The Tyrant’s Adored Darling

Yu Shu died once, only to realize that she was nothing more than cannon fodder in an ancient tale. In her previous life, Yu Shu was the most favored princess with the renowned war god Xiao Jingyao as her fiancé. Her status was unmatched, and no one could surpass her. But a sudden turn of events led to Xiao Jingyao marching his army into the imperial capital, toppling the dynasty. Yu Shu became his captive, a golden caged bird in the harem. A bowl of medicine took her life, and when she opened her eyes again, Yu Shu had transmigrated into the Ninth Princess of Xijiang, once again destined to be sent into Xiao Jingyao’s harem. … Reborn, Yu Shu no longer harbored any thoughts of Xiao Jingyao. Yet, when she met Xiao Jingyao again, wearing the same face as her previous life, her veil slipped, revealing her features. What she saw was Xiao Jingyao’s incredulous expression, followed by a suppressed, tender whisper, “Yu Shu…” … Emperor Xiao Jingyao had one true love, but sadly, his love was dead—a painful, irreversible wound in his heart. Xiao Jingyao’s harem was empty, and he lived a life of abstinence. No woman who tried to climb into his bed ever succeeded. Until the Ninth Princess of Xijiang entered the palace. Xiao Jingyao’s demeanor changed drastically. He doted on her excessively, demanding her presence by his side every day and even naming the child she bore as the crown prince. Everyone said it was all because of her face. Yushu covered her face: in truth, it was her soul that won him over.
