Coming soon: Please add my next novel, Nights with the Tyrant, to your reading list QAQ

1.

Everyone knew that young Lord Rong was breathtakingly handsome. Unfortunately, he was eccentric and arrogant, with a violent temper. They said he could kill without blinking, let alone show any interest in women.

Until one day, Rong Zhaoci declared that he had his eye on the Shen family's country girl.

Everyone waited to see Shen Duanyu make a fool of herself, but all they saw was the young lord pampering her beyond belief, entrusting her with everything he had: the stars, the moon, even his flesh and soul.

Later, the young lord was recognized by the emperor and became the crown prince, while the Shen family's eldest daughter became the crown princess. Once again, everyone was left utterly astonished.

Later still, one became the supreme ruler, and the other the empress.

2.

That day, Shen Duanyu was kneeling in the Shen family ancestral hall when Rong Zhaoci climbed over the wall to see her. "What good does it do to kneel to them?"

Shen Duanyu replied, "But I belong to the Shen family."

Rong Zhaoci smiled with wild confidence. "You could belong to me, Rong Zhaoci, too. The Shen family may make you suffer, but I won't let you suffer even the slightest grievance. Anyone who bullies you is bullying me."

3.

A long time later, Shen Duanyu remembered the rumors she had once heard about Rong Zhaoci: that his face alone could drive people out of their minds. How could there be such a thing in the world?

Rong Zhaoci smiled and put an arm around her waist. "Why not? You're just like me, Yu'er."

The Paranoid Tyrant Is Actually a Hopeless Romantic

Once, Linchun was a princess of the highest rank, and she treated Xie Chu with extreme cruelty. Beating, scolding, and humiliating him were commonplace.

Then everything changed overnight. Linchun became a prisoner, and Xie Chu rose to power.

Linchun was escorted to meet the new emperor. Inside the bright palace, she could not move, and her eyes were blindfolded. She heard footsteps drawing nearer, then stopping in front of her.

She thought she was going to die and tensed up.

After a long while, all she felt was a cautious embrace and an extremely restrained kiss on her cheek.

Linchun heard her own voice, full of disbelief. "Are you humiliating me?"

Xie Chu's voice tightened. "No, Your Highness. I've long wanted to profane you like this."

"I don't want to humiliate you. I only want to torment you." Xie Chu untied the cloth covering her eyes.

Linchun looked at him. "Torment me however you like. This princess isn't afraid."

Xie Chu crouched in front of her and put her shoes on for her. "Fine. Just you wait."

He had already endured the cruelest torment in the world: loving her. Watching her eyes sparkle, seeing her sweet and charming, watching her laugh and talk with others, every day was torture.

Now, Xie Chu only wanted to pay her back.

Xie Chu wanted Linchun to love him.

*It's actually a sweet romance, with a 1v1 relationship in both body and heart.

*The male lead is a clueless, hopeless romantic, a humble simp x the truly proud, domineering, breathtakingly beautiful heroine

*The male lead is emotionally submissive

Theme: Setbacks aren't something to fear. Work hard to overcome them, and a beautiful life awaits ahead.
