Synopsis

[Forced marriage and ruthless pursuit + groveling to win her back] Beauty vs. power

The male lead isn’t a perfect person at first. He’ll dote on her, but he’ll also force her. The female lead disguises herself as a man. It’s not pure angst, and the later chapters get more comedic. She holds a grudge and will get back at him for everything.

Su Muning, a captive from a fallen kingdom, spent six careful years in the enemy country’s cold palace, thinking that simply staying alive was good enough. But when the new emperor took the throne, he suddenly began treating her well, granting her a princely title and mansion and even arranging a marriage for her. She thought His Majesty was fond of her elder sister and was just extending that affection to her. Then, on her wedding night, as the newlyweds were meant to be enjoying their first night together, the emperor appeared in her room…

It turned out he’d known all along that she wasn’t a man. He’d done all this just to possess her.

…

Love at first sight began with her face, but he was the first to fall in love. So he plotted a wedding night that would take her by force, believing his power could make her submit.

He tried coaxing her, deceiving her, clinging to her, and threatening her. But in the end, he realized she was only getting farther away…

What did it matter that he was the emperor? He was the one who fell first, and he was the one who had to submit.

Xiao Qi never imagined that someone as proud as he was would one day willingly become a kite in her hands, letting her lead him wherever she pleased…

Having read so many novels, I used to always hope that no matter how awful or bad the male lead was, he would eventually change his mind and the female lead would forgive him, resulting in a happy ending (I don't know why I have such a pathetic mentality 😂, maybe I just think the male lead should be with the female lead).

I love Fu Zhaonian so much 😢😢 I really want the female lead to be with him

You absolutely must not be together; this emperor is abusive.

I watched all afternoon and caught the latest episode. The male and female leads aren't perfect characters, but their personalities resonate with me. The female lead isn't a saint; when her sister betrayed her, she immediately severed ties—very nice and touching. The male lead isn't ruthless either.

Am I the only one who hopes that Anle will end up with Xiao Qi? So far, I personally feel that their relationship is more like love. Although Xiao Qi is extreme, his initial attraction to An Le's appearance, followed by his deep love, is more like a gradual progression of romance. An Le and Xiao Qi's love story is the soul of the book. Isn't a monarch's mad and persistent love more exciting, thrilling, and compelling than the second male lead, Fu Xiang, rising to power? 🤔

Four stars for Prime Minister Fu and the female lead, they were so wonderful... But it's such a pity, they were clearly in love, yet they ended up like this because of the powerful male lead... I really cried, they loved each other so much, they were almost married, I was truly devastated when I saw the part where the male lead kidnapped the bride...

I adore Fu Zhaojun, such a gentleman, possessing both refinement and talent. His love transcends gender; he only loves you because you are the one he has chosen. The one and only Fu Zhaojun! [Top post][Top post]

Although I don't like reading stories that torment the main characters, this one is indeed very well written.

It's good, but there's too little of it. The male lead is such a jerk, and Lin Wan'er is so pitiful because of him.
