She Runs, He Chases! My Archrival Wants to Make Me His Consort

[Scheming Emperor × Proud Assassin] Born in Lanning and trained in the finest martial arts, she is sent on a mission to Jintan to assassinate its ruler, Yuan Zheng.

The assassination fails, but Yuan Zheng does not punish her. Instead, he imposes harsh conditions and orders her to enter the palace and serve him, severing all ties with Lanning once and for all.

He uses her homeland’s safety to control her and cut off her path back, yet at the same time he showers her with care and grants her every honor and favor.

But how is she supposed to find her place in a foreign land? When the two countries go to war, where can she call home?

The male lead is not a good person. He cares about no one but the female lead. If you meet someone like him in real life, stay away.
