Murong Sang is the beautiful and cherished Princess Zhaoren of the Great Jin. Three years ago, the emperor betrothed her to Ji Yanchuan, the Protector General. On their wedding day, an enemy nation invaded, and Ji Yanchuan was ordered to war. He was gone for three years.

Three years later, the princess is radiant and beautiful, and her consort is handsome and dutiful. Everyone assumes they will live happily ever after, Murong Sang included. But then a woman arrives and shatters it all...

They say Prince Regent Ji Junyao is ruthless and has no interest in women. She is the one exception.

When they first met, he was down on his luck, prostrate at her feet, while she was radiant and beautiful... She was like a beam of light, driving away the darkness and cold inside him.

On the night before their divorce, Ji Junyao trapped Murong Sang by the bed. She glared at him angrily. “Are you insane?”

In a fragrant, warmly lit canopy bed, the handsome man reached out with an iron-like arm and clamped it around her waist. His gaze burned as he fixed his eyes on her. “Tonight, you belong to me...”

Having tasted her sweetness, the man became hopelessly enamored with the lovely, delicate princess. But the little princess always saw him as a ravenous beast, found him annoying, and refused to accept his advances or marry him~~

In the end, he had no choice but to use both force and persuasion, coaxing and deceiving her into falling deeper...

A fictional world, with an entirely fabricated historical setting~~
