[Both Leads Are Each Other’s First] [Doting on the Female Lead] [Healing] [Space] [Strong Female Lead] [Secret Identity]
Shen Lian transmigrated into a minor character in a story about warlords vying for supremacy. The good news was that she became the kindest of the crown prince’s maids. The bad news was that the crown prince had been deposed, his limbs were crippled, and he was on the brink of death. Now she was caring for a paralyzed man, and they were both headed into exile.
The System gave her only one way to survive: save him and help him ascend the throne.
But why did His Highness the Crown Prince have depression and separation anxiety, and keep trying to hurt himself? She had no choice but to save this boy, starved of love to the extreme.
To stand against the original male lead, she proclaimed herself a deity descended from heaven, saving the people from disaster. Wherever she went, the people all bowed to her. Later, when the Anshi Army stormed the palace gates, Pei Qingxian, clad in dark armor, took her hand amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and led her step by step up the bloodstained jade steps.
He placed the tiger tally, symbolizing slaughter, and the imperial jade seal, representing honor, together in her palm.
“Lianlian,” he said, his eyes filled with a possessiveness and tenderness she had never seen before, reflecting a realm that stretched for thousands of miles. “This realm is both my thanks and my betrothal gift.”
He bent toward her, his breath scorching, each word branded into her heart. “I willingly bow and swear allegiance to you.”
The female lead is no self-sacrificing saint, and the male lead is a full-on yandere.
