The Grand Princess of Dali, Yue Chaoge, was devastatingly beautiful, her figure as dazzling as a fleeting swan. She had helped the emperor take the throne.

The current emperor was her sworn elder brother, and he doted on her, indulging her every whim.

She had every reason to be arrogant, domineering, and unrestrained.

If the jade sent to her residence wasn't top quality, she'd destroy it with a whip.

If a dish on her table was even slightly unpalatable, she'd beat the cook with a stick.

If a man she took to her bed wasn't handsome and well-built, she'd demote him to a laundry slave.

Her prominence made her a target, and plenty of people hated Yue Chaoge to the bone. When they couldn't bring her down openly, they secretly hired an assassin.

One day, an assassin arrived at the Grand Princess's residence: tall and strong, with a cool, composed air. But he kept failing.

It was the young man's first mission. Yue Chaoge was bathing, and through the mist rising from the heated pool, she gave him a bewitching glance.

The young man's face turned red to the tips of his ears, and Yue Chaoge came alive again.

The second time, Yue Chaoge was asleep, her bright, delicate face softened by drowsiness. His fingers trembled, and his throwing knife stuck in the pearwood headboard.

With a thunk, Yue Chaoge woke up.

The third time, Yue Chaoge leaned back and waited for him, her red lips parting, as alluring as a demon bringing ruin to a kingdom.

"Little boy, you look so good when you're desperately trying to kill me."

Only later did she realize that fire was dangerous to play with.

Yue Xiao bit down hard on her lips and murmured, "Big Sister, do I really look good when I'm desperately trying to kill you?"

Blurb:

[The original wife gets a divorce, and Si Chao, a ruthless and unstable man, takes her in]

Cold rain poured from the sky. Ruan Que stood in the courtyard, coldly watching the group of people beneath the corridor.

Gu Tingkang stood among them, his face grim. "Ruan Que, give up on the divorce, and I'll spare your father."

Looking at his face, Ruan Que suddenly found the situation rather amusing.

In the three years since she'd married into the Gu family, her in-laws had cursed her at best and punished her at worst, while Gu Tingkang had stayed out of it, silently watching the show.

Later, he got an opera singer pregnant, then claimed he had to protect the Gu family's bloodline and pushed Ruan Que onto the stage in the singer's place.

After that, to strengthen his family's influence, he decided to marry a woman from a prominent clan and keep Ruan Que in the West Garden as his mistress. He even declared, "A mistress is better than a wife."

She had done all she could for them over the past three years, only to end up like this.

Ruan Que's heart turned completely cold. Without a word, she left the Gu residence and sought out the fearsome man everyone dreaded.

*

The autumn rain was icy. Ruan Que knelt before the Prince Regent's residence, looking utterly wretched.

Raindrops traced the woman's slender neck and disappeared into her collar. Her back was straight, her waist delicate, and she was already more than a little tempting. Yet she seemed unaware of her own allure, her small face cool and impassive.

It made him want to bully her...

The man's gaze darkened. He approached slowly beneath his umbrella, smiling as he asked, "What will you offer me, Ruan Ruan?"

*

Ruan Que left behind a letter of divorce and disappeared.

Gu Tingkang went mad searching for her. He combed the entire capital with his men and found nothing. Only one place remained, a place he didn't dare enter: the Prince Regent's residence.

The mighty estate was home to his maternal uncle, Si Chao.

They said Si Chao had countless lives on his hands, was unpredictable and killed on a whim, and that wherever he went, rivers of blood were an ordinary sight. He was even more ruthless than the tyrant of Beidi.

Gu Tingkang lingered outside the walls day after day, never knowing that within them, passion knew no bounds.

Until one night, two guards pinned him down in the pouring rain. He watched the red candles flicker inside as two figures intertwined.

He clearly heard his all-powerful, cruel and violent young uncle speak in a hoarse, desperate voice: "Ruan Ruan, please."

Content warnings:

1. The male lead is obsessive and unstable; the female lead is cool and aloof.

2. Neither Ruan Que nor Si Chao is a good person. They are genuinely not good people.

3. The female lead is not a virgin, while the male lead is. Gu Tingkang is the original male lead, and Si Chao takes his place. Happy ending.
