Chu Nian, the frail and lovely daughter of the Vice Minister of Revenue, was still unmarried, yet her peerless beauty had become so famous that it reached the palace. The tyrant Su Yu took a fancy to her and issued an imperial decree summoning her to the palace.

Su Yu seized power and ascended the throne as a young man. He was known for his cruelty, ruthlessness, and tyrannical ways, and the world feared him.

Chu Nian thought her life was probably over.

On an auspicious day under the blazing summer sun, Chu Nian entered the palace in full finery. That very night, she was bathed and dressed, then wrapped in a quilt and carried to Su Yu's bedchamber.

Chu Nian clutched the quilt tightly and curled up, watching the young tyrant approach step by step. Her eyes brimmed with tears, making her look all the more pitiful.

"Am I really that frightening?"

The tyrant of legend spoke gently and behaved with refined grace, the corners of his lips curving into a lovely smile.

Chu Nian timidly looked at the man before her. This tyrant seemed quite different from the rumors. He even seemed rather nice!

Behind the red curtains, they shared a tender, passionate night. When Chu Nian awoke, she saw the young tyrant obediently kneeling on the bed. His eyes, brimming with tenderness, gazed at her pitifully as he said in a sweet, childish voice, "Big Sister, A-Yu is hungry. I want meat!"

Only then did Chu Nian learn that, as a child, Su Yu had witnessed his parents' brutal deaths and been imprisoned in a narrow passage between palace walls. He survived for two years on scraps and spoiled food. After escaping the palace, he spent twelve years gathering power, slaughtering his way across the land, and ascending the throne over a sea of blood and corpses.

These experiences left him with a secret unknown to the world: hidden within his body was the personality of a five-year-old child, mischievous, clingy, and greedy.

Chu Nian had assumed that, like everyone else who discovered this secret, she would be killed to keep it. But Su Yu only grew more devoted to her.

"That wicked consort is ruining the country! Sooner or later, the Great Yan dynasty will fall into Chu Nian's hands!"

"A-Nian, Su Yu is cold-blooded and cruel. He's no suitable partner for you. If you'll come with me, I'll risk my life to take you far away!"

Everyone called Su Yu a foolish and brutal ruler, but Chu Nian always thought he was wise and mighty, a rare good ruler in this world.

"I stepped into hell with one foot. Everyone in the world fears me and wishes they could carve me up alive with a knife. Aren't you afraid?"

Chu Nian looked up at the handsome, brooding man before her and threw herself into his arms.

"I'm not afraid. Your Majesty is a good person, the very best person in the world!"

Next novel: The Phoenix Terrace's Beauty. Please add it to your collections!

Blurb:

Wei Li, the pampered young lady of the Prime Minister's residence, is implicated in her father's crimes and exiled to the northern frontier. She is assigned to care for the deposed emperor imprisoned in Phoenix Terrace Palace.

The deposed emperor wears only thin clothes and heavy shackles. Old wounds that have accumulated around his ankles over the years sometimes bleed. His frail, emaciated appearance fills Wei Li with pity.

"No matter how hard things get, you have to keep living. I'll always stay by your side and take good care of you."

The deposed emperor, Xiao Yichuan, was framed by villains three years ago. He lost his martial arts skills, was driven from the throne, and imprisoned in Phoenix Terrace Palace in the north.

He endured humiliation and survived in secret there for three years, finally awaiting the arrival of the first girl he could use: a delicate, helpless innocent.

Xiao Yichuan once practiced an evil art. All he had to do was drink the heart's blood of the person he loved to regain his martial arts skills. Then he could easily escape Phoenix Terrace Palace and reclaim the throne that belonged to him.

So Xiao Yichuan began plotting ways to make Wei Li, the naive young girl, fall in love with him.

"It's freezing. A-Li, dress warmly."

"I'll take care of all the chores in Phoenix Terrace Palace."

"Here, this fragrant braised pork is all for you, A-Li."

At last, Xiao Yichuan's plan succeeded. As he held Wei Li in his arms, he prepared to pierce her chest with a sharpened wooden stake. But then he heard Wei Li lean against his chest and say softly, "Brother Yichuan, A-Li loves you. Let's stay together for the rest of our lives, okay?"

At that moment, Xiao Yichuan changed his mind. If he could spend his life with this girl, then even a lifetime in this lightless place would be worth it.

Later, when Xiao Yichuan was sentenced to death by poison and was about to die, he watched Wei Li plunge a dagger into her own chest and take out her heart's blood.

Wei Li's Brother Yichuan was a gray wolf of the grasslands, an eagle in the heavens, and destined to rule the world. He should not be poisoned to death in this lightless place by vile villains.

"Brother Yichuan, live well for me..."

Years later, Xiao Yichuan ascended the throne again and personally placed the phoenix crown on Wei Li's head.

"A-Li, having you in this life is wonderful."

Theme: Cherish the present and live well!
