This story: #A dark, tyrannical emperor x a healing, kitten-like heroine#

Ling Han is a bloodthirsty killer, especially at night.

They say that one night he killed hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs in one go, leaving rivers of blood and a scene too horrific to look at.

After the Sun family offended a powerful minister, a memorial was sent to the throne, and Sun Qingwan, the beauty famed throughout the capital, was sent to the palace to serve the tyrant.

In the pitch-black palace, the tyrant grabbed Sun Qingwan by the wrist. Terrified, she burst into tears and cried weakly, "It hurts."

The man's body stiffened. His voice was cold. "Hit me. Get your revenge."

Sun Qingwan: "Huh?"

Ling Han: "Harder! What, haven't you eaten?"

A moment later, Ling Han let out a muffled grunt.

The woman tossed her hairpin to the ground with a clatter. "Y-Your Majesty, I... I didn't mean to kill you. I really didn't do it on purpose."

The man wiped the blood from his shoulder with his fingertip and caught the scent of it.

"That was a good stab." His thin lips curled into a faint, irresistibly alluring smile. "I'll grant you whatever reward you want."

Sun Qingwan: "...What?!"

Everyone thought that a delicate young woman like Sun Qingwan wouldn't last three days by the tyrant's side. Even she believed it.

But not only did she survive, she grew more comfortable with each passing day.

One day, Ling Han was about to execute her uncle.

Sun Qingwan, crying bitterly, ran into the Hall of Diligent Governance and, in front of all the ministers, gritted her teeth and gave Ling Han a hard whack...

Everyone was stunned!

Then the emperor, who had always seemed untouchable and cruelly tyrannical, smiled coldly.

"Well done. Her uncle is innocent."

After an imperial decree arranges her marriage, Wanwan is assigned to be the Third Prince's consort. Everyone says that the Third Prince, Gao Zhan, is an elegant and refined young man, but the man in Wanwan's dreams is nothing like that.

In her dreams, Gao Zhan is sinister, cold, and utterly heartless. Every time, he forces her to do things she hates, until she cries.

The dream feels so real, but the praise everyone heaps on the Third Prince isn't baseless, either. For a while, Wanwan can't tell dream from reality.

Then, on her wedding night with Gao Zhan, he lifts her veil. The handsome man from her dreams presses close to her, but what happens next is completely different from the dreams.

There's no roughness or cruelty.

He's gentle and tender, asking her again and again, "Does it hurt?"

Wanwan's cheeks flush red. She says softly, "It hurts."

He furrows his handsome brows as if his own heart has been carved out, kisses the tears at the corners of her eyes, and tells her he's a terrible man.

Wanwan thinks that the real Gao Zhan is nothing like the man in her dreams. The dream version is awful, but the real one is gentle.

He even notices how she likes to eat sweets when she's on her period, though she's never told anyone. He's thoughtful and attentive, truly the best husband in the world.

To win the beauty's smile, Gao Zhan lived through three lifetimes and was reborn three times.

In the first life, he fell in love with her at first sight and took her by force, without any regard for her feelings. She came to hate him and died by suicide, full of resentment.

In the second life, he still didn't change, and ultimately caused her death. He was devastated and never recovered.

When he met Wanwan again in this third life, he cherished her as if she might melt in his hands or disappear if he let her out of his sight.

He could only keep her safely at home, carefully look after her, and shower her with love, making sure she wouldn't shed a single tear in this life, to make up for what he'd done in the first two.

But the sweet, delicate girl he dotes on in his arms keeps waking up at night, crying and throwing herself into his embrace. She tells him there's a man in her dreams who looks exactly like him and is always bullying her.

Gao Zhan: "..."

He really had been awful, and Heaven had punished him by making him live three lifetimes to make amends.

He holds the sweet young woman in his arms and grits his teeth. "Don't be afraid. If you dream of him again, I'll climb into your dream and beat him up for you!"

#A story about turning a tyrant back to the right path, and a man who learns to cherish his beloved only after three lifetimes.#
