You'll Regret Giving Your Wife in Marriage to Someone Else

After the previous dynasty fell, Yun Ning, its former prince, became a laughingstock. Even more laughable, the new emperor issued an imperial decree arranging his marriage to a battle-hardened general.

He couldn't resist, because the new emperor held his parents' lives in his hands.

All he wanted was one night with the person he loved before the wedding.

So he took some drugged wine to his beloved, but something went wrong: the new emperor drank it instead, and they spent the night together.

The next morning, the emperor flew into a rage. "How long have you been coveting me?"

Yun Ning: "No, I haven't!"

The emperor: "You even drugged me, and you still won't admit you wanted into my bed?"

Yun Ning: "I really didn't. I wanted someone else's bed."

The emperor: "...What a load of excuses!"
