[Dark, obsessive, and possessive powerful minister × gentle, patient concubine-born daughter who turns dark later]
[Crazy Male Lead | Forceful Possession | Groveling to Win Back His Wife]
Shen Qingyuan, a daughter born to a concubine in the Shen family, thought that marrying the frail prince in place of her legitimate sister would be the end of her story.
Until the day of the wedding, when Xie Wuyuan, the powerful minister of the court, appeared in black robes dusted with frost. He trampled fallen leaves along the long street and stopped her wedding sedan.
His narrow phoenix eyes half closed. His fingertips brushed the curtain, and his voice was as light as a feather, yet carried an undeniable pressure. “Second Miss Shen, I'm here to steal you away. Come with me!”
He forcefully split open the sedan and swept her into his arms. She tumbled into his cool, fragrant embrace.
Her bright red skirt brushed his black brocade robes, like a bewitching flower of blood.
From then on, she became the only bird in his gilded cage, unable to escape or hide!
*
The world called her lowborn, saying she was nothing more than a plaything Xie Wuyuan had taken an interest in on a whim.
He couldn't stand anyone speaking ill of the woman he held dear!
To silence the gossip and protect her peace for the rest of her life, he went to the palace to ask for an imperial decree, intending to marry her with a lavish procession of wedding gifts.
Shen Qingyuan looked at the imperial decree he had presented to her, full of joy.
All she felt was unprecedented absurdity and fear.
She would rather die than be trapped in his splendid cage!
The night before the wedding, she ran away.
When she was forcibly dragged back to the residence on a rainy night, he held her captive in his arms.
His long, elegant fingers gripped her chin. His fingertips slowly stroked and pressed against her crimson lips, while dark obsession and fierce possessiveness churned in his eyes.
He leaned in so close that his breath pressed against her. His voice was low and hoarse, with an inescapable, imprisoning edge. “You want to run? Shen Qingyuan, you'll be mine for the rest of your life! You can't escape, and you can't hide!”
