[Forced possession + the chase to win her back + devoted couple + happy ending] [Mad, ruthless minister vs. fallen heiress] Everyone knew that Zhang Tiance, the Vice Censor-in-Chief, was the young emperor’s favorite and held the power of life and death. He stood second only to the emperor. Though handsome and born into a distinguished family, making him the subject of countless young noblewomen’s romantic dreams in the capital, he never went near women. He devoted himself to the people, a noble gentleman and a jewel who brought peace to the world.
One night, Xie Zhining, the Xie family’s legitimate daughter, living under an assumed name, knelt in tears at his feet, begging for a chance to survive.
He put down his vermilion brush and spoke in a cool voice. “I can save you.”
Xie Zhining thought she had met a god, not realizing she had become a lamb in his snare. Night after night, he tormented her, making her fall into hell and rise to heaven, die and be reborn again and again.
Beneath his handsome, refined exterior lurked the madness of a beast, along with the ruthless methods and ambition of a powerful minister that no outsider knew about.
She decided to flee. She wanted to avenge her family, not become the plaything of her enemy’s son.
She faked her death and escaped, but the refined man went mad and abandoned everything in the capital to pursue her in Jiangnan, begging her to return.
He knelt humbly as tears poured down his face, his voice hoarse. “Ning’er, I can’t live without you.”
“I can’t live without you. I save this world, and only you can save me.”
