After I Ran Away, the Unhinged Powerful Official's Eyes Turned Red with Rage

Traditional historical romance, both leads are chaste, face-slapping, possessive love

Xie Mingyi, the young marquis of the Dingyuan Marquis’s household, became one of the emperor’s most trusted confidants at a young age. Everyone said he was graceful and refined, steady and easygoing.

That was until a beautiful young cousin arrived at the marquis’s residence, looking so delicate and pitiful that she seemed afraid of him at first sight.

Jiang Rong had come to the capital to seek out her relatives. Staying at the marquis’s residence, she went to pay her respects to its master, the young Marquis Xie.

To her surprise, the face she saw as soon as she entered belonged to the man who had saved her life and shared a fleeting night of passion with her on the road to the capital.

Jiang Rong didn’t want to revisit that reckless affair, so she deliberately avoided him and kept her distance.

But when she grew closer and closer to Xie Mingyi’s cousin, the third young master of the Xie family, he could no longer keep his composure.

By day, he was a peerlessly noble marquis. But at night, he would barge into her room and pin her down on the bed.

Jiang Rong knew she and Xie Mingyi were worlds apart in status, and she had no intention of becoming his concubine.

At last, when he was away, she fled to a place where no one knew her.

Just as she began to think she could live like that forever, someone burst through her door. “How long do you think you can keep hiding from me?”
