Reborn as the Regent Princess Consort

On the day Yun Nuan was to be engaged to her cousin, Prince Regent Mu Liang snatched her away in front of the entire capital. From then on, she became a bird in his cage.

Who didn't know that Mu Liang was a living King of Hell, feared even by ghosts? She was terrified of him and hated him with all her heart for breaking up her and her cousin, a pair of lovers.

It wasn't until Mu Liang was branded a traitor and she escaped her cage to find her cousin that she accidentally overheard him talking with her stepsister inside. Only then did she learn the truth: it had all been their scheme to get rid of her so the two lovers could be together.

In despair, she leapt into the icy lake.

As she closed her eyes, she saw Mu Liang dive into the water, his face stricken with panic unlike anything she had ever seen.

He held her freezing body in his arms, sitting in the snow with red-rimmed eyes. "I'm here. Don't be afraid."

His words, so tender, made her heart tremble.

Given a second life, she decided to build a good life with him.

Bonus scene:

Mu Liang was injured and refused to let anyone tend to him. He was applying medicine alone in his room when Yun Nuan nervously walked in and timidly took the medicine from his hand.

He glanced at her and asked coldly, "You're not afraid of me anymore?"

Her voice trembled. "I am, but I'm more worried about you."

His Adam's apple bobbed. He pulled her into his arms, ignoring her frantic pleas to be careful of his wound.

She didn't know that for her, he would gladly bleed every drop of blood in his body.

Reading note: A sweet little treat, sweet from start to finish.

Theme: Stand strong and persevere through hardship.
