She Marries the Top Scholar, and the Mad Emperor Sees Red and Steals Her Away

【Male substitute + possessive pursuit + the emperor takes his minister’s wife + powerful man bows to love.

Only then did Xiao Jin learn that Su Wanying had always treated him as a substitute for the man she loved! Within the hibiscus-curtained bedchamber, Xiao Jin trapped Su Wanying on the imperial bed, losing control as he kissed every inch of her skin. “Did he kiss you like this too?” “Did he love you the way I do...” With tears in her eyes, Su Wanying slapped him across the face. The emperor, who stood above everyone else, kissed her through his tears. “Wanying, please, love me, all right...”
