Regent, Please Stay

Everyone said that Fifth Miss Murong had a face like a yaksha and moved like a vengeful ghost, and could stop children from crying. That was why she never took off her mask.

The former number-one beauty: “...” What a load of nonsense!

Rumor had it in the Kingdom of Ling that Fifth Miss had nothing but brute strength and was so stupid she had no prospects, which was why her relatives disliked her.

The new top scholar: “...” I can't believe I fell for your lies!

Word on the street was that Fifth Miss... and so her family had cast her aside, making her a disgrace to the clan.

A certain regent: “...” Heh.

They say...

Everyone: “Shut up! We're not falling for it again!”

The people who had watched the whole thing unfold, along with the Murong clan: “We really weren't pretending to be weak so we could catch our enemies off guard. It's called keeping a low profile. Is it our fault if we're not boastful enough?”

The mastermind behind it all: He leaves without a trace, his achievements hidden from sight.

Murong Qiege: “Master, stop pretending to be dead...”

This is the story of a powerful heroine whom everyone underestimates because of rumors. She stays cool and unfazed on the inside while slapping people in the face and turning their worldview upside down.
