[Male Rivals Competing for Her + Multiple Male Love Interests + Winning Her Back + Love Triangle Drama + Only Ever Loved Each Other + Taming Him + Political Scheming] [Clearheaded, Intelligent Heroine x Younger, Unhinged Emperor]

Huo Lingwan never imagined that her life would be sealed by the words “political marriage.” Sent from Nanxia to Dachu as a pawn, she gazed at Dachu’s towering palace walls with just one thought: escape.

She would stop at nothing and use every possible trick to get away. But the young emperor cornered her against the palace wall, obsession surging in his eyes. “Why don’t you like Dachu?”

Huo Lingwan lied offhandedly: “The winters in Dachu are too cold.”

Later, she seized her chance to flee the palace and raced all the way back to Nanxia, thinking she had finally broken free of her cage.

But she had barely enjoyed a few days in her homeland before the sound of hoofbeats shattered her hopes. The new emperor of Dachu came after her in person, clad in black armor, madness blazing in his eyes. “Wanwan, you shouldn’t have drawn me in, and you certainly shouldn’t have dreamed of escaping.”

She thought returning to her homeland would bring her peace, unaware that the battlefield of tangled affections had already been laid out for her.

Wei Yu had always known Huo Lingwan didn’t love him. Everything she said to him was a lie, yet he was content to believe it.

Until one day, when Huo Lingwan no longer needed his protection, he went mad and bound her to the bed with golden chains. Tears reddened the corners of his eyes as he pointed a dagger at himself. “Wanwan, please come kiss me.”
