This novel is complete

In her previous life, Xi Ruoyun was delicate, weak, and sickly. She spent her wedding night alone, and her death was perfectly clear-cut.

Reborn, she focuses on treating her illness and building up her health, while also keeping her distance from the Marquis's Manor.

Who would have thought that after fleeing for six years, she still couldn't escape this ill-fated bond? When she returns to stay at the Marquis's Manor, the moody Second Young Master glares at her ominously every day, as if he wants to swallow her whole.

Chu Lingyue: Don't be afraid. With me here, no one will dare hurt (come near) you.

Xi Ruoyun trembles: You're the one I'm most afraid of...

Chu Lingyue: Oh?

Xi Ruoyun: Please spare my life! The rest... the rest can be discussed, can't it?

P.S. The heroine is a sickly beauty, but the hero is the sickly beauty with an obsessive streak. He is genuinely mentally ill, with overwhelming possessiveness.

The setting is very loose, and there's no logic or historical research. As long as it's sweet, that's all that matters.

Pre-release novel "Save Me" synopsis:

The powerful eunuch Yan Wenhan was in control for six years, during which three emperors died.

A disgraced prince dragged back from his place of exile became the unlucky fourth. With him into the palace came an empress who practiced Buddhism without shaving her head and refused to return to secular life.

The empress was indeed beautiful, but she was like a bodhisattva carved from jade, untouched by the mortal world. Anyone who connected her with worldly affairs seemed to be committing sacrilege.

The ghost who had crawled out of hell to claim lives had once wanted nothing more than to see the empire collapse and the mountains and rivers laid waste. Yet a blasphemous desire toward the gods and Buddhas began to grow in secret.

After the emperor's death, Yusheng became the empress dowager and tried to fake her death and leave the palace. She was just one step away from freedom when someone stopped her at the side gate. In the newcomer's shadowy eyes burned a frenzied desire, yet he lifted a lock of her hair with extraordinary gentleness. "Your Majesty is compassionate and merciful. Would you be willing to stay and save me?"

Qi Yusheng: "What if I say I won't?"

Yan Wenhan: "Then I'll have this vast realm buried with Your Majesty."

Everyone said that the empress dowager had become the eunuch's partner to save the young emperor's life, truly enduring humiliation for the greater good.

When those words reached Yusheng, she thought that rather than saying she had offered herself to save the evil ghost, it would be more accurate to say that the evil ghost had dragged her into the mortal world. This world of earthly delights was wonderful, except...

She pushed at the handprint of Yan, who had buried his face against her neck, but to no avail.

It was just a little exhausting.
