Tempting the Mad Tyrant: He Grips My Waist and Begs Me Not to Run

[Both leads reborn + 1v1, each other's first + sweet romance + political intrigue]

[Outwardly sweet, inwardly dark and aloof noblewoman VS obsessive, lowly emperor]

“Were you like this beneath the stable hand, too?”

In her previous life, he drove her to the brink, subjecting her to the utmost humiliation and the utmost madness.

Reborn, Shen Qingci swears she'll never again be the madman's pampered captive.

Her scumbag fiancé and her white-lotus half-sister corner her in public? Shen Qingci slaps him right back. “You blind fool, it was I, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, who didn't want you!”

This time, she'll protect her family, punish the scumbag, tear off the white lotus's mask, and carefully bring the enemies of her past life to their knees!

But who could have guessed that Lu Chenzhou, the deranged new emperor who once took her by force, would stick to her like a leech in this life?

In everyone else's eyes, he's a tyrannical crown prince. In front of her, he stands with red-rimmed eyes.

He places a dagger in her hand and presses it to his own heart. “Stop running. Stab me once, get it out of your system, and then marry me, okay?”

Shen Qingci sneers. What trick is this lunatic playing now?

Only later does she understand:

In their previous life, he lost to his own pride. In this one, he's learned to be humble.

He's still just as crazy, but now she's the sole object of his madness.

[Bonus Scene]

Lu Chenzhou: “You can hit me or yell at me, just don't ignore me.”

Shen Qingci: “Get lost.”

Lu Chenzhou obediently rolls away, then comes back: “I'm back. Anything else you'd like me to do?”
