Stealing Spring: Forced into the Palace by a Paranoid Emperor

[Coercive Possession] [Both Pure] [Classic Melodrama] [Palace and Household Intrigue] [The Pursuit Begins After the Breakup] [Happy Ending]

During a heavy rainstorm, Crown Prince Mu Yan met the widowed Yu Wanchun again.

Yu Wanchun had once saved his life, then vanished without a trace, only to appear in the dreams he never wanted to wake from.

Unable to suppress his feelings, and with emotions he could not explain, he forcibly took her into his harem.

Amid the treacherous intrigues of the inner palace, he grew to love her more and more: her fragility, her resilience, and, even more, her courage and resolve.

But he also hated her: for deceiving him, for having someone else in her heart, for leaving him time and again, and, most of all, for being a bright moon hanging high in the sky that shone on everyone but him.

Yu Wanchun once had three wishes.

First, to clear her parents’ names after their deaths;

second, to pass down and develop her family’s medical knowledge;

third, to travel the world with him and see each other every day, morning and night.

[Content warning: This is not a female-led power fantasy or a sweet, satisfying story. It contains angst and coercive possession. If you can’t accept these, proceed with caution. Readers with extreme preferences for male or female characters should also proceed with caution. The male lead is a crown prince at the beginning and will become emperor. The female lead is blind at the beginning, but will regain her sight. Both leads are pure, but readers with strict standards should proceed with caution. The female lead is widowed; her late husband was frail and impotent. The male lead has a wife, concubines, and children in name only. The children are not his, and he has no intimate relations with the female characters. Related plot details will appear in the story, so this is disclosed in advance. Writing is hard, and everyone has different tastes. Please don’t make things difficult for one another. If you can’t keep reading, please find another good story.]
