[Love at First Sight + Forced Possession + A Long Road to Winning Her Back + Devoted to Each Other]
Everyone says the young emperor is bloodthirsty and merciless.
Han Yining had only heard the rumors, but knew he was a ruthless man best left alone.
Then one spring outing destroyed the peaceful life she had known for so long.
On the day she became engaged to the man she loved, Jin Jinzhen happened to witness what happened.
His eyes were dark and unfathomable. He did nothing to stop it, merely saying to her coolly, “Congratulations. May the lovers be joined at last.”
Han Yining couldn't read his mind, but she stayed on her guard, hoping her wedding day would come soon so she could sever ties with him for good.
Yet on the eve of her wedding, he barged into her room under the pretext of a “thunderstorm,” marked her with a cinnabar mole, and forced her to break off her engagement to her childhood sweetheart. In return, he would revoke the wanted notice and spare the young man's life.
That night, he stayed in her room but didn't touch her.
He didn't come the next night, and she breathed a sigh of relief. But the very next moment, she saw him walk into her room.
His gaze on her was burning and unfathomable. She knew she wouldn't escape him tonight.
For the Empress,
