He's controlling, forbidding her from seeing her beloved again. He's so obsessive that he only has eyes for her. He doesn't understand why, despite his sycophantic behavior, she doesn't love him. What's so great about her beloved? Now she's penniless and powerless, while he is rich and powerful, why can't he get her love? He just wants her love, is that all? His heart is broken. When will his constant jealousy of someone with a legitimate relationship end? He thought marriage would bind her heart, but it only bound her body to his side.

It turned out that the wife he had forcibly taken never truly belonged to him. He let her go, but why did she come back?

    New novel! Top-tier level of yandere-style forced possession! Forced love! Multiple male leads vying for power in a chaotic battlefield, a wife-chasing hell, 1v2! Full of detailed descriptions, incredibly thrilling! Two male ghosts with different attributes, they're simply too delicious! Originally titled "The Beauty of the Southern Dynasties," yes, it's about the most absurd and vibrant period in history, the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties. The obsessive, patient, and devoted second male lead [Yan Huaizhou] vs. The new female lead (formerly a cannon fodder female supporting character), the noblewoman of a marquis's mansion who defies fate [Yun Jiaojiao] vs. Xiao Heci, a descendant of the Southern Liang royal family, a refined, gentle, sickly, and obsessive nobleman. The mad emperor Yan Huaizhou of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, who should have been a devoted second male lead to the original female lead Shen Wan, instead defied fate, absurdly imprisoning and forcibly possessing Yun Jiaojiao for two lifetimes. Yun Jiaojiao was imprisoned by Yan Huaizhou in Ganlu Temple for several months, forced to spend the rest of her life with only the ancient Buddhist lamp and Buddha. But she was unwilling to accept it… Why?! So she burned down temples, smashed Buddha statues, destroyed the scripture library, interrupted a debate among high monks, and sold relics… The new female lead is absolutely insane and exciting! She was replaced as Empress by Shen Wan and forced to play the role of the deposed Crown Prince's wife, Shen Wan, mourning and widowing for the deposed Crown Prince. Screw you! Mourning my ass! She decisively escaped! She faked her death and fled. Everyone was hiding her death, paving the way for her fabricated story, especially the original female lead, Shen Wan, who created a near-perfect facade, even finding a substitute to replace Yun Jiaojiao, who was trapped in the Eastern Palace to guard the coffin. Only Yan Huaizhou was kept in the dark, the truth hidden from everyone. Help! The moment the insane emperor learned the truth and the truth was revealed was so exciting and thrilling! So crazy, so sizzling, so incredibly powerful! Xiao Heci, a scion of a noble family, appears on the surface to be a dissolute playboy, a free spirit, a gentle and refined immortal, with unparalleled beauty and a radiant, ethereal charm. But beneath this facade lies an absolutely cruel, extreme, and sinisterly lucid madman, who especially enjoys stealing women right in front of the sickly and delicate Emperor Yan Huaizhou! This cutthroat competition between heroes was absolutely thrilling! Ahhhhhh~

    He, a pure and wicked man, imprisoned her. She left with a 500 million yuan breakup fee. Two people clearly in love were separated by a superficial family feud, forced to hate each other to the bone without realizing their love. She repeatedly asked him if he truly loved her. Perhaps she would have been willing to disregard worldly opinions and let go of her hatred. They became fuel for the feud between their families; the more sensible they were, the less anyone cared. He forced her into a business marriage, and she had to divorce him immediately. A sea of ​​hatred and love, a bloodbath and deep-seated hatred, a family feud and love, yet forced into a business marriage—marriage first, love later—they had a child but no feelings. She was imprisoned by him, unable to go anywhere. He thought her words in the middle of the night were just dreams. She pretended to measure his neck with a rope, but when he found out, she could only say she was measuring a necklace and asked if he believed her. He then went berserk and tied her hands with a rope to make her realize that he and she were enemies. She and the child cried with tears in their eyes, and his heart ached for them, but he showed no pity. She packed her bags to escape, but he found out. He didn't know that she felt so bad about leaving. He clearly didn't like her, so why was he like this? His father pressured him to divorce his wife, but he refused. Her mother urged her to divorce him, and she seemed to have fallen in love with him. However, the deep-seated hatred stemming from their family feud persisted. Her relatives came to her rescue with weapons, but he was monitoring his enemies and family outside. She watched helplessly as her loved ones were injured. Unable to accept this reality, she attempted suicide by running into a wall while he wasn't looking, wanting to die with them. Without her family, she had lost all will to live. He was moved and asked the doctor to save her. The housekeeper, seeing his heartbreaking tears, wondered if he had fallen in love with her. He didn't know he had fallen in love but refused to admit it. However, she had amnesia and even forgave him for wanting to kill her. He began to understand his own heart and felt a sense of kinship with her. He treated her like a beloved person, making her happy. He never fed her before, but started feeding her even his son. He knew she was already in his heart. He realized what loving someone was like. He never knew that loving someone could make him give everything. But when she asked him if he loved her, he still stubbornly refused to admit it. He remembered his grandfather's words: "A man without love is carefree." She asked him again if he loved her, and he unconsciously and gently admitted it in his sleep. Until she regained her memory, their marriage was blocked by his father. He didn't understand why it was his parents who wanted him to marry her, and it was also his parents who wanted them to divorce. What exactly did he and she do wrong? Why ignore their love when they became victims of generations of feuds? He once thought their marriage was secure. His father offered him 50 million to leave her, but he resolutely refused. However, when he heard her demand 500 million for a breakup, his heart sank. It turned out she didn't love him; their love was nothing but a pipe dream. He thought their love could overcome everything, including generations of hatred, but she only cared about money. He was deeply hurt. For the first time, she returned to her parents' home openly. He chased after her for love, not even considering the danger to his life. He begged her to come home, but she refused. Her family thanked him, leaving her confused. Why were they thanking him when they were clearly enemies? Then his father arrived. Were the two feuding families about to fight again? Or were they setting aside their prejudices to prevent the next generation from facing all the family feuds? Could they still be lovers?
