Name: The Palace Maid’s Seduction: The Tyrant Falls Deeper with Every Step
Author: Mu Yunyi

Synopsis

[Beautiful, scheming little palace maid VS cold, ruthless, unhinged emperor]

[Palace intrigue, not both each other’s first + powerful man, weaker woman + domineering possession + calculating, willful heroine + obsessive emperor + exclusive devotion]

Yan Shu was beautiful, but she was only a lowly palace maid. Her one ambition was to become the emperor’s woman.

At a palace banquet, she saw the favored consort drug the emperor. She chose to keep quiet and go along with it.

When the drug took effect, she helped the emperor back to Zichen Hall. After a night of passion, the imperial bed was stained with blood, and Murong Che took her by force.

Getting what she wanted was only the beginning.

She knew that what came too easily would never be cherished.

So she turned that night into a mystery that lingered in the emperor’s mind.

Murong Che began to watch her, for she looked so much like the woman who had spent that night with him.

He investigated and scrutinized her, but her calm demeanor left him unable to be sure. Yan Shu waited patiently in hiding, biding her time.

The empress’s suspicions became an unforeseen part of her plan when she arranged a marriage for Yan Shu.

Yan Shu agreed on the surface, but secretly began making plans. She would make Murong Che recognize her, one step at a time!

On the eve of her wedding, Murong Che’s silence made her think her plan had failed. She put on her wedding dress and climbed into the bridal sedan. Resigned to her fate? That was just the final gamble she had set in motion!

On her wedding night, the imperial guards stormed the residence. Murong Che charged into the bridal chamber and carried her off the wedding bed!

Back at Zichen Hall, Yan Shu looked frightened and innocent, but she was laughing coldly inside.

Murong Che tore her wedding dress to shreds and took her by force once again.

At last, the hunter had closed the trap.

Yan Shu continued to play the fragile, helpless role, carefully laying her plans and luring him in at every turn. The emperor fell deeper and deeper, enjoying every moment of his surrender…
