The Tyrant Emperor’s Overbearing Devotion

(My new novel, The Tyrant’s Sole Favorite: So Handsome It Hurts, is out now. Please support it!)

The first thing Shen Haoming did after ascending the throne was lock Ji Ran away in the “House of the Dead.”

“Ji Ran, remember this: Bai Nian’s life is worth far more than yours!”

“From today on, you’re no longer a general. You’re just a criminal in this House of the Dead! You don’t need to think of yourself as a living person anymore!”

From then on, Ji Ran’s life was shrouded in darkness.

“Shen Haoming, I really didn’t hurt your Bai Nian. If you hate me so much, why not just kill me and avenge him?”

Shen Haoming smiled cruelly. “Has no one ever told you that your body is perfect for testing medicine?”

Ji Ran learned firsthand what it meant to wish he were dead.

He had offered his life for love, only to have that love trampled underfoot. The pain in his heart was the worst of all.

While Ji Ran lived in the House of the Dead, he did everything he could to explain himself, but Shen Haoming wouldn’t listen.

When he was released, Ji Ran stopped trying to explain.

“Your Majesty, Ji Ran is guilty. I hurt someone, so why have I been released?”

Shen Haoming’s face turned ashen. “Be quiet! Don’t say that again! I wronged you. I’ll make it up to you, I swear.”

Ji Ran felt an endless sorrow: But Your Majesty, it’s already too late…

P.S. The wife-torturing is deliciously intense, but it goes way too far and the ship sinks. Get ready for all kinds of groveling to win him back!
