Forced Captivity: The Domineering Yandere Mistook Me for Someone Else

The first 40 chapters put the heroine through the wringer; after that, it's the hero's turn. If that's not your thing, don't read!

Matriarchal world + yandere hero + confinement/imprisonment + high-ranking hero, low-ranking heroine

In the Huayue Dynasty, women held power and men were subordinate, under a harsh legal code.

Liu Yunqing was cautious and meek, yet the debts of sin incurred by her scheming cousin brought disaster down upon her.

Overnight, she fell from a declining noble family into his hands as a prisoner. He dragged her off to a farm and humiliated her in every way, all for the savage satisfaction he craved.

“Liu Yunqing, your family owes me this!” His eyes bloodshot, he trapped her in a tiny space.

Unable to defend herself, she swallowed her tears of blood and simply gazed at him. “Su Jin, you'll regret this.”

The day the truth came to light was the day overwhelming fear would seize him.

To escape the harsh punishment prescribed by the matriarchal laws, he knelt before her and begged for a marriage contract to serve as his shield.

Looking at his trembling hands, she suddenly smiled. “All right. As you wish.”

From then on, the noble circles gained a married couple who were together in name only. She was his “get-out-of-death-free card,” while he was her lawfully wedded husband, a constant reminder of her humiliation.

But the world was turned upside down, and the noble families' good days came to an end.

The court pursued sweeping reforms, but went too far, pushing its own dynasty into the abyss.

Amid the flames of war and smoke, no one expected that the one to emerge from the shattered realm would be Liu Yunqing, once humiliated and scorned!
