Forceful Possession | Love and Hate | True and Fake Heiresses | Winning Back His Wife | Captive Lover | A Love Born of Hatred
Ji Nian Tan is the illegitimate daughter of Grand Tutor He. She comes to the capital with her mother to seek out her relatives, but danger dogs their journey. Her mother dies a tragic death, and Ji Nian Tan narrowly escapes. By chance, she saves a gravely wounded, blind man.
When she returns to the capital, she discovers that someone else has taken her place as the heiress, and someone else has claimed the life-saving favor she did. Her path to revenge seems hopelessly out of reach.
With nowhere else to turn, the Crown Prince becomes her only lifeline. Little does she know he is another bottomless abyss.
By day, she watches the Crown Prince share tender, loving moments with her elder sister, who stole her act of kindness.
By night, he takes her by force, making her a nameless, unacknowledged servant kept out of sight.
Hurt and forced to endure, she lays her plans one step at a time, hoping to use the Crown Prince's influence to clear her obstacles and return to the He household.
*
She has a suitable fiancé, and he has his Crown Princess.
They each marry someone else on the same day, and two bridal sedan chairs come to a halt in the capital.
One carries her elder sister, dressed in a phoenix crown and embroidered robes, into the Eastern Palace.
The other carries her, full of hope, to the General's residence.
But the Crown Prince stops at nothing to seize her and bring her into the Eastern Palace.
"Tan'er, I told you: in life, you belong to me, and in death, you'll be my ghost."
In her panic, she secretly hides a dagger and presses it to his chest, hoping to avenge her mother.
The arrogant, imperious Crown Prince imprisons her in the Eastern Palace. She escapes again and again, and every time he catches her and brings her back.
His breath burns against her ear. "You want to kill me?"
She replies coldly, "Yes."
The corner of his mouth curls into a smile, and he chuckles. "To die beneath a peony is a death worth having. If I die by your hand, I will gladly accept it."
(Note: A push-and-pull romance, both sweet and angsty. This is not a power fantasy, so please don't read if that's not your thing.)
