The Willow-Folding Waist: The Abstinent Prince Regent Drops His Act

After three years of letting the Hou Manor fall into disrepair, Jiang Yuning makes a grand return, determined to restore the Jiang family's glory as its legitimate daughter. But the women of her household are bullied throughout the capital, and everyone wants to take a jab at them.

"Miss, the Wuhou Manor's young cousin has murdered someone and burned the body. She's trying to frame you."

Jiang Yuning: "It's time that the military funds the Marquis embezzled three years ago found their way back into the soldiers' stomachs."

"Miss, the Chancellor's daughter hired a troupe to spread rumors that you're having an affair and have sullied your good name!"

Jiang Yuning: "It's a fine day for bringing out the Chancellor's dragon robe and giving everyone a good look."

Jiang Yuning's fearsome reputation spreads far and wide, and not a single matchmaker dares visit. The whole capital gloats: "A shrew like her deserves to grow old alone!"

The next day, Zhao Xuanjing arrives with 360 bridal gifts to ask for her hand. The abstinent, taciturn Regent tugs at her sleeve in public and drops all pretense: "A Ning, don't just be fierce with everyone else. Be fierce with me too."
