Late spring in the ninth year of Yanqing, rain poured down like a curtain.
Noble Consort Shan went to pay her respects to the emperor, but was turned away at the door. Distraught, she made her way back to her chambers, only to run into Prince Yan entering the palace beneath the rain-soaked covered walkway.
The moment the noble consort saw him, she recoiled in alarm, but Prince Yan remained perfectly composed, advancing toward her one step at a time.
He adjusted the golden hairpin in her coiffure and smiled. "I've been back in the capital for some time, and I hear you've been unhappy these past few years. If that's so, why not come back to me?"
The emperor was frail and bedridden, while Prince Yan was young, formidable, and in command of the military.
Furious at his brazen words, the noble consort dared not openly rebuke him. Her voice trembling, she said, "You are His Majesty's nephew, and I am his consort. Are you trying to disrespect His Majesty, Prince Yan?"
The young, handsome prince gently brushed her brow. "When you turned your back on me without hesitation and chose the emperor, Auntie, did you ever imagine this day would come?"

Pei Chenzhao sees Shan Ci as a frail little bird and traps her in a net. But when Shan Ci casts him into an endless abyss, Pei Chenzhao finally understands that all her former tenderness and meekness were lies. She was obedient and docile, yet held a knife behind her back, plotting to escape the net he wove and drive that knife into his heart with her own hands.
On the night she decided to betray Pei Chenzhao, Shan Ci thought that it would be best if he were simply dead.
Otherwise, when that mad dog came back, he would tear her apart with his claws and teeth.
A story of coercive possession. The central theme is a rejection of Stockholm syndrome. Don't ask about the male lead: he's the villain. He can't get what he wants, and he's crazed, vicious, and ruthless, not like an ordinary person. He only gets more crazed and vicious later on, and stays that way to the end. The male lead spends much of the novel suffering heartbreak, and the heroine never loves him. This is not a sweet romance, so please think carefully before reading if you can't accept this premise.
Coming soon: Ballad of Frost and Snow
In the depths of winter, during a heavy snowfall, Shen Youshuang finds a man in the mountains, covered in blood and close to death.
She assumes he's a bandit and doesn't want to get involved. But when she sees how desperately he pleads for help, her heart softens. She saves him, hires him as a guard, and has him treated and cared for at the Shen family estate in the mountains.
Half a year later, once his wounds have healed, the guard leaves on the pretext of running an errand and never returns. The Shen family estate is one guard short, while a thousand miles away in the capital, Prince Regent Xie Shuchen has returned from the dead.
Xie Shuchen returns to the capital to purge his political opponents, and blood runs through the streets. The Shen family, to which Shen Youshuang belongs, had once been among the traitors who opposed the prince regent.
An imperial decree destroys the Shen family. Her parents and brothers all die, and only Shen Youshuang escapes with her life. But the once-respected young lady falls into the lowly status of a slave and is sent to the capital.
After many twists and turns, she bends her pride in order to survive, becoming the mistress of the Earl of Rong'an.
-
A major scandal soon rocks the capital.
To claim Shen, the Earl of Rong'an's mistress, Prince Regent Xie Shuchen beats the earl until his head is bleeding, then forcibly takes Shen away.
That night, beneath warm silk curtains, the prince regent hooks a finger beneath the beauty's delicate white chin. "Come with me."
Forced to look him in the eyes, the beauty's long black hair spills down to her slender waist like a flowing spring.
Shen Youshuang gazes at him through tear-filled eyes, her expression vicious enough to tear him apart. "If I'd known, I would have been better off saving a dog that day."
Theme: Pursuing women's independence and autonomy.
On the one hand, I hate Pei Chenzhao very much and wish him to die, but on the other hand, I hope he can come to save Shanci as soon as possible.
The male protagonist is good for nothing except being clean. The last male protagonist who was good for nothing except being clean was Xu Mhuaigou.
Laughing so hard, new chastity belt hahaha
People say that if you are poor, you will be alone. It is true that the female protagonist does not have a God's perspective. I wonder if the male protagonist will not kill her. Since she doesn't know where does she have the confidence to meddle in her own business? Are you going to become a saint if you can't even survive? How can this not be regarded as both worthy and established?
It's good for the heroine to take care of herself. It's better not to worry about others. If you meddle in other people's business, the hero will take advantage of it. It's so annoying.
The heroine doesn't owe her anything, so don't worry about it, it's annoying to death.
Wow, this pace is so fast. I finally waited until I returned to Beijing.
This book may be written more slowly because it consumes so much of my emotions. Every time I write, I have to accumulate a lot of negative energy, and I have no results. It makes me doubt myself. I don't care when I'm serializing it, and I may write slower later on. You can read it as you like, and you can keep track of it.
It's very nice and the writing is good [crying] Why don't you write more?
I really like this book. I hope the author can continue writing??
