The Empress Lost Her Memory, and the Emperor Held Her Close and Spoiled Her

[Sweet, gentle little bunny girl vs. obsessive, unhinged tyrant] [Devoted couple, sweet romance + obsessive love-brain + forced love + mutual salvation + happy ending] Shen Wanning has lost her memory. Tyrant Qi Yan puts on an innocent face and lies to her, saying she is his little wife and that she once tried to run away with another man, which is why she fell and hurt her head. Shen Wanning believes him. She obediently plays the part of his darling, stepping into the gilded cage Qi Yan has woven for her and letting him toy with her… But fate has other plans. On the day of her empress coronation, her memories return, and she runs out of the palace without looking back. Qi Yan can no longer keep up the act. He returns to his former dark and ruthless tyrant self, captures her, and locks her in his bedchamber. His eyes red, he kisses her: “Wanning, stop running. Stay away from those men outside, or I won’t be able to control myself. I’ll kill every last one of them!” Qi Yan reveals the tattoo on his chest. “My darling, kick me right here. You left this mark on me, so I belong to you now. Don’t even think about leaving me!” Reader’s guide: 1. This is not a strong-female-lead story or a story focused on a female heroine! One couple, both devoted to each other! An obsessive, dark, possessive male lead; forced love, captive romance, canary-in-a-gilded-cage fiction… a whole mix of tropes! 2. The male lead is genuinely unhinged and a truly tyrannical ruler. He is completely pure in both body and heart, starved for love, and the female lead is his only sun. He loves only her, with a mad, all-consuming love! Don’t judge him by ordinary standards! Readers with strict moral expectations may want to skip this! 3. The female lead is a soft, sweet crybaby type. She can be a bit of a spoiled handful at times, loves to cry and act cute, and is a little crazy… but deep down, she is resilient and yearns for freedom! 4. The setting is entirely fictional. Please don’t look for historical parallels!
