Breaking Free

Blurb: [Coercive Possession] [Unabridged Online Version, Official Edition on Jinjiang] Prince Yan Yi of Jing'an was the most revered prince in the Great East. He valued power and cherished talent, but was moody and capricious, with a vicious disposition. Strangely, his household was filled with countless beautiful concubines, yet he never touched any of them. He treated them like playthings and casually gave them away. People privately speculated that Prince Jing'an preferred men. What they didn't know was that Yan Yi suffered from a strange illness. Since childhood, his skin had been so sensitive that he couldn't bear to be touched. Song Zhihui had crawled out of a pile of corpses. As the daughter of a disgraced official, she had fallen into a brothel. She'd hoped to find a chance to leave, but instead wound up in Yan Yi's hands. From the first time she saw him, she understood perfectly: he stood among the clouds, while she was a blade of grass. She harbored no extravagant hopes. All she wanted was to live a peaceful, safe life. But she knew that once she was no longer useful, Yan Yi would never let her live, given how much she knew about him. The first time Song Zhihui tried to escape, Yan Yi shot straight through her left shoulder without mercy. "Try it again, and I'll aim for your head." He looked down at her coldly. The second time she ran, Yan Yi kept his word in his own way, tossing Zhao Ling's head in front of her. "Did you really think I didn't know he'd kept you at Chunbao Pavilion for three years?" His expression was sinister, and his eyes held not a trace of light. The third time he caught her, his hands trembled as he held her tight. Though he loathed her filth more than anything, after that night he couldn't get enough of her, craving her endlessly. [Daughter of a Disgraced Official x Mad Prince] Reading Guide: 1.
