Broken Que

Please add it to your favorites.] After the fall of the Yin Kingdom, Nan Yuan was offered to Li Yan by her father, who was consumed by power and ambition. Li Yan had won countless military honors and was like a nightmare to the Yin Kingdom. His terrible reputation could stop children from crying at night. The forest canopy blocked out the sky. Thorny branches and mist shrouded the path, dogs barked incessantly, and cavalry surged forward. Nan Yuan's skirt caught on the thorns, and tears of despair filled her eyes. Just as she was trapped with nowhere to run, he leaned down from his tall horse and held out a hand. "You were the one who ran into me." His voice was low and hoarse, like that of a Rakshasa demon. Li Yan was always cool toward her. His narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes scrutinized her, and his deep gaze was full of disdain, as if she were insignificant prey. "Don't entertain any wishful thinking." Nan Yuan said nothing and lowered her head obediently. She had other plans: she needed to use his power to clear her mother's name, though her mother had died unjustly. At last, the culprit who had poisoned her mother was executed. During an autumn hunt, Nan Yuan, who had prepared for a long time, seized her chance and fell from a cliff. With the help of her servants, she escaped alive. Li Yan discovered that whenever he looked into the eyes of this lowly maid, he could see visions. Li Yan scoffed. He was determined to become a wise ruler. How could he let a woman's charms tie his hands and feet? So he kept her by his side and watched her warily at every turn. Again and again, he tried to convince himself that she was nothing but a lowly palace maid. But on the day she jumped off a cliff right in front of him, Li Yan held her fallen hair ribbon, lost and bewildered. Author's setting: When the male and female leads look at each other, if the female lead is cursing the male lead in her heart, he can see visions of a past life.
