(Taking by force + devoted to each other + intense push and pull + not a strong female lead + sweetness and angst + competing men)
The male mistress takes his place
(A breathtaking beauty VS a mad, calculating, ruthless yet devoted prince)
Shen Lanzhi was the Crown Princess, a woman of incomparable beauty. She married the Crown Prince in a grand ceremony but never won his favor, spending her days in the lonely Eastern Palace while everyone pitied her.
What no one else knew was that another man had already become obsessed with her: the Prince of Qin. Arrogant and domineering, he loved her with such obsessive intensity that it left her suffocating.
Later, the Crown Prince failed to seize the throne, and his archenemy, the Prince of Qin, ascended as emperor.
Just as everyone assumed that the Crown Princess would fall into the new emperor’s hands and suffer terribly, wishing she were dead, someone saw her, dressed in mourning white, rush out of a rockery cave in the imperial garden. Her hair was disheveled, and her lip was bitten open.
The emperor hurried after her, holding a beautifully embroidered shoe. His usual cold severity gave way to a gentle coaxing tone. “Sui Sui, don’t run. Let me apologize, all right?”
Shen Lanzhi knew that her secret affair with Wei Ji was unforgivable in the eyes of the world. One day, she heard that the new emperor was about to appoint an empress, and she immediately faked her death and escaped.
Just as she began a new life and gradually forgot the past, one day the man appeared, seated in her room. Madness and obsession flickered in his shadowed eyes. “Sui Sui, I told you: as long as I don’t let go, I’ll haunt you even as a vengeful ghost.”
(The new emperor has his reasons for appointing an empress. From beginning to end, the male lead has only ever loved the female lead.)
I have read more than a dozen chapters so far, and I think it is okay so far. I hope that the rest of the chapter will be more powerful. I hope that the heroine is not a weakling, but a heroine with a bit of personality will be more lovable.
The storyline is reasonable and neat! Very much looking forward to the follow-up! Come on, author
Come on, author 🤭
