I Provoked a Mad Tyrant, and the Little Gu Witch Was Kissed Until She Cried

Sang Ruanyuan, the youngest Saintess of Miaojiang, sneaks out of the mountains in the dead of night with her bag of gu poison, hoping to bring back her senior sister, who has fallen head over heels for a man.

But Ruanyuan bears Miaojiang's King Gu, and she is born with a deadly taboo: if she touches a man with the aura of a true dragon, the imperial energy will awaken the King Gu, which will attack her heart day after day. To survive, she must stay by that man's side and use his breath and warmth to suppress the pain.

Ruanyuan sneaks into the imperial retreat to find someone, but slips and falls straight into a mist-shrouded bathing pool. In her panic, she can think of nothing but clinging tightly to the man in the water.

She has no idea that the man she's holding is Chu Yuan, the young emperor of Great Ye, who seized the throne in a river of blood. Ruthless and sinister, he is feared by the entire court.

The man looks down at the drenched young woman in his arms, one hand gripping her slender waist. His voice is low and dangerous:

“Did you come to me on purpose to assassinate me, or to seduce your emperor?”

Later, the ministers discover in horror that the cold-blooded, merciless tyrant who never hesitates to kill now keeps a delicate little gu sorceress in his arms every single day.

In the Golden Throne Hall, the emperor turns through blood-red memorials with one hand while holding her inside his imperial robe with the other. He lowers his head to kiss the corner of her reddened eye and gently murmurs:

“Ruanyuan, does it still hurt today? I'll give you all my dragon energy.”
