Toward the New Palace

[Cool, ambitious, flirtatious princess × deceptively gentle, ruthless wolf king of the battlefield]

Age and size difference | A mature woman trains a pure-hearted young wolfdog, only to be pounced on in the end

In the final years of the Great Qi dynasty, famine left corpses everywhere and rebellions sprang up across the land.

To the starving refugees, Princess Qi Nanzhao was a living bodhisattva.

But criminals branded her a traitor who aided the enemy, forcing her into marriage with a khan over sixty years old!

On the way to the marriage alliance, she watched Tuoba Xiao slaughter countless enemies amid a storm of arrows, and decided to use him for revenge.

He was fierce and valiant, but knew nothing about love. And she just happened to need a blade.

So she drew him in and told him how she felt.

The night before their wedding, the young wolf king said to her, "You can only be mine. Come with me!"

Qi Nanzhao stared into his green eyes and said, each word deliberate, "I will only be the khan's woman!"

The young wolf king pressed his forehead against her shoulder, gritting his teeth. "How can you be so heartless? Why do you have to force me?"

The young wolf king tried to get back at her by acting like a couple with a princess from a great tribe. But Qi Nanzhao showed no sign of regret. Instead, she flirted with his elder brother.

So he went mad...

Later, the new khan of Beilan, the death god of the battlefield whose name struck terror into enemy armies, lay on the bed, fingers gripping her slender waist. "Wife, if you want me to take Chuzhou, this little effort won't be enough."

Hero's POV #

When Tuoba Xiao first saw Qi Nanzhao, he thought she was a delicate porcelain doll, one touch away from breaking.

He never expected her to be so resilient. She devised plans at every turn, overcame one obstacle after another, and won people's hearts.

But this woman was far too bold. Even lifting the sedan curtain a little was an obvious tease, and her pale skin left him dazed.

Worse, she didn't just flirt with him. She even kept a pretty boy as her lover.

He hated how weak he was, always wanting to get close to her and going to her at the slightest beckoning.

Back and forth, the whole journey wearing him down... Damn it, he couldn't take it anymore. What did ethics and morality matter? He wanted her, and only her...

No one could take her from him!!!!!!!

If Qi Nanzhao wanted the world, then he would tear down the heavens and place it in her hands.
