After I Stop Being a Pampered Concubine, the Marquis's Household Regrets It Bitterly

Pei Ruanuan is reborn. She has just climbed up from a cliff when she runs into the enemy from her previous life. “Your Highness, the Regent, how about I help you detoxify?” Rong Jinchen grabs Pei Ruanuan by the throat. “I knew all along that you went to such lengths to get close to me for some shameful reason!” Little does he know that when Pei Ruanuan was reborn and saw the Regent, all she wanted was to repay the debt she owed him from her previous life. After all, she was the one who poisoned him to death back then. With wolves and tigers lurking in her own household and hostile eyes fixed on her at court, the legitimate daughter of a mere Deputy Minister has become everyone’s prize catch. Yet Pei Ruanuan is devoted only to Rong Jinchen. She would even risk her life to cure his poison. But once he has recovered, the man looks at her coldly. “You saved me for the money, didn’t you? Don’t tell me you’ve fallen in love with me. Pei Ruanuan, do you even have a sincere heart? Are you worthy of one?” Pei Ruanuan has spent her life scheming, but in the Regent’s eyes, everything she does is driven by ulterior motives. She throws her head back and laughs. So she isn’t worthy after all! After narrowly surviving death, Pei Ruanuan finally understands. If she isn’t worthy of loving someone else, she might as well love herself more. She’ll cross mountains and rivers and see all the beauty in the world, so she won’t have wasted this second chance at life. Just before she leaves, the Regent suddenly catches up with her carriage. Through the curtain, he says in a trembling voice, “Ruanuan, I’ll marry you!” Inside the carriage, Pei Ruanuan smiles bitterly. “Your Highness, you’ve forgotten. I’m not worthy!”
