The Tyrant Favors His Sister-in-Law

[Though the male lead is calculating and hysterical, he's actually a hopeless romantic, born for love and willing to die for it.] Blurb One: Mu Jun has always resented Mu Zhan for threatening her and taking her by force, using her child's life as leverage. She thought his memory loss might give them a chance to put their differences aside. It wasn't until he beat her son to death with his own hands that she finally woke up from her delusion. He even claimed it was an accident, that he hadn't meant to kill him. She couldn't help laughing, her laughter bleak, deranged, and utterly despairing. "Let me tell you, when I abandoned your son, that little bastard, I was delighted. But don't blame me, just as you said, I only killed her by accident back then. Who could help that he was so frail? Being born was a disgrace. He didn't deserve to live in this world!" "I told you to stop talking!" The child was his bottom line. Her words enraged him completely, and for the first time, he hit her. Perhaps once was all it took for him to do it again and again. Like a madman, he lashed her body viciously with a whip. "If you won't love me, then I'll hate you!" If he couldn't have her, he would destroy her. That's how recklessly love turned to hate. At the time, she thought she might as well let him beat her to death. Then she could reunite with her son and never suffer his coercion and humiliation again. "You'd better kill me this time. Otherwise, you'll regret it." Those words alone made him stop, snapping out of his madness. She truly wanted to die, but he couldn't bear to let her. She tried to kill him for revenge, but in the end, she failed. After she attempted suicide time and again, he finally allowed her to become a nun. "Do you really think you're so beautiful that the whole kingdom falls at your feet, and I can't live without you?" "Get out! Leave! If you don't love me, I don't need your charity. Do you really think I can't live without you? Go if you want. I won't stop you again. I never want to see you again!" He roared in furious frustration. Seeing him walk away, lonely and dejected, she thought they would never cross paths again. But then he regretted letting her go. Until one night, she woke from a dream and saw Mu Zhan, still haunting her, gazing intently at her from beside the bed and gently stroking her cheek. Mu Jun couldn't help screaming. The nights were so lonely and unbearable. Without love, how could there be hate? It turned out he had never stopped loving her for a single moment. No more holding back. Let the angst hit even harder! Old-school, melodramatic, painfully angsty, a love that drowns in hatred. A story of a woman and her husband's younger brother, with forced love and a domineering, violent male lead who takes the heroine by force, while she is made to submit. A devoted, trashy tyrant kindly "takes in by force" his amnesiac sister-in-law, the woman he has always loved. An obsessive, possessive tyrant X a gentle, kind, peerlessly beautiful woman. The male lead is a madman, constantly threatening violence and death, living and dying by his feelings. This story is set in an alternate Northern Qi. The heroine is based on Li Zu'e. The previous two books are numbered 4064087 and 4377831. You can find them in my author page. Reading all of them will make the experience smoother, but you can still follow this story without reading the others. Blurb Two: She was a noblewoman and empress, yet her husband's elder brother forced her into marriage, his younger brother took her by force, and men of all kinds coveted and harassed her, using force and threats to get what they wanted. Her tangled love and hate, and her painful romance, all came from being too beautiful and kind, leaving her burdened with debts of passion. Xiao Ziyou: Mu Jun, how about we spend our lives together, just the two of us? Mu Jun, you owe me so much. How will you make up for all these years of longing? Mu Cheng: We were promised to each other first. Why does Xiao Ziyou get to steal you away? Why should he be allowed to take another man's wife just because he's emperor? Mu Jun, now I'm emperor too. You like emperors, don't you? So why won't you love me? I want you to love me. You were meant to be my wife. Mu Zhan: Sister-in-law, you can't treat people like this. You accepted my help when you needed me, then kicked me aside and discarded me once you were done, like a worn-out shoe. You crossed the river and burned the bridge. Am I some kind of monster? Why are you so afraid of me now? I don't want to be your ninth brother. I want to be your husband. I want to spend my days and nights with you, have children with you, share a bed in life and a grave in death. Good girl, don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. Come into my arms. I'm emperor now too, and I can protect you. Yes, I killed your son! After you lost your memory, you spent your nights entangled with me. Do you regret it now? Ha! You hurt? Your pain isn't even a fraction of mine. What gives you the right to blame me? You killed our child too! I killed my brother and seized his throne, then killed my nephew and took his wife. I did it all for you. Mu Jun, you will never escape me. Can the peerlessly beautiful woman, caught in the bloody slaughter of imperial power, find salvation and a peaceful end? The heroine, Li Mujun: Being an empress famed for her beauty is exhausting. I don't want it. One-line blurb: Prince Xiang loves, but the goddess has no feelings for him. A dark, unhinged mad dog grows crazier the more he loves. Being an empress famed for her beauty is exhausting. I don't want it. (The heroine is adored by everyone; from birth, she's the male lead's ideal woman. She'll use love to heal a total nutcase.) Coming next: The Tyrant Takes His Pregnant Imperial Sister by Force Blurb: Feng Chun followed the late Emperor Yuan Jun's final decree and helped the new emperor, Yuan Hong, ascend the throne. The emperor was her cousin. Now that his power was growing, the day she could step down from her regency was near. She found herself missing Yuan Jun more and more. She had loved her cousin back then, but they had never become a couple. Now she had also taken a fancy to Gao Cheng, a court scholar who looked just like the late emperor. They were together in her boudoir, sharing an intimate moment. When he closed his eyes, he looked even more like Yuan Jun to her. Then Yuan Hong burst in and stabbed him to death right in front of her, shattering her dream. As she watched her lover die in a blood-red pool, her grief gave way to fury. She demanded to know how the emperor could execute a minister on a whim. But Yuan Hong seemed even angrier than she was. His fury blazed as he cried, "Why him? I'm the one who looks most like my brother!" She was stunned. He even dared to embrace her, whining, "Cousins can marry. If you can accept Gao Cheng, why can't you accept me?" Feng Chun was struck dumb. She never imagined the boy had secretly harbored such feelings for her. She quickly pushed him away and slapped him hard across the face. Yuan Hong was furious. He confined her to her residence and forbade her from going out. Not long after, Yuan Hong's first son was born. She had no idea how the boy had managed it, but rumors were suddenly everywhere. Though she was under house arrest, people were saying that she had borne the little prince for Yuan Hong, and that she had suddenly stopped attending court due to "illness" because she was recovering from childbirth?! This was utterly horrifying! Feng Chun was so shocked that she couldn't get over it for days. Once she gradually accepted reality and calmed down, she began to think of a way out. She couldn't be locked up here forever, and she had to live in fear of the day he'd come to take her to bed. Her hands clenched again and again, her long, sharp nails digging painfully into her flesh. She rose, her brows arched in anger, and ordered the eunuch to summon the emperor. "Go tell that beast to get over here and see me! I have something to discuss with him!" Currently updating, with more stories coming soon. Please add them to your collection. Theme: The beautiful canary breaks free of her cage and takes flight. In that moment, freedom saves her soul.
