Imprisoned for Three Years, I Flee Pregnant and Drive the Tyrant Mad

Palace intrigue + physical and emotional torment + the hero’s long road to winning back his wife + pregnancy and flight + a mad-dog male lead and a yandere second male lead This is not a revenge fantasy. The heroine is miserable throughout, and only starts cruelly tormenting the male lead after she goes mad at the end (truly mad). They are not each other’s firsts. The heroine is tormented, and both the male lead and the second male lead are scumbags. The day Empress Chu died, a heavy snow fell. From then on, Pei Lin came to hate snowy days, finding them ill-omened. He and Lian’er had been childhood sweethearts, but the political situation forced him to make Chu Yue empress. On their wedding night, he meant to turn and leave, but beneath the candlelight he saw a glimpse of her wrist and her slender waist, narrow enough to fit in his hands. As if possessed, he took her. From then on, he grew ever more addicted to her body. Whenever he summoned Chu Yue to his bed, guilt toward Lian’er welled up inside him. So he turned their nights together into torture: it satisfied him without sullying the bond between him and Lian’er. He loved Lian’er and used Chu Yue to sate his lust. Everything seemed to be arranged perfectly. Until that snowy night, when word came from the Cold Palace that the former empress had passed away. The heroine’s perspective: Young and naive, she gave her heart to the wrong person. She never fought or competed, and in return suffered a lifetime of humiliation. Reborn, she still couldn’t escape the tyrant’s grasp. Just when she thought everything was finally looking up, she learned she had only escaped one prison to fall into another.
