[The Theatrical Princess Who Loves Making a Scene VS The Two-Faced, Pretentious Prince]
After her fiancé died in battle, Yan Wu was forced to marry into the state of Liang.
The emperor wanted her to become a seductive consort who would bring ruin to the country. Her father wanted her to use Liang's power to help him usurp the throne.
Yan Wu threw herself into the arms of Zhou Jiyuan, the enemy who had killed her husband. "If you will only save me, my lord, I'll do anything."
Zhou Jiyuan crossed his legs and sneered. "When I was a hostage in Yanjing, your father and brothers used to ride me like a horse."
Yan Wu shyly climbed onto his lap. "Is that so?"
For the first time, the dreaded God of Death let a woman with ulterior motives do as she pleased with him.
From then on, Zhou Jiyuan doted on Yan Wu and obeyed her every word.
Someone reported, "She approached you to avenge her former fiancé, Xu Luochuan."
Zhou Jiyuan replied calmly, "Are you trying to drive a wedge between us because you want to steal her away?"
To eliminate his rival, Zhou Jiyuan immediately had rumors spread that the man was into men.

When Zhou Jiyuan was eight, Xu Luochuan took him to Yanjing as a hostage, where he endured endless torment and humiliation.
He barely escaped back to his homeland, only to be adopted as an heir by a commoner, losing everything for good.
A year later, he entered court as the top martial arts graduate. He preached benevolence and righteousness in public, but was two-faced behind closed doors.
The moment he saw Yan Wu, he knew she had come to kill him. Yet, as if possessed, he became her willing servant.
He knew her gentleness was an act and her love a performance. Even when they were tangled together beneath the covers, with a dagger hidden under her pillow, he couldn't bear to expose her, much less hurt her in the slightest.
Under her tears, tantrums, and threats to hang herself, he kept handing over his power to her: letting her take part in government, command troops, and revise the laws.
It's good to keep her busy. That way, she won't have time for all those other men buzzing around her.
