The Obsessive Emperor's Ruthless Pursuit of a Farm Girl

[Unhinged + Emperor steals his subject’s wife + Forced love + Selfish, unconventional heroine]

Liu Ashu, an orphan who had lost both her parents, went into the mountains to gather herbs one day and found a handsome young man unconscious.

Kindhearted Ashu brought him home and cared for him night and day. At last, he pulled through.

But instead of thanking her, the young man left behind a jade pendant and walked away.

Ashu was heartbroken for quite some time.

Fortunately, her luck didn’t stay bad forever. Her biological father came looking for her and took her to a grand mansion, where she could live in comfort. He even found her a handsome husband.

With money and leisure, and no worries about food or clothing, she soon put those unpleasant experiences behind her.

But on her wedding day, the young man she thought she’d never see again appeared once more, now the emperor. He declared that if she dared to marry, he would slaughter everyone in the household.

“Liu Ashu, how dare you marry someone else?”

“Ashu, in this life, the next, and for all eternity, you can belong to me alone.”

When Xie Beichen first met Liu Ashu, he mistook her for an assassin and immediately clamped a hand around her throat.

But her tears were scorching hot, and for some reason, they pierced his heart. He spared her, a frail little life.

He also began to consider taking her as a concubine. Gradually, he came to believe she should be his wife, and his alone.

He wanted to stay by her side forever, but circumstances forced him to leave on matters concerning the fate of the empire. He left her a letter asking her to wait for him, promising to return within ten days and marry her in grand style.

But before ten days had passed, the woman he thought of day and night had disappeared.

When they met again, she was about to marry someone else.

But she was his! His!
