After She Took the Crown Prince by Force

Two years ago, Crown Prince Fu Wei traveled to Jiangnan to investigate a major court case. On his way through the dangerous Tian Nan Mountain pass, he was ambushed by bandits and taken captive. The handsome, aloof Crown Prince fell into the bandits' hands and was held for three whole months. Only when reinforcements arrived did they set fire to Li Stronghold and rescue him. It was said that when Crown Prince Fu Wei was rescued, the long-term restraints on his wrists and ankles had left dark red marks, and his legs were too weak to walk. His guards had to carry him down the mountain. After returning to the capital, Crown Prince Fu Wei shut his doors to visitors and spent a year and a half recuperating before appearing in public again. No one dared mention the incident in his presence, and no one dared ask what kind of torment the Crown Prince had endured during those three months he was missing. * Xie Ning has been home for a month. Once a bandit who lived by the blade, Xie Ning has transformed into Xie Yunying, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, who went missing thirteen years ago. Life as a proper young lady of a distinguished family is all flower-viewing and banquets. Aside from being a little dull, it's not so bad. That is, until Xie Ning attends a palace banquet one day and meets Crown Prince Fu Wei, who is rumored to have no interest in women. Xie Ning lets her gaze roam over that breathtakingly handsome face, inch by inch, with amused interest. Two years apart have only made him more beautiful, his manner even colder and more distant, as if daring anyone to come near. He is all the more to her taste. She still remembers how this aloof, beautiful Crown Prince, untouchable to all, looked when she had him at her mercy between the sheets, with nowhere to run, forced to lose himself. He was a peerless beauty, vivid and intoxicating. The dull capital has suddenly become interesting. Theme: A twisty, melodramatic fairy-tale romance
