Di Qing made only one mistake in her life: falling in love with Ling Zhao.
It wasn't that she loved the wrong person. She loved too fiercely... fiercely enough to drag herself down from the clouds into the mud, fiercely enough to crush her dignity as a great general and lay it at Ling Zhao's feet.
Ling Zhao said she looked beautiful when she cried, so she obediently shed tears. Ling Zhao said she was bored, so she did everything she could to keep things fresh. Ling Zhao said she wanted to take her as a concubine... so she obediently signed her name on the marriage contract.
But she shouldn't have been like this.
She was the great general of the Yunze Kingdom, the faith of tens of thousands of soldiers. But in front of Ling Zhao, she was nothing. She was merely a tamed, tail-wagging, begging... plaything.
The saddest part was that she was willing.
/
Ling Zhao had a thousand ways to make Di Qing fall apart, and she chose the gentlest one... treating Di Qing well. She treated her so well that Di Qing mistook it for love, so well that Di Qing was willing to give her everything, as long as Ling Zhao liked it.
Ling Zhao never said she loved her. She only said, "Be good," and, "You're mine." In the gentlest voice, she said the cruelest things. With the most adoring gaze, she slowly took Di Qing apart, rebuilt her, and shaped her into someone who belonged to Ling Zhao alone.
She thought she'd won. She thought Di Qing would always be there, waiting for her to look back. Until one day, Di Qing said, "Let's end this here."
She stood outside that tightly shut door, feeling panic for the first time.

Ling Zhao is a monster at first, then suffers through a long, painful pursuit to win Di Qing back~ Di Qing stays clear-eyed from beginning to end. She knows everything; she just can't bear to let go, QVQ.
If you like it, babies, feel free to add it to your collection! I'll start the next book as soon as this one is finished!
Theme: Cherish what's beautiful
I bully the puppy as soon as we meet 🧋 I don't know, I thought I was poisoning an old wound
The copywriting is so touching, I'm saving it first 😳
The "little gourd" caught the author a big bug~
It's even worse when you enter the little fox's den. It seems that all the bones that will be eaten later will be chewed to pieces.
