    Transmigrated into the body of the tyrant's top bodyguard, you planned to pull off one last heist and then feign death to escape, only to discover that the tyrant had already fallen deeply in love with you! You faked your death and fled, but he searched the world like a madman, capturing you and then showering you with both affection and torment, transforming his "ruthlessness" into possessiveness. The extreme tug-of-war between the bodyguard and the tyrant, the mutual probing that hides a fatal attraction, the power struggles wrapped in a passionate love, a mix of exhilarating and heart-wrenching moments, full of tension. Young people simply can't resist the tyrant's extreme pampering, staying up all night to watch this "fleeing lovers" entangled in fate! Highly emotional scene 1: You faked your death and escaped but were captured. The tyrant, his eyes red, grabbed your neck and roared, "Who gave you permission to die? Your life can only be mine!" But the moment you shed tears, he released you and turned to smash the palace in his rage. 2. The enemy uses you as leverage, and the tyrant, for the sake of the greater good, temporarily compromises, watching helplessly as you are kidnapped. Yet, in the dead of night, he breaks into the enemy camp alone, wounded himself, and shields you behind him, whispering, "I've come to get you." 3. You shield him from a fatal blow, and before you lose consciousness, you hear him trembling as he says, "Don't leave me." When you wake, you find him cold and indifferent, but in reality, he has secretly searched the world for the most precious medicines for you, bearing his worries and anguish alone. Ultimate Pampering Point 1: You casually mentioned a favorite pastry, and he had the imperial kitchen supply it daily, even learning to make it himself, clumsily feeding it to you, his eyes filled with undisguised tenderness. 2. When court officials impeach you for "spreading heresy and misleading the emperor," the tyrant directly overturns the imperial desk, angrily declaring, "You have no right to question my people!" He immediately grants you special privileges, and no one dares to speak out again. 3. Since you are afraid of the dark, he abandoned the rule of emperors living alone and guarded outside your bedchamber every night. Even if he was dealing with memorials late into the night, he would quietly go in to see you and tuck you in.
