Jian Qingyao had a big secret.

Then an accident happened, and when he opened his eyes again, he had somehow landed five years in the future.

The Lu Xingzhou of five years later was gloomy and obsessive, convinced Jian Qingyao was imitating his deceased lover.

Until one day, Jian Qingyao stared in a daze at the substitute contract Lu Xingzhou, whom he had driven ever more insane, had deigned to offer him...

One day, the grim-faced movie star flung him onto the bed, his eyes icy with rage. “Don’t imagine I’ll ever have real feelings for you. You’re just a substitute.”

“If you look at me with that same expression as Yao Yao again, I’ll gouge your eyes out.”

Jian Qingyao lay on the bed, trembling.

My boyfriend is so mean, so scary! QAQ

Lu Xingzhou, the devoted boyfriend, increasingly felt that something was wrong. At last, he pinned Jian Qingyao against the back of the teaching building by the wrist, his voice dangerous. “Yao Yao, there’s someone else in your heart, isn’t there?”

Pre-release: After the Prince Forces Me to Marry Him

Yun Xi was the only son of the Grand Tutor. With the court in turmoil, he was raised as a girl from childhood to keep him safe. He struggled through life in the residence until he was fifteen, then secretly went to the market with his young maid.

Unfortunately, he was spotted by Si Yinghuai, the heir of Prince Hengkang’s household, who had gone out looking for fun.

The young lord was famous for being a wastrel and a libertine, a regular at pleasure houses. After catching a fleeting glimpse of Yun Xi on the street, he took a dangerous gamble and abducted him.

Yun Xi could see the cruelty buried in his eyes and the cold, sharp aura that clung to him. He knew this was a dangerous man.

I should keep my distance.

To force a marriage, the young lord stuffed Yun Xi into a bridal sedan and carried him into the prince’s residence. When the Yun family heard, they wanted to hang themselves outside the residence. The commotion grew until it reached the emperor. On one side was the son of Prince Hengkang, who held power over the court and commanded a million troops; on the other was Grand Tutor Yun, the foremost of the civil and military officials. Neither side could be offended.

The emperor hardened his heart and sent Si Yinghuai to the border, calling it “an opportunity to gain experience.”

Three years later, a new emperor ascended the throne, and an imperial edict spread throughout the land: I have long loved Yun Xi. I shall take you as my empress.

The entire Yun family was tearing their hair out.

Our son is a man, for heaven’s sake!

The imperial edict pressed on relentlessly. Yun Xi took a desperate gamble and fled in the middle of the night, but as soon as he stepped outside, he was bundled into the phoenix carriage meant to bring the empress to the palace.

Yun Xi QAQ: “I’m doomed!”

Just as he was about to be forced into marriage, Si Yinghuai, now Prince Hengkang, returned at the head of his troops.

“I hear Your Majesty intends to marry my wife?” By then, Si Yinghuai had been transformed. The authority of a ruler radiated from him. Behind him stood a million soldiers, and beneath his feet lay a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. “Did you ever consider asking whether I agree?”

The emperor glared furiously. “Absurd! Since when has the empress I’m marrying been your wife?”

Si Wuwang placed a hand on his sword. “I went to ask for his hand in marriage. He rode in my eight-person bridal sedan two years ago. He is the one I have chosen. If Your Majesty insists, I can only break my word.”

Two years later, the former crown prince, now emperor, looked at the even more untouchable Prince Hengkang and reluctantly gave up the match, issuing an edict for their marriage.

Yun Xi, being stuffed into a bridal sedan for the third time: Does nobody want to ask what I, the person involved, want?

To keep himself alive, he lost his appetite and spent every waking moment thinking about how to escape.

But he ran, the prince pursued, and he couldn’t get away even if he grew wings.

The prince, with a beauty by his side whom he couldn’t actually have, grew more and more irritable. Every day, he watched him like a hawk, seemingly about to start forcing his love on him.

Yun Xi trembled. “I don’t think I can handle this!!!” QAQ
