The Male Leads Force Their Love on Me, but the Princess Only Wants to Shine Alone

[Soft, beautiful heroine + cold, ruthless, unhinged first male lead + sickly, scheming second male lead + devoted male leads + love and hate + brothers turn against each other + groveling for love + third male lead wins] Chu Huayi was terribly unlucky: she transmigrated into the body of a princess from a fallen kingdom. The moment she arrived, rebel leader Jun Jinyuan marched his army into the palace. Seeking revenge for his family’s massacre, he not only drove her father to his death, but slaughtered the princes and royal descendants. The princesses and consorts were left to be trampled to death by the soldiers. Chu Huayi survived by sheer luck, thanks to her peerless beauty. But her life became worse than death. She was chained up like an animal in a freezing hall, and Jun Jinyuan publicly humiliated her. And that wasn’t all. In his deranged effort to test the loyalty of his subordinates and court officials to him as the new ruler, he demanded that they do the same thing to her in front of him. When the generals and officials refused, he sold Chu Huayi to a brothel and issued a brutal order: every court official had to visit her. Chu Huayi secretly swore: Jun Jinyuan, one day I’ll make you lose your heart and your life, abandoned by everyone. I’ll take back the throne of the Chu family with my own hands. So let’s start with your dear brother-in-arms. PS: The first male lead, Jun Jinyuan, is cold, ruthless, and hard to win over. He torments the heroine early on. Once he falls for her, he grovels to win her back, only to be tormented by her in return, crying every day and washing her feet on his knees. The second male lead, Xie Jingsui, is a sickly, scheming man who goes from resisting her to falling for her. But hatred keeps him from admitting it, so he resorts to secret schemes and imprisoning her, keeping her at arm’s length. The first and second male leads were sworn brothers who were as close as could be. They turn against each other over the heroine, and the three of them engage in a fierce push and pull... The heroine will reclaim the throne and become an empress. Both male leads will grovel to win her back, but they’ll only be worthy of serving her by washing her feet. In the end, the third male lead gets the girl.
