Reunion after years apart · revenge and captivity · sweet-and-angsty push and pull · lovers turned enemies · a love born of hatred · forced romance · seductive, fallen heiress × sharp-tongued but softhearted crown prince

Bai Jiuge was the Grand Tutor's pampered legitimate daughter, haughty and determined to marry into the imperial family and become the crown princess.

Chu Mo, the son of a local garrison commander, was dazzlingly talented and renowned throughout the capital, yet he became the greatest obstacle to the Third Prince's rise to the throne.

To clear the way for the Third Prince, she schemed at every turn, flirting with Chu Mo and drawing him in.

Who could have guessed that when she fell into danger, he would risk his life to save her? Yet she answered with words sharp enough to cut him to the bone: “We're worlds apart. I was only playing with you, my lord. Who do you think you are?”

Overnight, the Chu family was destroyed, leaving them dead and dispossessed.

Three years later, Grand Tutor Bai fell from power, and she went from a pampered noblewoman to a condemned slave.

When they met again, the man had become Xuan Zichu, the crown prince who held the court in his power.

He held a folding fan and tilted her chin with it, smiling coldly. “Now you're my prisoner. I have all the time in the world to play with you. How would you like to play?”

The pawn she had once cast aside was now the heir to the throne, someone she wasn't even worthy of looking up to.

The prince she'd gone to such lengths to curry favor with was now a subject who bowed at his feet.

She tried to escape again and again, and every time he caught her. He pressed her down at the edge of the bed, his obsession fierce and ruthless. “Run again, and I'll keep you imprisoned on this bed day and night. For the rest of your life, you'll be my captive beneath me.”

Everyone said the crown prince was cold and heartless, yet he spoiled this condemned slave until she became his only weakness.

He laid down three rules:

“I'll clear your status as a slave.”

“I'll avenge your family.”

“But your body and heart must belong to me.”
