The Emperor Keeps Trying to Win Me Over with Himself

What if she’s a fake son? A woman can still turn the world upside down.

(One-on-one sweet romance and satisfying revenge: a deranged, possessive heroine so ruthless even she fears herself, paired with a sensitive, cautious hero who overthinks everything and always takes her side.)

Xiao Yu transmigrates into the body of the Daqian Regent’s “legitimate son.” To stay alive, she follows in her father’s treacherous footsteps and becomes the infamous Little Regent.

She gets up early and goes to bed late every day, living in constant fear. By day, she keeps the court officials in line; by night, she has to coax the withdrawn young emperor. Her life is utterly miserable, and all she can do is hope the young emperor grows up soon so she can retire after completing her mission.

But somehow, things go wrong, and the young emperor grows up all crooked.

As a child, he used to cling to her and cry. Once he grew up, though, the tables turned...

When the young emperor, Jun Rong, turned twenty, he locked his beloved Grand Tutor in his bedchamber.

Xiao Yu: “Your Majesty, what are you trying to do?”

Jun Rong looked at her with perfect seriousness. “Grand Tutor, you’ve stayed unmarried for years for my sake. I feel guilty...”

Xiao Yu: “Just say what you mean!”

Jun Rong smiled faintly. “Grand Tutor, you’re always thinking about bringing peace to the realm and retiring once your work is done. But I only want to hold all the power and keep you by my side. I was afraid you’d run away, so I had no choice but to resort to this.”

Xiao Yu: ...

Well, look at that. The cabbage has grown up and wants to turn around and devour its gardener!
