Rebirth to the Regent King's Youth

Jiang Ru transmigrated to ancient times and became an orphan. Content with her lot, she managed her small plot of land very well. Her life was thriving, and the future was promising.

Then, an imperial edict for the execution of the entire nine generations of a family arrived. Jiang Ru looked at the name of the powerful Regent King and roared, "I don't even know him!"

The soldiers delivering the edict sneered, "You are the daughter of the paternal aunt of the maternal aunt of the son of the granddaughter of the nephew of his great-grand ancestor. If not you, then who should be executed?" Jiang Ru was speechless. "I enjoyed absolutely no benefits when he was prospering, but now they're coming after me for his downfall?" Jiang Ru was furious.

When she opened her eyes again, she had been reborn. She was back to when she was fifteen, the year she became an orphan. Seeing her paternal uncles eyeing her family fortune, Jiang Ru sold her assets and embarked alone on a journey to find Pei Wu.

Regardless of whether she could enjoy prosperity with Pei Wu, at least she could ensure he didn't mess up so badly in this life and drag her down with him into the family's ruin. At their first meeting, she said to the young man who would one day wield supreme power, "Cousin, my parents have died, and I have no choice but to seek refuge with you."

The young man thought for a long time before finally asking, "May I ask who your esteemed mother is?" Jiang Ru fell silent. "Cousin, I am the daughter of the paternal aunt of the maternal aunt of the son of the granddaughter of the nephew of your great-grand ancestor." Pei Wu was speechless.

Regardless, Jiang Ru settled down in the Pei family. With two thatched huts and only one acre of land, they were impoverished. With her experience from her previous life, Jiang Ru managed their lives in an orderly manner. Just as the newly planted crops were about to be harvested, Pei Wu said, "I've passed the imperial examination and am going to the capital."

Jiang Ru had no choice but to pack up and follow him. Not long after settling in the capital, they moved into a grand residence that only princes and nobles could inhabit. Soon after, Jiang Ru moved into the imperial palace with Pei Wu. Jiang Ru exclaimed, "Last life you were the Regent King, but in this life, you've directly become the Emperor?"
