He shattered my pride, then begged me to take him back with red-rimmed eyes after I “died”
Power couple | Mutual taming | Groveling to win back his husband
Xiao Xuan | Bottom, a regent with power over the entire court
Cold and sinister on the surface, obsessive and unhinged beneath it. Only after driving the man he loved into rebellion did he realize that an empire without Xie Heng was nothing but a gilded cage.
Xie Heng | Top, a young general who rose to fame early
Wild and proud as a raging fire. When his wings were broken and he was imprisoned in bed, he sneered, “If Your Highness wants me to submit, you might as well just take my life.”
On the night of the general's triumphant return, he kicked open the bedchamber door and bit down on the regent's Adam's apple, breathing hotly: “I've come to claim you.”
In a rain-soaked Jiangnan alley, the regent clutched his hem, his voice breaking: “Teach me... how to love you.”
Two powerful men bowed their heads for each other, cutting a bloody path between the dragon throne and the battlefield before embracing.
“If he wants the empire, I'll place it in his hands. If he wants freedom, I'll carve out my heart. But if he wants both the empire and freedom...”
“Then I'll split the throne for firewood and trample the Hall of the Heavenly Court to give him a clear sky that stretches for ten thousand miles.”
I've read the author's second book, it's great! I personally like this style, the rhythm is pretty good, and the interaction between the two is also very interesting. I love watching the tug-of-war 😋👍🏻
