A Husband-Killer? No Problem, the Brooding Tyrant Is Tough and Head Over Heels

[One-on-One, Both Pure + Childhood Friends + Villainous Emperor Rises to Power + No Forgiveness + The Male Lead Is an Obsessive, Touch-Starved Yandere]

To stay alive, Su Qingyuan humbles herself and spends a year winning over the original male lead, Meng Zixu.

But after she’s devoted herself to him all the way to the birthday banquet at the Duke of Ning’s estate, he publicly breaks off their engagement and humiliates her, offering her the position of low-ranking concubine as if doing her a favor.

Su Qingyuan has had enough. She immediately asks the System to switch targets, splashes a cup of scalding tea in his face, tears up their engagement letter, and calls off the marriage with a flourish!

…

At first, Meng Zixu thinks Su Qingyuan is just playing hard to get.

But gradually, he realizes that no matter how much he bullies and pesters her, she won’t even spare him a glance.

Only after he’s disgraced and humiliated does he finally accept reality and beg, “Qingyuan, I was wrong. The position of principal wife in the Duke of Ning’s household will always be yours!”

Just then, the current tyrant, Emperor Jinghe, puts an arm around Su Qingyuan’s waist and sneers coldly. “Meng Zixu, get lost. Don’t pollute the eyes of my future empress.”

…

Su Qingyuan’s new target is Emperor Jinghe, the man who wields power over all under heaven and makes Meng Zixu tremble like a leaf. He’s also Xiao Yan, the sworn enemy she bullied mercilessly as a child.

At first, the System keeps warning her that the tyrant’s danger level is off the charts, and Su Qingyuan thinks this will be hellishly difficult.

But after they reunite, all she has to do is reach out and smooth his hair, and the sinister, cold-blooded emperor comes rubbing against her, ears red.

Su Qingyuan thinks he’s still as easy to handle as he was when they were children, until one stormy night, while she pretends to be asleep, Xiao Yan finally drops his act.

He’d rather cut open his palm than let his baleful aura hurt her. His blood-red eyes stare fixedly at her as he kisses the side of her neck again and again, his gaze dark and feverish with obsession.

“Yuanyuan, if you dare leave me again, I’ll kill everyone under heaven and send them to the grave with you…”
