The Beauty Gives Him a Gentle Tease, and the Emperor Takes Her by Force

The heroine, Song Huajun, is a married woman who refuses to become a caged songbird. The hero, Xiao Jingqian, is a ruthless, obsessive emperor. Song Huajun was born into a humble family and lost her mother when she was young. When she came of age, she was to be married, only to discover that her fiancé already had a mistress. Unwilling to marry a man like that, Song Huajun exposed everything at a banquet, and the engagement was called off. When her scheme came to light, she was targeted for revenge. Her family was too frightened to stand up for her, so Song Huajun had no choice but to win the sympathy of the Grand Princess and escape the Dou family. One day, Song Huajun accidentally offended Princess Zhaohua at the palace. The princess wouldn’t let it go and wanted to scar her face. In desperation, Song Huajun fled into a palace hall, where she stumbled into Xiao Jingqian’s sight. “Help me, please!” The girl’s eyes shimmered, and she looked so pitiful that the man’s heart stirred for no reason. He felt compassion for her in an instant. For years afterward, he could never forget the rippling autumn-water gaze in the girl’s eyes that day. Three years later, Xiao Jingqian ascended the throne, while Song Huajun had become the Prince of Zhao’s wife, his sister-in-law. She and her husband shared a deep bond and a happy marriage. When they met again, Xiao Jingqian saw her nestled in another man’s arms, and jealousy drove him wild. One day, Song Huajun went out to pray for blessings and was caught in a sudden downpour. Forced to take shelter nearby, she was pulled tightly into his arms. She struggled desperately, then fled in a panic. Afterward, the Prince of Zhao was imprisoned, while Xiao Jingqian confined Song Huajun in the harem... This is a different kind of story about taking someone by force. The heroine is forced by the hero, but she doesn’t simply run away or back down. Instead, she gets revenge and brings him to heel, making him obey her, seizing power, and starting her life anew. (P.S. Neither the hero nor the heroine is a good person.) (Forced romance + twisted, scheming obsession + emperor-and-empress couple)
