[A slightly unhinged heroine: Lin Qingjia, gentle and stunning, a gifted actress who only wants to go home × a very unhinged hero: Xiao Jingheng, a gentleman in name only, a mad dog in truth, suspicious, emotionally starved, and neurotic]
[They both play-act around each other + coercive love + love without reciprocation + the hero's long road to winning her back + a master dog trainer + the powerful one bows his head]
PS: Neither has been with anyone else. The hero switches between devoted puppy and mad dog.
Their first meeting was a long-planned act of exploitation.
Lin Qingjia, a “chosen one” from the modern world, existed to cure Xiao Jingheng's poison curse. Everyone around him was using her. What did it mean for someone to be sincere?
Their days together were loving on the surface but distant beneath, a constant battle of wits.
Xiao Jingheng thought he had planned every step and won her heart, never realizing that everything she did was an act.
“If you were going to lie to me, why not keep lying forever?”
The woman only smiled, parting her red lips to deliver a merciless answer: “I love someone. It just isn't you.”
All he could do was watch helplessly as she crossed through the spacetime gate without a backward glance and returned to another world.
Later, everyone knew that their lofty emperor had someone dear to his heart~
No one had ever seen the empress's true face. They joked that she must be a fox spirit from the mountains who had bewitched His Majesty.
Then one day, they saw the adorable little crown prince.
A rumor soon spread through the capital: “The empress must be beautiful. His Majesty can't bear to let anyone else catch even a glimpse of her.”
But only Lin Qingjia knew that this deep palace was the cage he had given her, and their nightly embraces were a torment...
It's okay, the back part looks better, the male protagonist is very good at acting
