[Alternate world + coercive possession + imprisonment + melodramatic angst + misunderstandings + groveling pursuit]
When a prince’s household falls, the daughter of a disgraced minister is forced to become the bedmate of a deranged heir.
Lou Qingyu, the legitimate daughter of Prince Yi, is forced into a brothel and sent to the heir’s residence on a snowy night to entertain him.
Ling He’an, heir to Prince Zhenbei, is ruthless and merciless. He sees her as nothing but a lowly prostitute.
He doesn’t understand love. He uses her as a tool for revenge, coldly watching her pretend to please him as he humiliates her in every way.
She plays along and endures to stay alive, seeing the second male lead as her light of salvation.
Lou Qingyu: I only want to survive, but beside you, I’d be better off dead.
Ling He’an: You should learn to depend on me and please me. When I get tired of you, then you’ll truly have nowhere to turn.
Love and hatred take root amid the torment. One cruel truth after another is exposed, and everyone she cares about meets a grisly end.
When she is exhausted in body and spirit, with no will to live, he panics.
“What can I do to make you let go of the past?”
“Die.”
A tangled, tragic love affair: they can’t escape each other, and they can’t let go.
Please note: This is a coercive romance, and angst is the main theme. The male lead is not chaste, and he is heartless and amoral. He lusts after her at first sight and is nothing but an animal. The heroine is a very typical beloved-by-everyone type with a kind heart. The entire plot serves to advance the romance, so don’t scrutinize the worldbuilding or the logic of its details. If you enjoy stories that make your heart ache, come on in. Please be gentle with your criticism...
Ugh, can we please make Ling Zhuoqing the male lead?! Ling He'an has humiliated the female lead so much, please don't fall in love with him!
I hope the female lead chooses the second male lead in the end; if she chooses the first male lead, it makes me suspect she has Stockholm syndrome.
This is so good! Author, you absolutely have to make sure the female lead and the second male lead get together, and please update more chapters every day! 🥺 I can't get enough!
It's a tragic love story, and the male and female leads will definitely end up together. The key is watching the male lead's transformation. I'm really looking forward to seeing what the cruel truth will be. It's surprising that the second male lead and the male lead aren't related by blood. I feel like the female lead's older sister won't have a good ending; she's already jealous of her sister and twisted.
It's so good! Am I the only one who wants the male and female leads to end up together? 🙂
Wow, the author is amazing! The scenes between the male lead, the second male lead, and the female lead are all so well-written. Second male lead, you absolutely have to win!
Well written, the plot is engaging, and the characters are vividly portrayed.
The female lead is so pitiful, could you please arrange for a kind person to take care of her?
I'd like to ask about male hygienists?
It looks pretty good.
