The Once-Betrayed Hostage Prince Was Taken by Force

[Next Book: Reborn Two Years After Being Kidnapped]. The blurb is at the end!

As a royal princess, Zhao Ning had been pampered and indulged since childhood, showered with endless affection. She was spoiled to the core.

One day, while out with her aunt, she happened upon a hostage prince from an enemy kingdom arguing with someone.

The young man had icy, gloomy eyes and an untamable, rebellious air about him.

On a whim, the two of them made him the subject of a wager: for three months, they would play a game called "Taming."

Three months later, it was the princess's coming-of-age ceremony.

Standing outside the hall, the young man heard a girl's bright laughter from within. "Auntie, I won this game."

"He's so stupid. I only tossed a rock into the river and tricked him into thinking it was a hairpin, and he really went to retrieve it."

"He doesn't talk or smile, and he doesn't know how to sweet-talk anyone. How could he compare to my cousin?"

Hearing this, the young man crushed the blood-jade bracelet in his hand. It had been the birthday gift he planned to give her.

Later, when their pact came to an end, the hostage prince returned to his country.

Zhao Ning felt a little reluctant to see him go, but within three days, she had already put Xie Huai out of her mind and happily begun preparing for her wedding.

Two years later, the wedding day arrived as planned.

But on the wedding night, disaster struck the palace. The princes launched a rebellion, and everyone fled in panic.

No one noticed that the princess, who should have been getting married, had vanished from the imperial city.

At the same time, in a remote country estate...

Zhao Ning's wrists were bound. She glared furiously at the man before her. "Xie Huai, you can't, you can't treat me like this!"

"Why can't I?"

The man looked down at her, supporting her delicate porcelain-white face in his palm as he gently kissed away her tears.

"Princess, have you forgotten? I'm the one in control of this game now."

Reader's Guide:

1. Spoiled princess x unhinged scheming green tea.

2. At first, the heroine tramples on the hero's sincere feelings. After being abandoned, the hero completely turns dark. The heroine is selfish and has little sense of morality, but there's nothing to be done about it: the hero is into that sort of thing.

3. "Taming" refers more to emotional manipulation. Basically, it's a story about a heroine playing with the hero's feelings, only to be completely devoured by him.

Preview:

In the twenty-seventh year of Tianyuan, a neighboring country invaded, laying waste to the land and claiming Jiangbei Commandery as its territory. That was how Fu Yi was taken captive.

The man doted on her and indulged her, but wouldn't let her return home.

Inside the hall, Fu Yi reached out and grasped the man's sleeve with her slender, pale fingers. The corners of her eyes were red, and her voice was hoarse as she pleaded, "I want to go home. Will you come with me?"

The man looked at her pitiful face reflected in his eyes. He gripped her chin, forcing her to look at him.

"No."

When she awoke from a long dream, Fu Yi had returned to the day she found the badly injured man. Looking at the villain who repaid her kindness with treachery, she angrily threw him into the woodshed.

Remembering how he had taken her by force in her previous life, Fu Yi swore to repay him a hundredfold, even a thousandfold, for every humiliation she had suffered.

From then on, people in the residence would often see the man in a pitiful state.

He would wear a collar around his neck and wag his tail, begging for her affection.

He would kneel on the ground and pick up the pastries she had left behind.

He would bare his upper body and wash her beautiful horse in the pouring rain.

But gradually, Fu Yi realized that the man didn't feel humiliated at all. He was actually enjoying it, and even went further, brazenly barging into her bedchamber. Just as in her previous life, he would pin her beneath him and ask again and again whether she liked what he did.

In the man's eyes...

No one knew that amid the hubbub of the crowded marketplace that day, a young woman rode past on horseback, beautiful and radiant, with vermilion lips.

From that moment on, she was both the moonlight in his heart and the red cinnabar mark he could never forget.
