Taming a Mad Soul

Next book: Spring Mountain Ablaze. The aloof beauty is seduced until he loses control, then things get steamy.

Blurb:

Song Zhifei tricked a powerless, influence-free young man into becoming a puppet emperor. He had nothing else, but he did have a cold, vicious heart that never let an offense go unavenged.

He bit her behind the ornamental rockery, bit her in the imperial study, and even abducted her to Chengqian Palace to keep biting her...

Looking at his vigorous, untamed nature and his repressed gaze, as if he wanted to devour her alive, she suddenly understood amid dangers she could not put into words.

After carefully selecting a group of beautiful bedchamber attendants to send to His Majesty to help him unwind, Song Zhifei immediately prepared to leave now that her work was done. But before she could get away, he stopped her with a dark expression and pinned her hard onto the pear-blossom couch.

“For this kind of thing, it has to be you.” He was as eerie as a demon, taking his revenge to the fullest. Yet another part of him was fiercely aroused, unmistakable even through their clothes.

Song Zhifei: ???

**

Everyone said His Majesty hated that female official who served the former dynasty's faction.

Whether she submitted memorials urging him to take consorts or sparred with him at court, he often left her utterly humiliated.

But just as his enemies laughed that Song Zhifei's life was hanging by a thread, their emperor was in the locked depths of Chengqian Palace at night, eagerly kissing every inch of the person in his arms.

“Stop calling me Your Majesty. Call me Ziche, all right?”

Her silence meant yes. Smiling, he kissed away the tears at the corners of her eyes. Even as she held his fate in her hands, his blood raced with a delirious joy.

“I gave you my heart. You can't reject me again...”

#The aloof beauty falls from his pedestal and goes mad with love#

#A ghostly man is by my side every day#

One-on-one, both leads are each other's only partner! The harem is for show. Once the male lead had consolidated his power, he got rid of all the consorts.

No one but the female lead can get near the male lead. His only three encounters with female supporting characters are as follows:

1. A female supporting character drugs him with an aphrodisiac, and he grabs her by the throat.

2. A female supporting character uses her brother's military achievements to get into the palace. He goes to her bedchamber and threatens to kill her if she causes trouble. That's all.

3. The female lead is attacked, and the male lead goes mad. In the middle of the night, he throws the assassin's head in front of the female supporting character's door, grabs her face, and asks why she screamed so loudly.

Content warning: The male lead is unwell, genuinely insane, and a rotten seed who behaves for love. Don't open this if you can't accept that.

Theme: Keep your heart turned toward the light.
