Everyone in Dayong knows that Xiao Wang, the regent, is a jade-faced Shura, cold-blooded and ruthless, not close to women, and a living king of hell who should not be approached by strangers.
Shen Tinglan became an abandoned son of the family and was forcibly pushed into the Regent's Palace, becoming his princess in name only.
The newlywed Hongzhu shed tears, and he pinched her chin with his cold fingertips, speaking in a sinister and cold tone: "The Shen family sent you here to die, or to serve me?"
She was trembling all over, hoping for a chance of survival, but he suppressed all her escape options with a low smile: "This king, there is only a way to death, and a way to be in my arms."
He imprisoned her in the palace, pampered her to the point of paranoia, and possessed her to the point of madness, treating her as a delicate caged bird in the palm of his hand.
It wasn't until the imperial doctor knelt down to report that she was pregnant with the descendant of a dragon that the Shura King of Hell, who had neither sorrow nor joy, panicked for the first time and was extremely afraid.
When the Beirong invaded, rumors spread between the government and the public that she was called a witch who had brought disaster to the country. He was furious and bloodbathed the court, spending everything he had to protect her mother and son.
But her heart was full of scars, and she had long since given up. After a final note, she quietly disappeared with the child in her belly.
When they met again when it was snowing all over the sky, the regent who looked down upon the world and never bowed his head knelt in front of her door the whole night.
With red eyes, he humbly kissed her fingertips, his voice trembled, completely losing the cruelty of the past:
"Lan'er, don't abandon me, don't abandon our child..."
"Whatever you want, I will give you everything in the world. I just ask you to come back."
Everyone lamented that the regent was crazy. Only he knew that his madness, his weakness, and all his obsessions were only for her.
