I Transmigrated into a Beautiful Bride: Mr. Shen’s Darling Fights Back

[Soul Transmigration + Over-the-Top Devotion + Devoted to Each Other + Personal Growth + Sweet and Angsty] {Lighthearted and Funny}

[Soft, Scheming Beauty Jiang Xiyue & Possessive, Unhinged Powerful Official Shen Xiangwan]

The pipa strings snap in the brothel. When Jiang Xiyue opens her eyes, she has become its most sought-after courtesan. The madam’s nails dig into her chin as she spits, “With a figure like yours, you were born to be abused by the powerful.”

But in the dead of night, she picks the lock on Shen Xiangwan’s window. Lord Shen, whose power holds sway over the court, is dressed in white as pure as snow, but madness lurks in his eyes. One glance is all it takes for him to imprison her in his arms. “You may smile only at me. You may be sweet only with me.”

He kisses the top of her head. A golden cage and an embroidered bed surround her with extravagant affection, but when she looks at someone else, he grips her waist and warns her, “Look at another man again, and I’ll gouge out his eyes.”

She uses his power to advance her own plans step by step, weaving a network of secret contacts through the restaurants into a path to freedom. Then Mu Yizhou, a hostage prince from the Northern Plains, offers her a way out. “Come with me, and I’ll give you back your freedom.”

Desire is a deadly lure.

When Shen Xiangwan discovers her secret plot that night, he traces her trembling face with bloodshot eyes, his smile steeped in blood. “My little bird, have your wings grown strong?”

The golden cage suddenly tightens. Sweet devotion turns into a suffocating prison. He bites her earlobe and whispers, “When I adore you, I can carve out my heart and give it to you. When I hate you... I’ll break your wings so you can never leave me.”

Scheming collides with true affection, and love is locked inside a cage. In this battle where they risk their lives, who will drown first in the abyss called “love”?
