Upcoming novel: Taking the Peach

Coercive love / groveling redemption / slight rivalry between men

A pampered girl with high self-esteem x an unruly, domineering founding emperor

His followers who had risen up with him died in battle.

Before dying, one entrusted his only daughter, just seven years old, to his care.

Xue Yan thought that once he had conquered the realm, he would make her a commandery princess and find her a talented young husband, fulfilling the bond between ruler and subject.

In the first year of the Tianqi era, the new emperor holds a grand selection of beautiful women from across the land to fill the palace.

One day, camellias cascade through the Imperial Garden, and a beauty catches Xue Yan's gaze so completely that he cannot look away. The eunuch beside him has a sudden flash of inspiration and flatters him: "Judging by her attire, she must be one of the candidates at the Palace of Gathered Elegance."

Xue Yan's thoughts have already wandered elsewhere. "The Palace of Gathered Elegance is cramped and remote. Yilan Hall is closest to me, so it's just right for her."

Yilan Hall was the residence of a favored consort in the previous dynasty. Its extravagant splendor is astonishing, and only favored consorts are allowed to live there. Everyone is eager to claim credit before the new emperor, but they search the entire palace in vain.

That night, the chief eunuch of Funing Hall kneels before him, drenched in cold sweat and afraid to meet the emperor's gaze. "Your Majesty, the lady you just made Commandery Princess Yining has been betrothed to the second son of the Li family."

On a night of torrential rain, the Li family lights up their home to welcome the bride.

The emperor gallops out of the palace and storms into the bridal chamber, his obsession turning to madness:

"Do you choose him or me?"
