#She Tries to Force Love, Only to Be Forced Herself

Qin Wan was afflicted with a deadly chill poison, her life hanging by a thread. So she simply took advantage of her imperial brother's favor and acted as she pleased. Everyone gave her a wide berth.

One day, as she drank alone in the plum garden, she spotted the newly crowned third-place scholar treading through the snow. His white robes were untouched by dust, and his cool, ethereal bearing made her want to sketch him.

Better still, he was the man her elder sister, Qin Yu, had set her heart on.

One dose of a secret drug, and the upright, self-possessed scholar sank into a sea of desire.

His eyes were red with longing, his mind clouded. He let her fingertips brush his Adam's apple, let her undo his hairpiece, let her take whatever she wanted.

When the passion faded, he was so humiliated he wanted to die. She, meanwhile, had acquired a taste for him. So she simply made up an excuse and asked her imperial brother to send him to her residence to serve her.

Before court, she clutched his official robes and refused to let go, only releasing him after leaving an ambiguous red mark on his neck.

While he reviewed official documents, she insisted on practicing calligraphy beside him. She smudged ink all over his robes, then insisted it was his fault.

At night, as he “treated” her poison, she clung to his shoulders, her bright red nails slowly caressing the flushed corners of his eyes. “Lord Qi, this medicine of yours... it really packs a punch.”

She knew he hated her.

But she loved seeing his cool eyes turn red, his gaze grow hazy and unfocused.

Only then could her heart, deadened by the poison, feel anything.

It hurt, but she was addicted to it.

Until the day the palace resort went up in flames, the blaze cutting through the night like a blade.

The chill poison made her especially vulnerable to heat. Smoke poured into her lungs like burning coals. As she lay there, wishing for death, she watched him run toward her sister.

She suddenly laughed.

How boring. She didn't want to play anymore.

Qi Zhaoguang was as clear and bright as a cloudless sky, upright and self-restrained. In the eyes of the noblewomen of the capital, he was the most unattainable flower of all.

After an unexpected night of passion with Qin Wan, he became her “antidote.”

There was no wedding ceremony, no title bestowed. He was simply summoned to her residence to serve her.

The Qi family's century-old reputation was reduced to the laughingstock of the entire city overnight.

Of course he hated Qin Wan, hated her to the core.

Yet when she curled up trembling in his arms during a bout of poison, for one fleeting moment he forgot his hatred. He only wanted to tear out his heart and use it to warm her.

He often wondered: if this was a cure, then who was the one who had been poisoned?

Before he could find the answer, a great fire broke out, and Qin Wan died.

His temperament changed completely. Like a madman, he hunted down everyone involved that night, spilling blood before the emperor.

From then on, he wore plain robes and went without a hat, carrying only an old folding fan at his waist. On its surface, in his own hand, was an inscription written while holding hers: “Wretch.”

Half a year later, he was sent on official business and caught sight of a radiant spring scene aboard a pleasure boat on West Lake.

Qin Wan wore a water-red blouse, playing dice with a group of handsome young men. Whenever she lost, she laughed and downed her wine. Her dazzling smile was like a flower that would never wilt.

He nearly crushed the folding fan in his hand. “Qin Wan, your poison is cured. What about me?”

Later, in the red silk curtains, her tender beauty was held captive in his arms, while his long fingers slowly took control of her every whimper.

“Your Highness, is my medicine still as potent as before?”

Note: One-on-one romance, both leads are sexually inexperienced. The male lead never loved the elder sister.

Theme: If you're sick, get treatment. Don't stop taking your medicine.
