There's No Way the Regent Couple Could Be This Loving

Three years ago, Xie Shu, the aloof and cold Regent who held the court in his grasp, was forced to marry Princess Mingyi. On their wedding night, Xie Shu publicly abandoned his beautiful bride and left for the northwest with his army that very night. Three years later, Xie Shu returned victorious. Mingyi handed him a letter of divorce, lifted her beautiful eyes, and said coldly, "Let's divorce." Xie Shu said nothing. He simply carried her inside and lowered his head to cover her soft lips with his. Mingyi: "What are you doing?" Xie Shu: "Consummating the marriage." How can you know whether to divorce if you haven't even tried being married? Everyone knew the regent and his wife were at odds and couldn't stand one another. Recently, rumors had been spreading that the Regent was meeting a mysterious beauty at a hot spring resort, while the Princess's health was failing and she was bedridden. Everyone speculated that it wouldn't be long before this estranged couple divorced. Until one day, while the ministers were reporting to the Regent in his study, separated from him by a screen, a drunken Mingyi staggered out from the inner room, her face flushed and radiant. She made her way straight to Xie Shu's arms as if she knew the route by heart. A glimmer shone in her eyes as she complained indignantly, "I don't want to bathe with you in the hot springs anymore. Never again. If we go again, you'll..." "Quiet." Xie Shu leaned down and cut her off with a cold expression. The ministers on the other side of the screen: ?!? The ministers tactfully withdrew. In the dead of night, Xie Shu shut the door and pinned the drunken, dazed Mingyi against it, whispering audaciously, "Open your mouth." A stunning, lavishly beautiful princess X a cold, seductive, ridiculously perfect regent A seemingly chaste and abstinent regent who actually devours his wife down to the bones, and a proud, pampered princess of breathtaking beauty. Their many ways of showing off their love. June 12, 2021. A sweet marriage-before-love 1v1 HE. *Updates every night between 10:00 p.m. and midnight. Coming soon: A City of Beauty. Please add it to your reading list. Rong Yang, a princess who rules the country as regent, and Shen Jin, the Regent, have spent years at each other's throats. You are heartless, I am cold-blooded. We are sworn enemies. Until they are both struck by a love potion. When apart, they ache for each other; when together, they want to get closer. The more they resist, the harder it becomes to suppress their desire for one another. Rong Yang, who has always been strong-willed, refuses to accept this wretched fate. To break the spell, she decides to kill Shen Jin. He has the same idea. * On the night of the full moon, during a grand banquet, they meet behind a rockery, their breaths mingling. Rong Yang holds a gold hairpin to Shen Jin's throat, forcing herself to stay calm. "What do you want?" The long sword at Shen Jin's waist slips to the ground with a clatter. His usually unruffled voice trembles slightly as he lowers his head and parts her lips. "What do you think?" The night passes in a blur. By dawn, the little emperor and more than a hundred ministers happen upon them, their clothes in disarray. * Forced to marry, Rong Yang and Shen Jin share a bed every night because of the love potion. They endure this miserable life day after day. Then, once the spell is broken, they decide to return to their respective positions and resume their former lives. Rong Yang and Shen Jin discuss how to divorce and agree on all the terms. Suddenly, Shen Jin coughs a few times. "Perhaps we shouldn't divorce after all. If you leave, our daughter will miss you." He pauses, then adds, "So will I." -- Coming soon: After the Political Marriage Jiang Si and He Chen are political spouses who reluctantly married for their own benefit. They barely met before the wedding, and spent little time together afterward. They never bothered to hide how little affection they felt for each other as husband and wife. But if you asked the people of the capital which couple was made for each other, they would undoubtedly rank them first. The reason sounds absurd, yet somehow convincing: One is a stunning, dazzling beauty who is all looks and no substance; the other is an ambitious schemer. A perfect match, like a turtle and a mung bean. A beautiful calamity and a treacherous minister. The general idea is: these two villains must be locked together immediately. Jiang Si: "..." Jiang Si and He Chen agreed to leave each other alone after they married. For more than two years, they had worked hard to maintain their loveless, outwardly harmonious marriage. But recently, Jiang Si noticed that He Chen was becoming less and less committed to the act. They had agreed to ignore each other at flower-viewing banquets, but while everyone else admired the flowers, he admired her, his eyes inexplicably brimming with devotion to his wife. They had agreed to keep marital duties to a minimum, once on the first and fifteenth of each month, but then... As a result, rumors about their happy marriage grew more and more widespread. Someone even wrote a book celebrating their love. Jiang Si angrily took the book to He Chen and confronted him. "Just look at how ridiculous this is!" He Chen opened the book and fell silent for a long while. Then he picked Jiang Si up, carried her into the inner room, and showed her through his actions that he could be even more outrageous.
