[Completely Fictional] [Angsty Romance] [After Tormenting the Hero, the Heroine Gets Her Turn] [Mostly Tormenting the Hero] [Amateur Practice Piece] [Really Bad]
The first time Shen Zhaoning saw A Man, he was being pinned to the ground and beaten mercilessly. His face was pressed against the dirt, his golden eyes fixed on her. She took him for nothing but a lowly stable hand, ordered them to drag him farther away before continuing the beating, then rode off.
The next time she saw A Man, he had become Prince Mingyuan of the Northern Dynasty. His face was still smeared with blood, but this time he hurled a spear in front of her, pinning a man to the wall. His golden eyes were cold and indifferent. One glance from him left Shen Zhaoning frozen to the bone.
Countless times, Shen Zhaoning tried to run.
Then she discovered she was carrying the Southern Dynasty emperor's child.
Her country had fallen, her family had been exiled, and a vast web of misery closed in around her until she could hardly breathe.
But A Man said, “You will come with me.”
He said, “The child you carry is Prince Mingyuan's.”
He asked, “Will you stay in the Northern Dynasty for me?”
Shen Zhaoning didn't know.
She only knew that, faced with Prince Mingyuan's coercion, the Northern Dynasty emperor's desire for her, and the Southern Dynasty prince growing inside her, every choice felt like stepping into an abyss.
When fate came calling, what would she do?
