[Possessive taking by force + faked death and escape + regretful pursuit + rivalry among men, one-on-one, both inexperienced, sweet romance, happy ending]
[Soft, flirtatious, calculating beauty who knows how to lure men VS refined scoundrel, aloof and untouchable, dangerously obsessive crown prince]
Everyone said that Crown Prince Xie Yunchen of the Eastern Palace was noble in character, as radiant as a gentleman, benevolent and courteous.
Only Jiang Wan saw the sanctimonious man beneath his immaculate robes, and the mad, obsessive streak beneath his cool, abstinent facade.
And still, she meant to tempt him.
-
After her family was slaughtered, Jiang Wan, whose beauty resembled the emperor's cherished first love, was taken into the palace as a child and kept as a substitute.
Unwilling to accept her fate of being sent to an old man's bed, Jiang Wan set her sights on the Eastern Palace's younger, more promising future heir.
Her first step in seducing him was to play a tempting little white rabbit, cater to his tastes, and catch his attention.
Next, she would draw him in by keeping him at arm's length, stirring his desire to conquer her.
Then she would keep him guessing, making her impossible to attain and leaving him anxious, consumed by thoughts of her.
But her prey refused to obey, and tried to turn the tables and control her.
Jiang Wan was done playing along. She turned around and married someone else.
The man, always so calm and self-controlled, went mad.
On her wedding day, he defied convention and seized her, taking her to the Eastern Palace.
He locked her in a brocade-draped chamber and tormented her day and night.
He wanted to imprison her for life, keeping her as his own.
After months without respite, Jiang Wan couldn't take it anymore, so she faked her death.
She wanted him to suffer every bitterness and sweetness, sinking deeper and deeper.
Only when something was hard-won could he learn to cherish it, and willingly bow to her.
Then the fish would never escape her grasp.
She knew this meant feeding herself to a tiger, yet she was determined to walk into the tiger's lair.
I really recommend it. The female protagonist is smart and makes the male protagonist fall step by step. She is still very sober. Although this is a new novel and not many people have read it and there are no ratings yet, I believe that as time goes by, more and more people will like it 😘[Flowing Kiss][Flowing Kiss]
