The Begonia Caged in a Golden House

[Proud, arrogant heroine vs. obsessive emperor, loyal shadow guard, aloof imperial preceptor] [Possessive love, age gap, one woman and three men]

Everyone in the capital knows that the unruly second daughter of the Han family lucked into becoming empress.

But nobody knows that Her Majesty spends every day plotting how to escape.

On her wedding night, she fled barefoot in her bridal gown, only for Emperor Xiao Shiyi to haul her back to the Phoenix Palace.

If anyone dares provoke her, even if she can’t escape, she’ll make sure everyone knows who rules the imperial harem.

The emperor is possessive and obsessively devoted to her, leaving the harem in her hands to keep her occupied. He locks her up with golden bangles and cages her in the palace, all to fulfill the promise he has waited nine years to keep.

The loyal shadow guard Wuying has protected her in silence for ten years and would betray the entire world for her.

The aloof imperial preceptor Chu Changxi is untouched by worldly concerns, yet breaks his vows for her alone. He teaches her divination and plays the zither for her, hiding a deep affection in his eyes that no one else knows about.

Her feelings have been sealed by a love curse, leaving her with no understanding of love. She rules the harem while plotting to escape the madman.

But every time she flees, he finds her again, a hundred and one times, closing in step by step and never giving an inch.

When the love curse finally breaks and her memories return, she flies into a rage and says, “You’re the one who’s crazy.”
