Seeing Through the Tyrant

Blurb One:

Jiang Huaiyue grew up alongside her imperial cousin, the emperor. He was gentle and approachable, a benevolent ruler and a good older brother.

She never imagined that, after an unexpected trip outside the palace, she would learn of a side of her cousin she had never known...

Fu Liangyu was cruel by nature, and his laws were unusually harsh. Splash water outside and he'd have your hand cut off. Break curfew and he'd have you beheaded. Gather in a group of three and he'd have your tongues cut out...

Was this her cousin's true face?!

How terrifying!

Jiang Huaiyue decided not to return to the palace. The farther she stayed from the tyrant, the better.

But within days, Fu Liangyu found her with ease.

The tyrant before her wore an inscrutable expression. His cold fingers brushed her neck as he sighed softly, "What does your brother have to pretend to be before you won't run away...?"

Hearing this, Jiang Huaiyue trembled, unsure which day the tyrant would sentence her to death.

But she never expected that what awaited her was her cousin's tender affection and a lifetime of favor.

Blurb Two:

When word spread that the tyrant had married a delicate, weepy young girl, everyone in Great Chu sighed. They all wondered how many days the sweet little thing would survive at the tyrant's hands.

Until one day, the cruel and fearsome tyrant frowned in worry for the first time in his life and posed an age-old question to the ministers below him:

"Um... when a woman gets angry, how do you make it up to her?"

The ministers: ???

*I regard you as my very life. Without my life, I would become a man-eating demon.
