Historical Romance / Political Intrigue / Imprisonment / Forced Love / Conquest / Transmigration
Xu Mumian transmigrates to ancient times and binds herself to a System. Her mission is to win over the world-weary prince Xiao Xuanjin and stop him from turning evil. Approaching him as the chancellor's daughter, she melts his frozen heart with warmth and sincerity. Just as feelings begin to blossom between them, the fabric of time and space collapses, and she is forcibly sent back to the modern world, without even a chance to say goodbye.
Ten years later, the System activates again: the mission has failed, and Xiao Xuanjin has fallen completely into darkness. He ascends the throne over a sea of blood and bones, becoming violent, sinister, and obsessively unhinged. He hates her for leaving without a word, yet searches for her whereabouts like a madman. When Xu Mumian transmigrates back, she no longer faces the aloof, proud young man she once knew, but a mad emperor who both loves and hates her.
"Xu Mumian, you dare come back?" He grips her chin, madness and anguish surging in his eyes. "This time, don't even think about escaping."
She must clear his corruption score and teach him to love again, instead of possess and destroy.
- Navigate his murderous tests;
- Survive his pathological possessiveness;
- Find the love buried beneath his shattered hatred...
"Xiao Xuanjin, it was never me you hated."
"You hated yourself for being unable to keep me here all those years ago."
