After Flirting with the Wrong Person, the Sword Master Makes Me Atone

Yan Qingling flirted with someone. He was the Lord of the Illusion Realm, while she was a puppet trying to escape it.

She caught the Lord of the Illusion Realm and couldn't wait to spend a night with him, pursuing him relentlessly along the way.

Her dear man was handsome, with the graceful bearing of a breeze beneath the moon and the pristine beauty of fine jade. His only flaw was that he often ignored her, rarely spoke, and never smiled.

Yan Qingling loved that about him and seduced him without restraint.

At last, he couldn't take it anymore. He held his sword to her throat. "You have two choices: die by my hand, or leave."

Yan Qingling looked forlorn. She lowered her head and stroked her slightly swollen belly, her expression unreadable.

"This child is almost three months along."

The man nearly fell over.

Later...

The real Lord of the Illusion Realm she had meant to seduce appeared before her, and she realized she'd flirted with the wrong man and fallen for the wrong man!

The man she'd pursued relentlessly, Jing Yu, was merely the eldest disciple of the Immortal Sect, the foremost sword cultivator in the cultivation world.

Yan Qingling had no hesitation about abandoning Jing Yu.

Jing Yu watched her expressionlessly, his eyes darkening as anger stirred.

She beamed, trying to smooth things over. Suddenly, the man, as otherworldly as an immortal, lifted her chin. His cool breath brushed her face, and his low voice sounded by her ear.

"Then let's make the mistake permanent. If he can give it to you, so can I."

Besides, you have my child.

No! I don't!

Yan Qingling: The child was fake, and so was my love for you.

Later, rumors spread that the foremost sword cultivator, who had once shaken the cultivation world, had gone mad. He wandered around looking for his wife day and night. The various sects hurriedly sent him their prettiest girls, but he sent every one of them back.

Yan Qingling, locked inside the courtyard: "..."

A free-spirited, unrestrained black lotus puppet sets out to change her fate, only to be caught off guard and forced into a marriage.

Wu Yuesheng, the orphan of a fallen dynasty, witnessed her country’s destruction and her family’s death as a child. The trauma left her frail and sickly, and she was told she wouldn't live past eighteen. The new emperor decided that, since she was too young to pose a threat, he would make her a princess of the new dynasty and keep her well provided for.

Wu Yuesheng had no intention of settling for her lot. She needed talented people she could shape into her allies.

She set her sights on the top candidate in the spring examination. He was handsome and charming, talented in both looks and learning, so she invited him to her residence to serve as her kept man. He refused, and met her with cold silence. That didn't stop her from being tender as water, slipping her slender waist into his arms and making his expression stiffen and his ears turn red.

He was restrained and proper, and firmly refused to become a man kept by a woman. In a fit of anger, Wu Yuesheng ruined his career and forced him to give in.

Xu Bingyu detested this brazen princess who kept seducing him, yet again and again, even with his senses clear, he fell beneath her skirts.

-

Then a sudden turn of events brought Xu Bingyu back to the palace, where the emperor acknowledged him as family. That day, he saw the shock on Wu Yuesheng's face. Slowly, her gaze turned to disgust. He would never admit that he liked the way her eyes lit up when she smiled, and he'd certainly never be at a loss because she despised him.

One snowy day in the twelfth month, Xu Bingyu announced to the world that the princess had been deposed for bringing chaos to the court.

Wu Yuesheng knelt before him at the palace gate, her eyes filled with hatred, wishing she could kill him. Xu Bingyu kept her safely by his side, humbling himself before her day after day and trying to win her favor, hoping to wear away her resentment.

He thought that becoming her kept man might not be so bad after all.

But things didn't go as he wished.

She ran away with the lover who came to rescue her, and there was more than one of them.

His gaze turned icy. He snapped the brush in his hand and set off in pursuit.

A former-dynasty princess who seems delicate and weak but is actually cold-hearted and clear-eyed, paired with her former imperial brother, who's scheming, ruthless, and intensely possessive.

*The male lead is untouched in body and heart, and loves only the heroine. A little melodrama, groveling after the breakup, suffering, and a touch of forced marriage. Please add it to your reading list!
