[Taking by force + pretending to be delicate + chasing his wife to the crematorium + dark and even darker]
They say you should never pick up a man you find on the roadside.
Chu Lingwan took that advice to heart, but somehow her adoptive older sister still picked up a man and insisted on giving him her surname. Left with no choice, Chu Lingwan agreed.
Years later, the once green young man had transformed into an emperor wielding supreme power.
He had promised to let her go, yet on her wedding day, he kissed her in front of the groom and imprisoned her in the palace.
She escaped again and again, only to be caught and “punished” every time.
Everyone said the emperor loved Consort Lian, the woman in the palace, beyond measure, and envied her. Who knew she had never wanted this imprisonment disguised as love?
He loved her proud nature, so different from everyone else's, yet he was the one who clipped her wings.
She was the girl he had fallen in love with at first sight as a boy. Shen Feili thought that as long as he held power, he could keep her safe.
He knew only that she would rather choose someone else than him. He didn't realize that his repeated obsession would only drive her farther away.
It was only when news arrived from afar that the man had died in battle, and she truly threw herself from that towering cliff for him, that Shen Feili understood: there were some things even power could not obtain...
Everyone knew the emperor had stolen the consort from another man on her wedding day.
The consort was a delicate beauty.
Tyrant: “Just my type.”
The consort was bullied by the Noble Consort.
Tyrant: “Strip her of her title.”
The ministers refused to let the emperor appoint an empress.
Tyrant: “Behead them.”
The empress dowager punished the consort.
Tyrant: “Behead her too.”
The consort had a beloved former fiancé.
Tyrant: “Bury him.”
By the time everyone realized Chu Lingwan wasn't delicate at all, it was too late.
Are the heroine and the hero together? The heroine's fiancé was harmed terribly by the hero.
