Kidnapped into a Den of Villains to Become Emperor and Empress

[Marriage first, love later + some coercive control + adored by everyone + mutual healing]

[The heroine grows stronger: weak at first, powerful and darkened later]

From the moment Xi Wan was treated as a disposable pawn, she knew her life would amount to nothing.

Her clan abandoned her in a remote border town, leaving her just enough to cling to life.

She thought she would spend her days there in obscurity, until one day an unwelcome guest arrived in town.

The dreaded Nightmare Emperor set foot in the town and came to propose with betrothal gifts in hand.

Before she could figure out what was going on, Xi Wan was whisked away to the infamous Nightmare Clan, where everyone was said to be a villain, and made their empress.

Countless times, she imagined they would torment her, use her, and drain every last drop of blood from her.

She had no freedom and wanted only to escape. She thought this place was just a deeper abyss, but reality gave her a rude awakening… The cold, ruthless Nightmare Emperor was actually a doting husband with absolutely no limits.

Eventually, she accepted reality and clung tightly to Xiang Li, the Nightmare Emperor. If she couldn’t escape, she might as well join in, and soon she became the whole nest of villains’ darling…

Xiang Li: “Trying to run? What, haven’t you figured out how to cling to me yet?”

Xi Wan: “I have, I have…”

As long as she holds on to her powerful protector, she can have anything she wants. Money, status, connections, equipment… all hers for the asking.
