I Tamed the City's Deadliest Man

The Regent is the man the capital steps aside for. People who cross him are used as the example, and it has been a long time since anyone tried. Jiang Li reads the novel this place comes out of and complains about it the whole way through, and then she is inside it, in the body of the girl the book puts through everything. She has more physical strength than she knows what to do with and no ability to sit still. She decides early that if she is not going to be comfortable, nobody else is either. She hits the people written to hurt her, talks back at court, takes on her own family, and spends a night with the Regent. The ones who were supposed to ruin her come apart instead, far enough that they start doubting what they thought they knew. The Regent has never met anyone who is not afraid of him, and he keeps finding reasons to be wherever she is.
