The Chancellor Disowned Me, So I Married the Regent and Became the Pride of the Capital

Gu Ruoxi was the fifth young lady of the Prime Minister's residence, but because a fortune-teller said she would bring misfortune to her parents, she was sent to the countryside on the second day after her birth.

When she was finally brought back, the little cannon-fodder did everything she could to please her family. In return, she was forced to marry the sickly man said to bring death to his wives in place of her twin sister, then beaten to death by her own brothers. Later, the fifth young lady unexpectedly got a new soul, and she turned completely dark!

On the first day of her wedding, she publicly severed ties with the Prime Minister's family and latched onto the story's villain. Her whole family panicked and begged her forgiveness on their knees.

The whole family gets their comeuppance? Hah!

I'll scatter their ashes to the wind!

One day, the powerful Regent gathered Gu Ruoxi into his arms. “My princess, I just realized you got the short end of the deal.”

Gu Ruoxi: “How so?”

Huo Jingzhi: “You cured my illness, but only asked me to protect you for two years. That's not nearly enough.”

“Then... how long would be enough?”

“For the rest of your life. And I'll give you my life, too.”
