    "Bending Over" | Dragon Scales Branded Begonia, Willing to Fall into the Mortal World's Tribulations. As the mist drifted over the blood-soaked skirt of the young girl, Shen Xici was unaware of the earth-shattering secret hidden beneath the tattered black robe she held in her palm. The dragon scales gleamed with a cold, eerie blue light under the moonlight. She gently wiped away the blood with a silk handkerchief, oblivious to the dying dragon opening its golden, vertical pupils, its claws only half an inch from her throat. "Does it hurt?" The girl blew on the medicine to warm it before bringing it to her lips, the red mole at the corner of her eye scorching the millennia-old ice, causing it to crack inch by inch. The dragon claws, meant to rip out her heart, wrapped around the sash around her waist. Cang Yu gazed at the warm jade he held in his arms, a blood-tinged laugh escaping his throat—this mortal dared to touch his dragon horns with her fingertips. When the first snow of the capital blanketed the Xiao family courtyard, the once-dominant Dragon Lord had already succumbed. As Shen Xici combed her hair, a cool kiss always lingered on the back of her neck. Amidst the rising steam of the hot spring, a dragon's tail twisted around her slender white ankles, and even the begonia sachet she embroidered had a scale embedded in it to suppress it. Until the nuptial wine on her birthday was spilled and shattered on the ground, the girl laughed as she threw her betrothal jade pendant into the deep pool: "Cang Yu, I don't want you anymore." From then on, a mad figure appeared in the Nine Heavens Cloud Palace. The begonia pattern on her heart could not be erased by the Scale-Removing Platform, and the Reincarnation Mirror revealed the truth of the cold pool from that year. When Cang Yu, holding his ten thousand years of cultivation, knelt outside the vermilion gates of the Xiao family mansion, watching his little bride in her phoenix coronet and wedding gown walk towards someone else, he finally understood the cruelest tribulation Heaven had given him—it was love binding his dragon marrow, and he was willing to break his pride to beg her... To have mercy on him once more. ★Highlights of Sweetness: 1.

Entering the palace was like entering a deep sea, but she was keenly aware that wealth, honor, and the emperor's favor all had to be earned through her own efforts. She meticulously planned her way up from the rank of a lowly concubine to the position of Imperial Concubine. Amidst the ever-changing power struggles of the harem, she alone remained a favored consort. At their first meeting, Xiao Yu remarked casually, "I didn't expect her to be so beautiful." Everyone said that the emperor was heartless, and his favor was merely a fleeting infatuation. But this fleeting infatuation became his lifelong exclusive affection. Ning Shuyan was alluring and charming, gentle as water. In Xiao Yu's eyes, she was pure, kind, and deeply devoted to him. Little did he know that every step she took was meticulously calculated, and every smile she gave was captivating. Years later, Xiao Yu was still captivated by her tenderness, his love growing stronger with each passing day. Meanwhile, she had already firmly grasped the emperor's heart.
