[A mad emperor pursues his wife | The ultimate possessive push and pull | Two unhinged lovers]
He would crush every last bit of his imperial pride, abandon his realm and power, and gladly drink my poison every day for the rest of his life.
But when he slaughtered my entire family and cut open my chest, he never imagined he would one day be this wretched.
The day the city fell, my father and brothers all died before the palace gates.
I was the beloved Princess Anning. Overnight, I became a lone survivor of a fallen kingdom.
The new emperor, Pei Yancheng, came crashing through the land and used the lives of everyone in the Prince of Pingnan’s household as leverage, forcing me to submit.
I had no choice.
In public, I was meek and patient, careful with every step, pretending to humor him and give him what he wanted.
In private, I sharpened my claws, secretly plotted my moves, and swallowed all my hatred.
The childhood sweethearts’ hearts broke, and they parted in bitterness, never to see each other again.
Pei Yancheng thought he had the most obedient prey in the world in his grasp.
He had no idea
That the woman willing to lie low at his side had, amid endless humiliation,
forged herself into a cold blade, waiting for the right moment to pierce the imperial throne.
One day, the mad emperor who had once imprisoned her in the inner palace
would set aside every last bit of pride, kneel before her, and beg her to spare his life.
The heroine had no capital at first, but soon she started to turn around and slap the faces of other people in the palace.
I like this kind of two-way pulling, especially the one that Emperor Kuang criticizes. I hope it will be updated soon.
