(Complete. Original title: Caged Sparrow) (A new novel, Caged Bliss, is now underway. Visit the author's page to check it out!)
Yongjia and Shen Shao's forbidden romance began with a single medicine, a rare and precious remedy that would decide whether her mother would live or die.
On a stormy night, in the emperor's bedchamber, the dignified eldest princess knelt beside his bed.
The emperor on the bed looked at the woman who had returned, his expression teasing and amused. In a tone that suggested he had expected this, he said, "Sister, have you made up your mind?"
**
At first, Shen Shao's feelings toward his "imperial elder sister," Yongjia, were three parts obsession and seven parts humiliation.
He hated her and her mother so much that he was willing to go to extra lengths to take revenge. He had planned to have his fun once, then marry her off to some barbarian land as a political bride... But he never expected to become addicted to her charms. Though he knew she was poison, he refused to let go...
Notes: Younger man, scheming, beastly emperor (younger brother) x outwardly gentle, inwardly strong, peerlessly beautiful princess
This book is also titled Caged Sparrow. He forges a cage from the imperial palace and keeps her imprisoned like a bird for the rest of her life. In imprisoning her, he is also seeking her heart.
He enjoys tormenting his wife for a while, then has to chase her through hell.
The leads are not related by blood, and they both know it! An older woman-younger man romance (with only a small age gap).
The male lead's harem is just for show. Both leads are virgins.
Coming next: Caged Bliss (Visit the author's page to add it to your collection.)
In the seventh year of Changle, Xiao Yu, military governor of Youzhou, brought an end to the decades-long warlord separatism in the country and led his troops to the capital.
In the palace's Taiji Hall, the civil and military officials stood in attendance as the slender eldest princess, holding the hand of the emperor, who was not yet five, bowed to Xiao Yu and appointed him regent.
Rumor had it that after entering the palace, the regent went in and out of the eldest princess's bedchamber every night, without the slightest restraint.
The regent was cruel and ruthless, with countless deaths to his name. The officials feared him, and none dared express their anger or speak out.
An acquaintance approached to sound him out, asking whether Xiao Yu intended to marry the eldest princess.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu recalled the glimpse of her lotus-colored skirt and gave a scornful smile. "I merely think the women at the entertainment house aren't as interesting as Her Highness."
**
When Xiao Yu was young, the emperor grew wary of his father and brothers. As a hostage, Xiao Yu was imprisoned deep in the palace. During those years without daylight, he fell in love with someone he should never have loved.
But his love ran too deep. For her, he was willing to give up his revenge and become her servant, protecting her for the rest of her life.
He never imagined that she would later turn on him, shattering his heart and nearly taking his life.
Ten years after they parted, the girl who once huddled in his arms to shelter from the rain had become the regent princess of the realm.
Before returning to the capital, Xiao Yu had already made his plans. He would take the power she valued most and confine her within the imperial palace. Since she would not accept his true feelings, he would make her his slave instead, fawning on him and kneeling to please him. When he tired of her, he would kill her to vent his hatred.
Xiao Yu had everything planned out, until one day he suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten something again...
Note: Princess x regent king, coercive love, melodrama, both leads are virgins. This is an important tag.
Theme: Grow through adversity, and encourage the pursuit of freedom and independence
So speechless This kind of thing can still...
Throughout the text, I have been worried that the love-minded male protagonist has ruined the country.
Although it is a bloody novel, I felt that the author's writing was good so I kept reading it and I liked it. After a hundred chapters, I started to understand. I am not as extreme as others. I think it is possible to abuse the male protagonist, and I also think that the female protagonist can fall in love with the male protagonist. As long as the plot is arranged reasonably, I think the male protagonist has done a lot of wrong things, but it is not irreparable. From his perspective, he loves the female protagonist very much. , But the method was wrong. After all, when I read a romance novel, I just imagined the male and female protagonists living happily together. However, after more than a hundred chapters, the male protagonist has not changed, and the female protagonist has not become emotional. They are still in a stalemate. I really couldn't bear it anymore, so I skipped reading. This ending really disappointed me. I felt that it was too far-fetched to use "rebirth" to round it off, and the female protagonist relied on that dream to fall in love with the male protagonist. Damn, it's really sad. After all, I really like what I wrote before.
Relying on a dream is something I didn't expect...
There is a breath that is held in my heart and I can't let it out... It feels like there is no reward for evil. The crematorium is a very enjoyable place to visit, but the front part is too long-winded, which caused me to have a heart attack.
It's pretty, very appetizing, and refreshing!
The crematorium is not pleasant. You can take it by force but it is not recommended to enter.
That's it. . . Forgiven. . . ?
2 Brushes, really sadomasochism
Yongjia, who had had a dream, had forgotten the dead Lu Yi. Yongjia could be with Shen Shao in the dream, but it was time to remember it when she woke up from the dream. How much Yongjia was bullied before, I see how much she hates iron for not becoming steel now. I was really happy that the author didn't use the amnesia plot in the ending. I've seen enough of the silly X-story about You Even If You Abuse Me A Thousand Times, I'll Treat You Like My First Love. No matter how outrageous the man is, as long as he apologizes and regrets, the woman will forgive her and fall into the man's arms. Such a heroine will only make me feel really cheap. I'm very happy that the ending of this article didn't have that twist. After all, no one wants to follow a novel with someone who has different views. In the extra story, Shen He did a lot for Yongjia in his dream. I quite hoped that they could have sex in the dream. The two people in the dream were a perfect match, but after waking up from the dream, and what Shen He had done, Shen He still didn't deserve to be forgiven. If Yongjia could really just let go of everything and be together, it would only make me look down on her, and the image of the gentle, perseverant and rational eldest princess in my eyes would collapse. It's not that I'm stubborn and want to see BE, but Shen? He did more harm to Yongjia than he did, and he couldn't even achieve the most basic reciprocity. It's so big that before this life is over, I have to open a new account and live in my dream for the rest of my life. Even if nothing else is said, if Lu Yi is really not killed by Shen He, at least this misunderstanding must be solved. If Yongjia can be with Shen He across Lu Yi's life, I really can't accept it. The ending of the extra chapter is already halfway written. I originally thought the author was thinking of an ending between the two of them, but now I think it will probably be an open ending (I guess Shen? Is not dead yet). No matter what, at least the author didn't forcefully whitewash the male protagonist, but found ways to compensate for this, which is to my liking.
