Flowers Bloom, Startling Spring

[Possessive! Goes mad with jealousy! Forced love + groveling redemption + yandere + sweet romance + devoted to each other]

[Black-hearted sweet-talking chief minister husband VS dazzling, beloved princess]

(Fragile and delicate before his wife, but kills and plots without batting an eye behind her back)

She was the most breathtaking splash of color hanging over his desolate fate.

For her, the once-unambitious young man plotted at every turn until he held power over the entire court.

Everyone said that Xie Ruoshui, the chief minister, was ruthless and cruel,

but none knew that he spent his whole life plotting against the world just to scheme for her.

His twisted path of political intrigue was nothing more than a betrothal gift laid at her feet.

He schemed to force her into marriage and separate her from her childhood sweetheart.

“Zhaozhao, I will never let you go! In this life, you can belong to me alone!”

He didn’t care about waking or living, he only wanted to hold her tight.

*

When she pressed a dagger to his heart to protect her childhood sweetheart,

he smiled and took her hand, guiding the blade into his chest:

“Love me, or kill me.”

Love foretold his fate: he belonged to her alone.

Love declared his crime: he was mad for her.

“Since you’ve awakened my spring, you’ll have to repay me for the rest of your life!”
