Her Captivating Beauty

Qin Ya is the most renowned beauty in Hedong. Her skin is fair as snow, and her beauty is breathtaking. One day, her family sends her into the palace to serve the ruler.

The Linchao dynasty has endured the chaos of the Six Princes' Rebellion, and the ruler has long since lost all real power. The regent holds all authority over the military and government.

Regent Qi He is handsome and noble in appearance, peerlessly beautiful.

He is ambitious, ruthless, and has the court firmly in his grasp. The ruler is a figurehead, and the ministers all defer to him. He is, without a doubt, the most powerful man in the realm.

There is nothing in this world he cannot obtain if he wants it.

No matter what it takes.

Late at night, palace attendants in the inner court often see the tall regent brazenly barge into the bedchamber of the emperor's favored consort, lock the door, and stay there for an hour or two.

Inside Linglong Hall, candlelight flickers softly, and the air is fragrant.

The peerlessly delicate beauty is bound by silver chains, while the man looking down at her has phoenix eyes as deep as a bottomless sea.

"Qin Ya, when you betrayed me for a coward like that, you should have known this day would come."

"Do you believe I couldn't kill him with a single stroke of my sword in court tomorrow?"

Tears streaming down her face, the beauty lifts her slender neck and begs him, "Don't kill him. I'm begging you. Spare his life."

Complex emotions roil in the man's eyes. He crouches and grips her exquisitely beautiful face, his voice domineering and impossible to defy.

"Then bear me a child."

[Classic forced pursuit and conquest. The male lead is domineering and coercive. Do not read if this is not for you.]
