Synopsis

[An obsessive, unstable emperor vs. a steadfast little eunuch]

[Obsessive and unstable + coercive possession + one-sided forced love + both are each other’s first and only + a long road to redemption]

The emperor was decisive, cold-blooded, and ruthless. Then one day, the entire palace learned that a canary lived in Zhaohua Hall. The emperor considered him his one vulnerability, and anyone who dared offend him would die.

The emperor was possessive to the point of madness. He wanted his beloved to have eyes for no one but him, and to control every joy and sorrow he felt. For the person he loved, he was even willing to give up half his realm.

But he never expected that the person in his arms had come with an ulterior motive. Once his goal was achieved, he wanted to leave, with not a hint of regret in his heart. They met again when the young man was smiling and chatting at the side of his childhood friend.

Furious beyond reason, the emperor decided that if tenderness couldn’t make him stay, he would break his wings, force him, imprison him, and keep him by his side for the rest of their lives.

At last, he no longer had to restrain himself and humbly beg for a scrap of love. When he saw the golden chains winding down from the imperial bed and fastened around those fair, slender ankles, he finally felt secure.

At night, he sat in the carriage, holding the person who had cried himself unconscious in his arms. He stared at the mansion burning into ruins before him, his eyes dark, his heart filled with indescribable satisfaction. At last, he belonged to him alone...

A Yandere Novel

I'm trying to find a novel, but I can't remember its title. I only remember that the female lead confessed to him several times, or maybe dozens of times, and he turned her down. Then her childhood friend came along, and the two of them got together. The male lead regretted it afterward. His friend had warned him that he would.
