The Stunning Swan Command: The General Keeps Wanting to Join Me Behind the Curtains

Chu Linyuan was a living King of Hell who had clawed his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Shen Yao was a pampered flower of wealth, raised amid the misty rains of Jiangnan.

Shen Yao traveled north with her father on their way back to the capital. On the boat, Chu Linyuan was drugged and delirious. He pulled her close, his scorching breath burning her collarbone red. “Don’t move... Shen Yao.”

One night of chaos.

Back in the capital, she was still the apple of her father’s eye, with suitors lining up at her door. But Chu Linyuan, the feared killer with whom she had shared that reckless night, had also returned to the capital to take up a post.

At the victory banquet, he saw her laughing and chatting with someone across the crowd. The wine cup in his hand shattered at once. He cut off every match arranged for her and drove away every admirer around her. Even seeing her smile a little too warmly at the physician who had been her childhood friend was enough to make him crush his wine cup in public.

Then, at a royal villa, he cornered her behind a rockery, gripped her chin, and kissed her fiercely until her lips began to bleed. His voice was hoarse:

“Shen Yao, you’ll never escape me in this life.”

She called him a madman, but late at night he climbed in through her window, carrying the smell of blood. He buried his face in the crook of her neck and pleaded hoarsely, again and again:

“Yaoyao, don’t smile at them... Look at me.”

“Shen Yao, marry me.”

With one night of losing control, he wagered on winning her heart for life.

She used her gentleness as a blade and finally tamed this lone wolf.
