[Modern woman in ancient times + tyrant + forced love + regret and atonement + pursuit of his wife]
Because her family had backed the wrong side, Chu Yu, in this body, became the main target of Xiao Jinglin's rages and venting after he ascended the throne.
He kept her locked in the inner palace by day and humiliated her in the rear hall every night.
Chu Yu valued her life. She could endure humiliation, but not death, so she cautiously pretended to comply.
At last, the male lead grew tired of her and agreed to set her free.
However, just as she happily married a man who loved her and prepared to start a new life...
When her veil was lifted, she found Xiao Jinglin sitting on the other side of the wedding bed!
Xiao Jinglin caressed her face, his voice hoarse and dangerous. “Yu'er, I regret it.”
“This time, I won't let you go, even if I die.”
An over-the-top, tearjerker of an ancient romance, equal parts angst and satisfaction.
