I Toyed with the Sickly Crown Prince, and He Cried

The Crown Prince, Xia Lingjun, was frail and sickly. As soon as he was born, he was sent to a temple to cultivate good fortune.

Zhen Lü: "The mission is to win him over?"

The System corrected her: "No, to toy with him."

Zhen Lü clicked her tongue. "Isn't that a little harsh?"

Lingjun was delicate and beautiful, frail, and secluded in the temple, unaware of how cruel people could be. Zhen Lü seduced him, and, having never experienced love, he truly fell into a life of worldly temptation. His reputation ruined, he was expelled from the temple.

Zhen Lü scored an early victory and told him, "You're so stupid. I never liked you."

The System: "Oh-ho, that's harsh."

The deposed Crown Prince Lingjun fell from the clouds, his body rigid and motionless.

Zhen Lü stepped back innocently. "Don't cry. I was only toying with you."

Just as she was about to leave after accomplishing her goal, she found herself transported five years into the future. By then, Lingjun had risen to power and become the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

In the dimly lit hall, Lingjun gripped Zhen Lü's chin with a feverish intensity, his deep eyes nearly swallowing her whole. "Toying with me?" His icy fingertips slowly brushed the golden bell around her ankle. "Now it's my turn."

The System: "Oh-ho, another one's gone mad."

#He broke his vows for her, went mad for her, and would risk his life for her#

New story, please add it to your collection: "I Won't Be This Wretched Substitute Consort". Old-school melodramatic romance.

Bai Yan transmigrated into a book, landing in a sweet romance novel.

The tyrant Xie An was a madman with a brain disorder, moody, violent, and bloodthirsty.

He was eccentric and loved no one, but fell in love with Bai Yan at first sight. "A Yan, I'll make you my Noble Consort. Will you accept?"

"All right."

Everyone knew Noble Consort Bai was adored beyond measure, but no one knew she was merely a vessel whose fate matched another person's, whose heart's blood could bring the dead back to life and regenerate flesh and bone.

It would be even better if she became pregnant.

The blood of a child carried by the vessel would be purer, doubling the results for half the effort.

Learning the truth, Bai Yan was struck as if by lightning. The emperor's boundless favor had become a joke.

Xie An only tenderly wiped away her tears and said softly, "A Yan, we'll have another child."

The blade sank into her flesh. Bai Yan trembled in pain and stared blankly at the ceiling. So this was one of those bloody substitute romances.

She suddenly understood: the pet name her beloved had tenderly called her every day, "A Yan," wasn't referring to the Yan in her name at all.

How tragic and ridiculous.

Bai Yan lost her child and nearly lost her life. She took a fake-death pill and vanished from the palace.

After escaping the imperial city, she married an elegant scholar from Jiangnan.

Bai Yan never imagined that her new husband would suddenly take her back to the capital, where she would attend a banquet in the palace that had haunted her nightmares night after night.

From his high seat, the man gazed coldly at the cowering woman, the faintest smile on his lips.

"Cousin, is this the wife you married in Jiangnan?"

After the banquet, Xie An cornered her in a side hall and gripped her chin tightly. "A Yan, you were hard to find."

*

Bai Yan did not transmigrate into a book. She was reborn. In her previous life, she was a secondary couple's character in "After I Toyed with the Sickly Crown Prince, He Cried."

The heroine does not marry the second male lead. She remains in a one-on-one relationship with the male lead from beginning to end, and both leads are each other's first relationship.

Content warning: The male lead is truly violent, bloodthirsty, and a hereditary madman of an emperor. He takes what he wants by force, with no sense of morality or ethics.

The plot is wildly melodramatic. Read with caution.

2. "The Immortal Lord Who Fell in Love Can't Even Hold His Sword"

[Enchanting demoness of the Joyful Union Sect vs. an immortal lord who cultivates the Way of Unfeeling]

Bai Qingqing was the fiancee of Master Xi of the Qing Sect, and the most despised woman in the entire cultivation world. She had single-handedly seduced almost every handsome young heir from a prestigious family across the cultivation world.

Before they could marry, Master Xi died, and the Xi family announced the end of the engagement.

When Bai's father realized he could not curry favor with the Xi family, he shamelessly sent Bai Qingqing to live with them.

Bai Qingqing had intended to refuse, but one captivating glimpse in the mourning hall sparked her interest in Master Xi's adopted son.

*

Xi Yanqing had always hated that shameless temptress. She threw herself at him and spoke frivolously, never letting up even when the whole family gathered to eat. Under the table, she would gently stroke his ankles and calves.

Xi Yanqing was so furious his hands shook, and he nearly threw his bowl across the room.

Bai Qingqing only blinked innocently and gently reminded him, under the elders' watchful eyes, "Immortal Lord, be careful not to spill your food."

Unable to make a scene in front of everyone, Xi Yanqing silently endured it and swore that one day he would kill her.

*

Those who cultivate the Way of Unfeeling cut off all romantic attachments, their hearts sealed in ice. But after a cultivation technique backfired, Xi Yanqing lost his virginity.

Bai Qingqing smacked her lips and gave her verdict: "Eh, it was just okay."

Then, as Xi Yanqing burned with shame and fury, she walked away without looking back and threw herself into the arms of a new disciple, leaving him to suffer as the nascent heart demon gnawed at him day after day, torn between reason and passion.

The sense of forbidden pleasure made Xi Yanqing addicted. He fell completely and irredeemably.

After catching her in bed with one of his disciples yet again, Xi Yanqing's eyes turned bloodshot, and he slaughtered everyone who had caused him pain.

A river of blood flowed. His trembling sword pointed at Bai Qingqing's chest, yet he could not bring himself to strike.

Bai Qingqing mocked him. "The immortal lord who fell in love can't even hold his sword."

Xi Yanqing dropped his sword. With trembling hands, he gently caressed her face. "They're all dead. No one else will be seduced by you."

Perhaps this is the story of an aloof, merciless immortal lord being taken down by a demoness?

The male lead is not the master's biological son, but his adopted son. The heroine broke off her engagement with the master, so the leads are not related.

Ah, I'm shamelessly indulging the author's favorite tropes and writing the story I want to read.

Both leads are each other's first relationship. One-on-one romance.

#He trampled the laws of the Way of Unfeeling for her#
