The Black Lotus Slays Her Way Through the Marquis’s Estate, While the Prince Regent Offers Her a Blade and a Marriage Contract

Pei Zhixia transmigrated to her wedding night at the marquis’s manor. From the start, she was a concubine, and the entire family was sentenced to exile. To rescue her younger siblings from exile, Pei Zhixia had no choice but to give herself to the marquis’s household. “I’m the daughter of a disgraced minister, with barely any dowry. What could the people in this entire household have been coveting for so long?” Her scumbag husband wants to step on her to climb higher? She’ll play along and flatter him until he falls! They frame her for having an affair? She’ll turn around and send her sister-in-law to a male courtesan’s bed! They want to find clues to the Pei army’s tiger tally in her dowry? She’ll take down the people and the whole household in one fell swoop! Her bracelet, which connects to the modern world, is stolen, and several shadow guards drop from the sky. “Anyone who takes another step will be killed!” The shadow guard leading them is graceful and striking, with an extraordinary bearing. But… why does he look more and more like the Ninth Prince, Xie Yi, whom she saved after he fell from his horse years ago? She says, “I never imagined the Regent’s side job was being a shadow guard.” “If I can’t marry you, then I’ll protect you in secret.” After she achieves her goal and steps away, the usually composed and reserved Regent pursues her across a thousand miles. Red-eyed, he begs her to comfort him. “I’ve already waited five years, A Zhi… Don’t make me wait any longer, please.”
