After Reincarnating as the Female Disguised as a Male Chancellor

After the late emperor suddenly dies, he summons Xuanyuan Jue, who was raised in the countryside, back to succeed him.

Unfortunately for Su Cheng, she transmigrates into the body of a chancellor who disguises herself as a man. She is also bound to a Wise Ruler System, which tasks her with raising him safely and cultivating him into a great emperor.

She lowers her head and rubs her forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

When Xuanyuan Jue turns eighteen, Su Cheng proposes that he choose an empress.

But after looking through portraits of all the noble young ladies, she can't find a single one she likes.

He gazes at Su Cheng's lovely face and says he likes men.

Su Cheng's mouth twitches. With a cheeky grin, she says she likes men too.

Xuanyuan Jue's eyes light up, full of anticipation for what she will say next.

Who would have thought that she would search the entire realm for portraits of handsome men, choosing them even more carefully than he did? Xuanyuan Jue is so angry his teeth ache.

When the emperor comes of age at twenty, Su Cheng thinks she can finally retire after completing her mission. But a carriage abducts her and takes her into the palace. The innocent boy from her memories has somehow grown into a tall, mature man brimming with masculine charm.

Dressed in his imperial robes, Xuanyuan Jue gives her a dangerous look. "Sister, how long are you going to keep up the act?"

Su Cheng: ...Looks like I'm not getting away.

Xuanyuan Jue's strong hand clamps around her slender waist. He breathes against her fair neck. "No matter how long it takes, I'll play along with you."

It's over!

[Please add my upcoming story, After the Soft and Lovely Beauty Loses Her Memories, to your reading list]

Word has it that Regent Pei Xiao is mercurial, ruthless, and violently cruel. He supports a young child in ascending the throne, climbing blood-soaked steps to do it.

In no time, he becomes the notorious "God of Slaughter" throughout the Yong Dynasty.

In the year the young emperor ascends the throne, Rong Yao, the legitimate daughter of the Rong family in Jiangnan, loses her parents and is sent to the capital for an arranged marriage. Disaster strikes along the way.

When Pei Xiao rescues her, she has already lost her memory.

She only vaguely remembers that she has a husband.

Looking at Pei Xiao, whose expression is tender and full of concern, she tentatively calls out, "H-husband?"

Pei Xiao's dark eyes brighten. It seems she got it right. Rong Yao asks again, "Are you my husband? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Pei Xiao: "You don't remember me?"

Rong Yao's head throbs again and again. She shakes her head.

Pei Xiao gazes greedily at her face and decides to play the villain again. "I really am your husband. You loved me so much you couldn't live without me, and you said you'd marry no one but me."

Rong Yao blushes.

Pei Xiao gently coaxes her. "You also said you wanted us to grow old together. Do you remember now?"

Rong Yao's earlobes burn. Unable to bear his intensely possessive gaze, she answers softly, "...I think I do."

Pei Xiao's composed eyes darken. He pulls her into his arms, deciding to stop acting like a gentleman and let himself go mad for once.

One day, lightning flashes and thunder booms as torrential rain pours down. Rong Yao wakes from a dream and regains her memories.

She isn't his wife at all. She's his junior fellow disciple's fiancée!

And he is the very regent she has always feared.

She cautiously slips out of bed to escape. The moment her toes touch the floor,

the man behind her, looking utterly satisfied, gives her a dangerous look and yanks her wrist, locking her firmly against him.

"My treasured wife, where do you think you're going?"

In this life, let me be the one to protect you.
