The Alluring Legitimate Daughter Is Cherished at Any Cost by the Unhinged Regent

Gu Qing is a madman.

In her previous life, the Shen family was destroyed and her father died unjustly. More than twenty members of her family were exiled, and she was the only one left behind.

Her uncle took her in, then promptly sent her as a gift to the notorious regent's manor.

The regent, Gu Qing, was a madman who loved making human-skin lanterns. What Shen Ange feared most was him holding up a lantern and asking, “Does it look good?”

Later, she died unjustly while investigating a case, and thought she had finally found release.

But Gu Qing stole her corpse.

She thought she had become a ghost because she couldn't be laid to rest. In a fury, she swore that if she could live again, she would never meddle in other people's affairs, whether he was drugged or beaten to death. She wouldn't see any of it.

Barely had she finished her oath when she was reborn. True to her vow, she diligently played the part of the Shen family's eldest daughter. First, she rejected the hypocritical Zhou family's marriage proposal. Then, she dazzled everyone at a banquet, face-slapping the noble young ladies and winning the Shen family some much-needed respect.

But she still ran into that madman.

In a dark alley, he lay sprawled on the ground. A servant reported to Shen Ange, “Miss, look how pitiful he is. Let's help him.”

Shen Ange took one look and recognized him. She shot the servant a cold glance, acting as if none of it concerned her. “Your young lady isn't a bodhisattva. How can I help everyone? Hurry up and leave.”
