[Palace and Household Intrigue] [Historical Romance] [Mutual Firsts] [Devastatingly Handsome] [Utterly Wicked] [Sweet and Sensual]
Empress Wen Li is hunted down and has no choice but to seek the protection of Regent Zhao Yixiao.
So she risks her life and enters his manor.
At first, to stay alive and search the manor for clues about her brother, Wen Li deliberately flirts with Zhao Yixiao.
Once she gets what she wants,
she avoids him and abandons him!
She has no intention of becoming anyone’s wife in this life, or managing a household full of wives and concubines for anyone.
She is determined to leave.
But how could she ever control the “mad beast” who holds the world in his palm?
The more she runs, the more relentlessly he pursues her!
Their flirtatious game eventually spirals out of control.
Wen Li says, “I am the empress, appointed by His Majesty, and your imperial sister-in-law! Zhao Yixiao, if you keep acting out of line, you’ll be defying your superior!”
He seems to hear the funniest joke in the world and suddenly slams her against the dressing table.
“Imperial sister-in-law? Why didn’t you say that when you gave me your embroidered bellyband as a sword tassel, or climbed into my arms?”
“If you’re going to bait me, then do it properly. What do you mean by reeling the line in after just two days?”
“Just a little teasing? Ha! You don’t stop unless I say so!”
In an instant, he presses against her, pinning her legs with his strong knees and forcing her to crane her neck like a swan waiting for the butcher.
Now he’s growing ever bolder, even barging into her bathroom without a hint of shame.
To him, the doors of Chu Yunting’s residence might as well not exist.
That bastard seems to have hooks growing out of him,
turning the tables and hooking her instead.
He’s drawing her deeper and deeper into a desire she can no longer control…
It's a very interesting book, I read it all in one sitting [Sending my heart to you]
