Synopsis

A delicate, clever beauty and a cold, ruthless, scheming Commander of the Imperial Guards. Coercive romance, one couple only, both virgins, a little groveling, an alternate setting, and a happy ending.

The hero is controlling, scheming, and no good man. There are some scenes of confinement later on. He absolutely spoils the heroine, but he’s also secretly a devoted puppy. The more of a jerk he is at first, the more meek and humble he becomes later.

Wan Ying lost both her parents. To reclaim the family’s farmland in the capital, she traveled from Huaining to the capital, facing danger and hardship all along the way. She never expected to meet a benefactor when she was at her most desperate.

Kneeling on the ground, she clutched the benefactor’s robe and gazed up at him with her delicate, lovely face. Her voice was soft and alluring as she pleaded, “My lord, save me!”

Xiao Lin, the powerful Commander of the Imperial Guards, looked down at the beautiful woman at his feet. Half his handsome face was hidden in the candlelight, making his expression impossible to read.

Many people begged him to spare their lives, but she was the first to beg him to save hers.

Later, rumors spread that Commander Xiao, born into a prestigious family, had no interest in women and was decisive, cold, and ruthless. Yet he broke his own rules and bowed to one woman, losing his heart and soul to her.

Wan Ying was tricked by her cousin and infected with a Miaojiang love-binding poison. To survive, she had to sleep forty-nine times with the first person with whom she shared a mutual attraction.

One day, a renowned female doctor from Miaojiang arrived in the city. Blushing and flustered, Wan Ying stumbled through an explanation of her condition.

The doctor looked puzzled, took her pulse, and studied the beautiful woman before her, whose cheeks were flushed like a crabapple basking in the sun. Frowning, she said, “My dear, could a man have tricked you? You haven’t been poisoned by any kind of love spell!”

Whether a forced match turns out sweet is something only she can know.

A sweet, indulgent romance at heart, with a heroine who doesn’t suffer in silence.

Although the Imperial Guard commander was a bit of a jerk at first, he couldn't resist his gentleness towards the female lead! The female lead is beautiful and has a great figure, no wonder the Imperial Guard commander fell for her so easily!! The best part is that both the male and female leads have mouths, so there aren't any melodramatic misunderstandings, which is great 🥰

I liked the character design in this book, and the story progressed quite quickly. I think the male lead was initially attracted to the female lead at first sight, but gradually fell in love with her after a series of events. The main reason this novel became so engaging was because of the snowball incident that it provoked the male lead. 😏

It's good, I loved reading it. The male lead's character wasn't very likable in the beginning, but when the second male lead appeared, I really wanted him to take her place. Both the male lead and the second male lead are scheming and not good people; they'll do anything to get the female lead. The second male lead is even quite obsessive and possessive.

It's exceptionally good, with a complete structure, clear logic, and distinct characters. I followed it all the way through before realizing it was a serialized series. The author is really pushing the pace!

It's supposed to be a sweet romance, but the male lead's character is really hard to describe. He almost forcibly took the female lead, and then quickly forgave her for the insults inflicted by her mother. This not only fails to address the actual problems, but his final respect and apology to her also stems from the fact that she was a princess who had been raised in the common world.

A super sweet and saccharine short story! The author's writing style is very delicate, the events unfold gradually, captivating the reader and keeping the suspense alive. There are no messy entanglements or palace intrigue. It's a pure and sweet story. The male and female leads are powerful and charismatic!

I loved the plot! The erotic scenes were also written very smoothly! The way the car tires ran over my face and left tire tracks made me smile like a proud auntie. It's five stars for sweetness, but not cloying at all. Sisters, go for it!
