The Cold and Aloof Consort of a Possessive Emperor

After a sudden change in his family's fortunes, Lin Gongyun went from being the elegant young gentleman of a prime minister's household to a poor commoner, helpless in the face of the exorbitant cost of treating his father.

The man he had loved six years ago, but been forced to reject, appeared before him at just the right moment: Xia Mingyuan, the new emperor.

Lin Gongyun thought this immortal had descended from heaven to save him. Instead, Xia Mingyuan spoke with icy cruelty:

“Be my plaything, and I'll save your father.”

With no other choice, Lin Gongyun entered the palace to become Xia Mingyuan's male favorite.

Xia Mingyuan possessed him cruelly, and Lin Gongyun hated him to the core.

But why, sometimes, did this man seem to show a tenderness that slipped out without his noticing?

Lin Gongyun became the target of the harem's concubines.

When Noble Consort Dong mocked him as nothing but a lowborn male favorite, Xia Mingyuan made him a consort the very next day.

And Noble Consort Dong met with misfortune as well.

Similar incidents continued to happen one after another.

“How do you really see me?” One day, Lin Gongyun finally couldn't help asking Xia Mingyuan.

“I will never allow you to leave my side.” Xia Mingyuan held Lin Gongyun tightly in his arms. “Anything else, I can give you.”
