I Got the Bad Ending with the Black Lotus

Li Luo was imprisoned in the Ying Su Tree for hundreds of years, yet her appearance remained that of a ten-year-old child.

When she was released again, her older brother Li Yuan had become a mad emperor.

To obtain supreme power, Li Yuan forced her to become his empress.

Li Luo had no idea what her older brother, once a gentle and refined man who had doted on her, had gone through over the years, or why he had become such a twisted madman.

She tried every way she could to escape, but accidentally fell into the hands of Mo Yan, her enemy from a rival kingdom.

Rumor had it that Lord Mo Yan was cold and ruthless, with countless beauties in his harem. Li Luo thought that looking like a child would keep her safe, until...

Late at night, a maid knelt and asked him to choose a consort. He waved her away without a word.

Deeply puzzled, Li Luo asked Mo Yan curiously, “Why aren’t you choosing a consort tonight?”

Mo Yan answered seriously, “Now that I have you, I won’t sleep with them anymore.”

Li Luo couldn’t help edging away. “Can I not sleep with you?”

Mo Yan said with certainty, “No. Pets have to sleep with their owners. That’s how they bond.”

Li Luo rolled her eyes. “That’s a lie.”

Mo Yan replied solemnly, “But I believe it!”

From then on, she became the treasure this lord held in the palm of his hand, and he never let her out of his sight.
