【Palace intrigue and household drama + marriage before love + modern woman in ancient times + substitute romance + devoted, mutually exclusive love + political scheming + sweet romance + two strong leads joining forces】
At the palace banquet, my fiancé, the emperor’s eldest grandson, and I were both targeted in a plot.
He was drugged with an aphrodisiac, yet his gaze remained cool and restrained.
As his fiancée, for the future of the entire General’s household, and even more for the sake of his deceased first love, she pulled him into a side hall without hesitation. “Your Highness, desperate times call for desperate measures.”
That night, I took the initiative and resolved the crisis.
I thought we were simply using one another, and that after marrying we would treat each other with respect. He would help me secure my family’s influence, and I would help him ascend the throne.
But after that night, the prince who had once been so disciplined and proper seemed like a different person.
By day, he was a refined and self-possessed gentleman. But at night, he became a wolf, holding me captive in his arms and making love to me without end.
From Princess of Lanlin to Crown Princess, and then Empress of Great Zhou, she thought that after helping him reach the throne step by step, he would grow tired of her. But she never imagined that his possessiveness had already seeped into his very bones, and that he would cling to her night after night, demanding more without restraint!
Until the day he learned that she had treated him as a substitute.
He gently stroked her face, his expression dark as he said, “Wanwan, you can’t escape…”
From dutifully treating each other with respect to being endlessly entangled, she thought she was merely his pawn, never knowing that he had long since gone mad for her!
But then one day, her deceased first love returned. The person she could never forget in either of her two lifetimes had come back from the dead…
