My Stepson Took Me by Force

On the first night Shu Yu was carried into the prince's manor, the prince died suddenly, leaving her the most awkward presence in the household.

When the servants asked Heir Apparent Xie Changqing what to do with Shu Yu, he had a face as handsome as jade. Rubbing his jade pendant, he said mildly, "Give her some money and send her away."

No one knew that, in the dark of midnight, Shu Yu was soaked through, while Xie Changqing held her delicate jade-like feet, their golden bells dangling, in his palm and toyed with them over and over...

-

Xie Changqing inherited the title, and Shu Yu became a princess consort overnight. The whole city was abuzz with gossip, and everyone wished she would fall hard from her lofty position.

But reality confounded them all. Even after Xie Changqing was entrusted by the late emperor to serve as regent, his princess consort's position remained as secure as ever.

Some even heard that when the princess consort threw a tantrum, the decisive Regent would personally brave the winter cold after court, line up in the north of the city to buy her favorite chestnut cakes, then gallop back to the manor to apologize.

"Yuyu, I promise I won't do anything else tonight. Please don't send me to the study, all right?"

-

The first time Xie Changqing saw Shu Yu, he wanted to possess her. The more he tried to suppress that desire, the more it grew like wild grass.

Until his dear father died suddenly.

He knew his chance had come...

*The heroine hadn't even met the old prince before he died. She had never seen him before, so they were practically strangers.

*1v1, both leads' first times. The male lead is gentle and refined in public, proper and self-controlled, but in private he is a scheming wolfhound who takes what he wants by force.
