The Pampered Cousin Wants to Marry, So the Crown Prince Takes Her by Force

(Mutual devotion + possessive pursuit + sweet on the surface, dark underneath + marriage before love + groveling pursuit + taming) With her mother dead young and her heartless scoundrel of a father indifferent to her, Yu Wanruo became the laughingstock of the capital. Fortunately, her aunt, the Empress, took her under her wing and brought her into the palace. All Yu Wanruo wanted was to find a decent family and live a quiet, stable life. But her cousin, the Crown Prince, whom everyone praised as a paragon of grace and integrity, began looking at her in increasingly unsettling ways. Whenever she drew near, she could sense an suffocating possessiveness that left her trembling with fear. Then her aunt arranged a marriage for her. Crown Prince Xie Lin dropped every pretense and cornered her against a wall, his eyes dark as a storm: “Wanwan, if you marry him, how many days do you think he’ll live?” On their wedding night, she trembled with fear, but he kissed the corner of her eye with reverence and murmured hoarsely, “Don’t be afraid. I just… love you too much.” Everyone thought she had fallen into a tiger’s jaws. They never knew that the fiercest beast of all had held her in the palm of his hand and cherished her for a lifetime.
