After My Archrival Forced Me to Marry Him

*Please check out my new novels, Empress's Charm and Long Live the Princess!

As the most beloved young lady of the Duke's mansion, Lu Yunjiao was determined to grow up into a little terror.

She caused trouble every day and was unbeatable across Lin'an. Then one day, she finally picked a fight with the wrong person: Li Xirang, the newly risen Marquis of Jian'an, the hardest man in Yue to provoke.

Everyone thought she was done for. But to their surprise, Li Xirang turned around and asked the ruler to arrange a marriage so he could take her as his wife.

Lu Yunjiao: ???

I thought you were my sworn enemy, but you want to marry me?

After falling from the pinnacle of power overnight, the only thing Li Xirang wanted was to use Yue as a stepping stone and climb back to the top.

At the darkest point in his life, he met Lu Yunjiao.

After going to endless trouble, he tricked her into staying by his side.

At first, he only meant to use her to gain control of Yue. But his own heart fell for her instead.

Before his identity was exposed, she smiled and said, "Can we grow old together?"

He said yes.

After his identity was exposed, she cried, "Will you let me go?!"

He said no.

He would become an invisible cage, trapping this carefree skylark.

He would keep her firmly in his grasp, never to be parted from her.

[Reading Notes]

1. The male lead is cold on the outside and insane within, and he's a real scoundrel. The female lead is a violent, brash beauty, spoiled and doted on by everyone. She's highly skilled and can really fight.

2. Set in a fictional version of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Entirely fictional, entirely fictional, entirely fictional.

3. A long, slow-burn story. If it annoys you, please don't yell at the author. Lots of love!

4. [Important] One-on-one, both leads have only been with each other. Readers who think even talking to someone else counts as being unfaithful should stay away.

5. Happy ending, bickering enemies and a remorseful chase to win his wife back, plus an obsessive, coercive romance. But the heroine's family will all live to a ripe old age (important!).

6. More to be added if I think of anything.

Theme: Whatever cannot defeat me will make me stronger
