The Regent Prince’s Beloved Consort Awakens

Zhao Shuang, the Prince Regent's consort, has awakened after sleeping for seventeen years! The women in the prince's residence are thrown into an uproar. Some start causing trouble, while others flee. The handsome Prince Regent looks at his beautiful wife, freshly awakened, and swallows hard, but can't understand why she sharpens her knives every day. Zhao Shuang winks at Yang Xuan. “My lord, this inner residence is so grand and luxurious. I wonder how many beauties live here?” The Prince Regent looks awkward. “I haven't counted. Probably more than a dozen. Do you think that's too many?” Zhao Shuang smiles sheepishly. “I was thinking... with so many people, we ought to have a picture book.” She'll have to keep this powerful patron close and look after him carefully! If she wants revenge for being disfigured by the True Samadhi Fire in her previous life and for the Soul-Eater insects that burrowed into her bones and gnawed at her heart, she'll need his help. Yang Xuan leans back, eyeing her warily. “What are you planning to do with this picture book?” “It's naturally for you to choose a companion. From now on, you can just open the book and look. Each one will have a picture and a description...” Zhao Shuang says obsequiously, but senses the atmosphere suddenly change. “What? Was... was I wrong?” Yang Xuan pulls her into his arms and looks down at her. “I haven't settled our score yet, and you're already in such a hurry... to push me into someone else's arms?!” (One-on-one romance, both leads are devoted to each other, sweet and doting)
