[Sweet Young Lady x Regent] Also known as "I Picked Up a Regent and Made Him My Husband"
Ming Jiao found a homeless mute and kept him by her side as a bodyguard.
Her mute bodyguard stayed by her side to protect her, took her to see the lanterns, and bought her pastries... Ming Jiao was very fond of him.
After her coming-of-age ceremony, her father came to take her back to the capital to marry her betrothed.
Ming Jiao wanted to bring her bodyguard with her, but he had disappeared.
Not long after she returned to the capital, her father offended the imperial in-laws and was demoted.
Her betrothed broke off their engagement, and her father often lamented that he had dragged Ming Jiao down with him.
Just then, the Regent sent someone to propose marriage.
Everyone in the kingdom knew the Regent was violent-tempered and bloodthirsty. Ming Jiao's father couldn't bear to see her suffer and wanted to refuse.
But Ming Jiao knew how difficult things were for her family. If they offended the Regent too, the Ming family might never know peace again. She had to marry him.
On her wedding night, Ming Jiao sat trembling on the bridal bed, afraid that the Regent might snap her neck if he became displeased.
But when he lifted her veil, her new husband was none other than the mute bodyguard who had left without a word!

It was rumored that Ming Jiao had been frail from birth, which was why she had been raised in Jiangnan.
How many days could such a delicate young lady last after marrying the cruel and ruthless Regent?
The whole capital waited for the spectacle.
Who could have guessed that after the wedding, the Regent would summon renowned doctors from across the land to treat her?
Ming Jiao's health grew better and better, and the Regent cherished her like a precious jewel.
At a palace banquet, a sudden downpour soaked the skirts of all the young ladies.
But the Regent effortlessly lifted his little princess consort into his arms and sheltered her beneath his cloak.
The Regent was drenched from head to toe, but not a single raindrop touched Ming Jiao in his arms.
Everyone was stunned. Was this really the cruel, cold-blooded Regent?

Rong Yanzhou had lived among schemes since childhood. He was nothing more than a pawn weighed and measured by those wielding imperial power.
No one had ever treated him with genuine affection, and his heart had long since turned to ice.
But after meeting Ming Jiao, his heart softened like the spring tide.
No matter what dangers lay ahead, he would use his shoulders to hold up a world of her own, keeping her safe in his arms for a lifetime.
