By the Throat! Against the Wall! The Mad Prince's Possessive Love

[Ruthless pursuit and possession + sweet on the surface, ruthless within heroine + dark, unhinged hero + clear-eyed surrender + the proud one begs + both leads have no other partners]

A world-weary, cold-blooded princess versus a dark, unhinged regent

Xie Chenyuan is the powerful, ruthless, and cold-blooded regent of the capital, as well as the sworn enemy of Shen Qingwu’s elder brother.

Shen Qingwu never thought she would have anything to do with Xie Chenyuan.

But on her wedding day, Xie Chenyuan came for her with a sword in hand.

Bright red beads of blood stained the snow in the courtyard as he closed in on her, step by step.

He lifted her red bridal veil with his sword and glared at her with sinister eyes. “Did the princess ever ask for my permission before deciding to marry?”

In front of everyone, Xie Chenyuan ignored her struggles, abducted her, and took her back to the Prince Regent’s manor to marry her!

Only after entering the manor did Shen Qingwu learn that Xie Chenyuan treated her with great affection in front of others.

In private, however, he hated her to the bone and tried again and again to kill her.

On their wedding night, Xie Chenyuan pinned Shen Qingwu against the wall by the throat, smiling with chilling menace.

“Surely the princess doesn’t think I forced you to marry me because I love you?”

“I merely want to play a game with you, Princess. You’d better hold on, and not die halfway through at my hands.”

Yet with every clash between them, Xie Chenyuan fell deeper, fully aware of his surrender.

Shen Qingwu, meanwhile, still wanted to kill him, and even tried to escape from him.

Xie Chenyuan panicked and fell to his knees, begging her. “Qingqing, you can kill me, but please don’t leave me. Will you?”

Shen Qingwu: Who said I wanted to live and die by your side?
