The Blind Bride's Revenge: The Regent's Wife Is Her Nemesis

[Sweet-Tongued, Ruthless, Sly Blind Spy X Aggressive but Easily Flustered Romantic Regent / Strong Female Lead / Male Lead Angst] [Morally Imperfect Female Lead] [I have a modern sweet romance on my upcoming list, its blurb is below: sunny girl X gloomy, long-haired househusband type. Please add it to your collection!]

The first time Jianqing smelled blood was when her master was surrounded and killed. Born blind, she remembered from that moment on the burning heat of blood and the sound of blades clashing.

After the Empress of Ning saved her, her extraordinary talents helped her grow quickly into one of the top Plum Blossom Guards, able to stand on her own. Her codename was Qingmei.

Jianqing was sent to a brothel in Yundu, the capital of Huan, which served as a vital hub for confidential intelligence exchanges.

But she never expected that, at a moment of crisis, a woman with a face exactly like hers would appear. She successfully took the place of the Princess of Xu sent to marry into another kingdom, entering the Regent's manor and becoming the wife of her old rival, Chu Yuze.

Accustomed to relying on her wits, she had planned to use her abilities to win the regent's trust and become his ally. She never expected Chu Yuze to be so easy to tease.

So what if Jianqing had no experience with romance? The man across from her was already blushing!

“I hear the princess once had a romance back in her homeland.”

“Why is the Third Young Master of the Yuchi family so attentive to you?”

“How come you're so familiar with that physician, too?”

At first, Jianqing only smiled, thinking he was just another ordinary man who was captivated by beauty. A simple beauty trap had robbed him of his senses, which worked out perfectly for her.

But she forgot that a beauty trap was a way to ensnare the heart. She herself seemed to have fallen beyond saving.

But she would never fall when it came to her career!

As the regent entrusted by the late emperor to carry on his legacy, he had grown used to being cursed by the aristocratic clans and feared by the common people. As the living King of Hell, whose name made the whole court tremble, he had resigned himself to a life of solitude.

He never expected that an expected political marriage would be followed by a sudden fire, leaving his bride blind.

At the same time, the top blind performer in Yundu vanished without a trace after being freed from her contract.

Such a perfect coincidence made him think of his old rivals, the Plum Blossom Guards of Ning.

Again and again, he tested her, and again and again his suspicions came to nothing. Yet along the way, he realized they took the same steps.

A kindred spirit, someone who walked with him in the shadows and was even a little clever, was his princess consort.

For Chu Yuze, this was the most fatal of attractions.

So he fell without putting up any resistance, and all his emotions could be stirred by nothing more than her faint smile.

Thus, when he discovered that his princess consort had been taking contraceptive pills all along, he asked in a tired, humble voice:

“Does she despise me that much?”

Upcoming novel: Blue-Hued Sunlight:

★ At fifteen, Jiang Zhixia thought of Shen Gui: He's a good person.

At twenty-five, Jiang Zhixia meets Shen Gui again, now with long hair: He's the perfect househusband type. I'm in love!

1*

Shen Gui was back, now a promising young vice president of a corporation, and he had grown his hair long.

Jiang Zhixia, meanwhile, was an utterly ordinary assistant to a celebrity.

They hadn't seen each other for seven years. From head to toe, he had become exactly her type, and he kept making advances toward her.

Even though her heart fluttered, the difference in their circumstances forced her to draw a clear line between them.

Later, at their middle school's centennial reunion, she used the alcohol as an excuse to force a kiss on the CEO in the private room where her classmates had gathered.

But according to witnesses, it wasn't a forced kiss.

It was more like she forcibly gobbled him up.

Well, what could she do? He was exactly her type, and his lips looked so soft.

2*

Jiang Zhixia's ex-boyfriend had always been a thorn in Shen Gui's side. He'd heard the guy was pretty devoted, too, and had learned to eat spicy food for her.

Bad news: Jiang Zhixia went to eat hotpot with her ex.

Good news: Jiang Zhixia came home hungry because she hadn't eaten her fill.

Shen Gui spent the whole night on edge, until he finally got a chance to show off his skills.

Shen Mommy: Being able to eat spicy food isn't impressive. Being able to cook spicy food is.

If you want to win a woman's heart, good looks that suit her taste are essential, and cooking for her, in both senses of the word, is just as important!

3*

After they got together, they started living a sweet and lovey-dovey life under one roof.

But the truth couldn't stay hidden forever. The young couple got caught in the act, leaving Jiang Yuedong red-faced.

Jiang Yuedong packed up and took his troublesome little sister home, cursing, “If you don't come back, are you planning to marry him? It's not that easy to marry into the Shen family!”

He thought he'd finally shut them both up.

Then Shen Gui suddenly said, “I can marry into your family.”

Jiang Zhixia: ...

Jiang Yuedong: Passed out

2. The male lead engages in voyeuristic behavior early on. In short, he's a pretty, love-starved pervert who also puts effort into his looks. Don't read if that's not your thing.

3. He really is the type of househusband who gets called Mommy by the heroine in and out of bed. The heroine has a slight imprinting-on-the-first-person-she-sees complex. This is an indulgence piece, so don't read if that's not your thing.
