After Saving the Brooding Prince

[Complete]

[Next book: After Provoking the Gloomy Illegitimate Son]

On the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, Wanzhu saved an exceptionally handsome young man from a pool of blood.

She cared for him and cherished him.

But everyone urged her to stay away, saying he was fiercer than a wolf and more venomous than a snake.

Wanzhu didn't believe them. She dared to tug at his lapels and act coy, climb onto his back and ask him to carry her, and even stick her little feet out for him to rub.

In Wanzhu's eyes, Sixth Brother was a good man with a cold exterior and a warm heart.

That was until Wanzhu was ordered to marry the Crown Prince.

The wedding candles flickered red in the bridal chamber, and the clash of swords came from outside. When Wanzhu ran out, she saw Zhao Xijin covered in blood, kneeling with one hand braced on a long sword. Amid the mountains of corpses and rivers of blood, his pupils reflected only her.

So he really is a bad seed. Is it still in time to run?

It was already too late.

After nightfall, the bad seed pinned her down.

"Since I killed your husband, I'll take his place and complete the wedding ceremony with you."

At their first meeting, amid a shower of blossoms, she fell into his arms. She was as startled and shy as a fawn, while he held her fragrant, soft body loosely, wicked thoughts rising in his heart.

He wanted to tear her apart, to break her.

But he also wanted to lock her away and cherish her.

I am sinking in a sea of misery, adrift in purgatory, while you are that faint glimmer of firefly light.

Bright and spirited young princess x gloomy, lovesick emperor

A story of redemption.

A fictional setting.

Both are first-timers and have never been with anyone else.

[After Provoking the Gloomy Illegitimate Son]

Yun Su is the youngest daughter of a marquis's household. With snowy skin and red lips, she is radiant and captivating, a pampered young lady adored by everyone in the capital.

Yet she has been jilted three times.

At last, she can take no more. In a fury, she goes to confront Ji Yu, a handsome, pale boy with a cold aura who is also sweet and obedient.

"Tell me, was it you who meddled?"

The boy lowers his eyes. "No."

As if!

That night, she clearly saw him enter her room and steal a kiss.

From then on, Yun Su never treated the boy kindly.

Two years later, a coup takes place, and the young emperor ascends the throne. The young, handsome regent monopolizes power, rising to a position above all others.

After a banquet, Yun Su is summoned to Chonghua Hall once again.

The moment the heavy doors close, a man in a black robe embroidered with dark gold thread pins her against the door, his eyes reddened.

Yun Su clutches her skirt tightly with all ten fingers, her delicate shoulders trembling.

She asks through her tears, "When will you finally let me go?"

Ji Yu's grip tightens, and his voice turns harsh.

"You were the one who provoked me first."

"Didn't you like playing games? I'll play with you until you've had enough!"

Yun Su knows Ji Yu hates her to the core, so she stages her death in a great fire, hoping that her death will finally erase his hatred and let her escape his clutches to start a new life.

She doesn't know that the day after the fire, the lofty regent crawls on the ground, his hands reduced to bloody pulp, still stubbornly digging through the ruins piece by piece.

Ji Yu hates Yun Su for toying with him, yet he can't help being addicted to her.

His mind was immature, and his greed went too far.

He is guilty.

He deserves to die.
