[Transmigrate into a Book + Nurturing + Palace Intrigue + Yandere + Younger Male Lead + Strong Female Lead]
Su Qing, bound to the Wise Ruler System, raises the neglected Ninth Prince, Jiang Ran, from childhood in the Cold Palace. Back then, Jiang Ran is sweet and obedient, trailing after her like a little shadow every day. Just as the gentle, benevolent ruler she has raised comes of age, Su Qing fakes her death on the day of his coronation and slips away. She buys a small house in Jiangnan, ready to spend the rest of her life in peace.
Three years later
Armored cavalry tramples through the gates of her Jiangnan home. The boy who once teared up at the sight of an ant being crushed has become an emperor who acts with ruthless decisiveness. He advances on her step by step, his towering figure blocking out all the light until he backs her into a corner with nowhere left to retreat. His cool fingers lift her chin. Obsession, brewed from three years of longing, churns in his eyes. His voice carries a smile, yet sends a chill down her spine:
Didn't Auntie say she liked Ranran best when he was obedient?
As long as Auntie stays, Ranran will be a benevolent ruler to this realm and all its people. This time, Auntie, don't leave me behind again.
The System blares warnings: the wise ruler's corruption level has reached 100%. He is uncontrollable. But Su Qing knows the key to taming this mad wolf was never in the System. It has always been in her hands.
