After a Tortured Romance, the Little Phoenix Became Emperor

[A novel where readers pick their favorite love interest]

Everyone in the Three Realms knows that Feng Tingyue, leader of the Phoenix Clan, is peerlessly beautiful, immensely powerful, and free of desire.

Free of desire? Rong Xihuan set down the document in her hand and turned her captivating eyes toward the man beside her, who was lying there and pulling off her outer robe.

"Look at how well I've raised you all these years. Now, don't you want to taste the fruits of your own labor?"

Under her control, Wen Tingyue didn't dare feel even the slightest resentment toward her. He let her toy with him as she pleased, take his power and position, and tear away his cold, aloof mask.

Until one day, she grew bored. With a faint smile, she said, "The spell... was broken long ago."

He hurriedly pulled her into his arms, terrified she would leave. He knew that what tormented him had never been the spell, but the intense obsession and possessiveness he had never dared to admit, buried deep in his heart.

When Wei Chengzhao rescued Rong Xihuan from the Extreme Flame Vein, she knew she had won her gamble.

Wei Chengzhao, leader of the Dragon Clan, was sinister, cunning, and ambitious. He was her enemy, the one who destroyed her clan and killed her family, as well as the culprit who caused her a century of physical pain and forcibly took her body in an illusion. She had once sworn to make him pay in blood and leave him with nothing.

When she opened her eyes and saw the man standing with his back to her, his hands behind him, she asked in confusion, "Who am I?"

The man, who had not known how to deal with her, turned around. A dangerous glint shone in his eyes. "You are my... concubine."

Rong Xihuan was amused by his audacity. A concubine, was she? Fine.

Later, she watched him become a foolish emperor, lost in sensual pleasures. She watched him slaughter his own kind for her and grant her supreme power. After he had fallen for her with all his heart, she trampled on him in front of everyone, cast him aside without mercy, restored the Phoenix Clan to glory, and became the greatest Phoenix Emperor in the Three Realms.

Wei Chengzhao knew from the start that she hadn't lost her memory. She knew that he knew.

In her carefree youth, Rong Xihuan once loved someone. He was bright as the sun and moon, and as gentle as the breeze. He cherished her in the palm of his hand, giving her all his love and care.

She remembered how he once took her hand and led her to Wei Chengzhao, then said with a smile, "Huan'er, call him big brother." He had rescued her from Wei Chengzhao many times, and protected her and kept her safe through countless days afterward.

Rong Xihuan often thought that if he had never left, Wei Chengzhao, who loved his younger brother more than life itself, would never have gone mad, and none of the tragedies would have happened.

"Minglang, I miss you so much."
