After Winning Over the Cold Emperor, He Became Obsessive and Forced His Love on Me

[Alluring, Scheming Consort × Cold, Obsessive, Unhinged Emperor]

Palace intrigue | Sweet romance | Faithful couple | Emotional push and pull | Unhinged, love-struck male lead

The late emperor arranged the marriage. Shen Ruoyan entered the Eastern Palace with a beloved man in her heart and a scheme in mind.

Charming and alluring in public, she plotted at every turn in private. She believed she'd won his boundless favor through her own cunning.

Xiao Jingyi saw through everything. He knew her affection was false and her heart belonged elsewhere, yet he indulged her at every turn, deceiving himself as he spoiled her rotten.

At a palace banquet, someone set her up, and she nearly fell prey to her old feelings

His jealousy spiraled out of control. He pinned her against the bed, his fingers tightening around her neck as he spoke in a sinister, feverish voice:

“Do you think you can escape me? Alive or dead, you are mine!”

She fought ruthlessly in the inner palace, crushing one consort after another. Slander and rumors reached his ears one after the other.

Instead of getting angry, he smiled tenderly. “Well done. My Yan'er should be exactly like this.”

Later, during a cold war between them, he deliberately pretended to favor someone else to test her feelings.

Consumed by jealousy and desperate to protect her position and her child, she secretly added an infertility drug to his soup.

He learned the truth and was about to explode with rage. But when he remembered that she had done it, he instantly broke into a delighted, obsessive smile.

So she did care about him.

She thought the palace was her game.

She had no idea he'd already woven a lifelong net of love around her, giving her his heart, his life, and his empire.
