(A Mad, Cold, Selfish Emperor X An Aloof, Serene Beauty X A Wicked, Arrogant Chancellor of an Enemy State)
In a nutshell: A story of steel tempered a thousand times melting into a soft, pliant heart~
Jiang Gongdao said, “Xiao Jiu, when it comes to imperial power, staying alive is what matters. Hiding is your best bet.”
But even after she hid, they still found her.
So Jiang Jiu worked diligently, becoming the perfect blade for Shen Yanqing to seize power and claim the throne.
Once it was done, she felt utterly relieved. In a soft, gentle voice, she said, “Now that things have turned out as you wished, please let me return home.”
But he set down his vermilion brush, his foxlike eyes gleaming with calculation as he gave her a faint smile.
“I can make you my subject, and you will obey. I can make you my concubine, and that is what you will be.”
With red silk covering her eyes, she was bound and carried in a sedan chair to the Crown Prince's residence.
There, she became his favorite beauty.
-
After half a year of careful planning, she fled again, leaving behind a shattered painted screen.
“Lady Jiu, are you leaving?”
“Shen Qingzhi, I've prepared plenty of gifts for you.”
“Just wait until I catch you and bring you back.”
-
She escaped the capital of the Sheng Dynasty, but the freedom she had hoped for never came.
Instead... she met the wicked, arrogant Chancellor of the Shi Dynasty.
“Lady Jiu, you're later than I expected.”
Then, with a teasing gesture, he pulled the hairpin from her bun, letting her glossy black hair spill down like a waterfall.
Xiao Chenyu breathed in her fragrance, then sank his teeth into her fair neck.
-
“If I were a lucky bird and you a fish, I would shed all my feathers and plunge into the sea to find you.”
Shen Qingzhi.
