Qin Chaoyun was a young lady of the Duke's household, born with extraordinary beauty and renowned throughout Yedu.
Countless young gentlemen fell for her, and she claimed the top spot on Yedu's list of women men most wanted to marry.
In the twentieth year of the Yuanming era, at a palace banquet celebrating the emperor's birthday,
Zhou Yan, commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, wore a crimson flying-fish robe. Beneath his black gauze hat, his brows were sharp and his gaze cold. Shadows fell across his knife-sculpted face, leaving it half-lit and half-dark, just like the title he'd earned in the rumors.
The living King of Hell, feared by both men and ghosts.
As it happened, Qin Chaoyun was a sucker for a handsome face. One glance was enough to make her eyes widen slightly and resolve herself.
She had to win over Yedu's most handsome man!
Her maid, however, looked aghast. That man was Yedu's most fearsome ghost!
Every day, Zhou Yan cared about only three things: investigating cases, interrogating suspects, and closing cases. Everything else left him indifferent.
That is, until the young lady whose beauty had captivated the entire city started showing up in front of him every few days, always saying:
"Lord Zhou, why are you always trying to avoid me?"
Zhou Yan's brow twitched. Was this really the demure noblewoman everyone talked about?
Lord Zhou's face was cold as a winter star as he refused her sternly. "Young Lady, please behave with propriety."
But later, Qin Chaoyun clung to his shoulder, her breath sweet, her eyes sparkling as she spoke in a seductive voice.
"Xu Lang, why won't you look me in the eyes?"
His courtesy name was Wuxu. Hearing her call him that, he could no longer suppress the surging emotions within him. Gritting his teeth, he stared into her bewitching eyes.
"Qin Chaoyun, from this moment on, you won't be able to take it back."

Bonus scene
Recently, rumors about Changming, the young lady of the Duke's household, and the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard have been spreading like wildfire.
Young Gentleman 1: That King of Hell must be lusting after Young Lady Changming's beauty!
Young Gentleman 2: Ah, a persistent man can win over any woman! My Chaoyun!
Behind a screen painted with ladies, in a private room at a teahouse,
A man in a crimson flying-fish robe glanced at the woman before him, emotions shifting in his eyes. His voice was teasing. "A persistent man? Hmm... I suppose I am."
Chaoyun's eyes flickered. She met his phoenix eyes and smiled, affection entwining in their gazes.
Yedu's cold-faced King of Hell had, in the end, become the Xu Lang who belonged to her alone.

Possessive love / elopement while pregnant
CP: Gentle, refined noblewoman x obsessive Grand Marshal
At the founding of a new dynasty amid a chaotic age, the once-powerful Yu clan of the former dynasty fell from grace and was imprisoned.
The clan's young mistress, Yu Shu, came to the capital bearing the burden of her family's mission.
Faced with the capital's treacherous intrigues and the covetous eyes of villains, she had no choice but to offer herself to the powerful traitor, Grand Marshal Xiao Huaizhi.
In the chill of early spring, she fell into the man's arms in a thin gauze dress. Her dark eyes, usually as clear as rippling water, filled with a touching plea.
"Yu Shu has had a hard lot in life. I beg the Grand Marshal to protect me."
The man, cold as black iron, looked at her and led her into his tent.
Only later did Yu Shu learn that it had all been his scheme. He had lured her into giving up the purity and pride of a noblewoman, because what he loved most was watching her surrender beneath him.
★
On the day he went to war, he sat atop a fine horse in his armor and cloak, exchanging a look with her. In his long, cold eyes, a tender affection had somehow appeared.
Amid the blood and flashing blades of battle, trapped in an enemy ambush, he finally realized
that the new emperor and his little beauty had joined forces to get rid of him, the treacherous minister.
On her wedding night, Xiao Huaizhi arrived with murderous fury and a menacing army of armored soldiers.
He personally cut off the head of her new husband.
Yu Shu knelt on the ground, tears shimmering in her eyes as she looked up at him, blood splattered across his face. His rough fingertips, stained with blood, slowly smeared it across her red lips and white teeth as he savored the moment.
"Betray me? You've got some nerve."
★
In countless nights that followed, Yu Shu begged him through tearful eyes to spare her.
All she got in return was his scornful laugh and hatred. "Why are you crying? This is only the beginning."
No one knew that during Xiao Huaizhi's dark and joyless youth, he had secretly yearned for the same woman for many years.
Theme: Hold fast to your convictions, and you will see things through to the end.
Isn't this Rong Huan born with no brains? She likes the boss to vent her anger on others instead of fighting for it. Even though she assists, that's very annoying!
Really, like it so much. . . After reading it, I felt unfinished (tears). I hope that Nv Ge and Zhou Gou will be happy forever in parallel time and space!!
Push the new advance~ cp: cool beauty x paranoid powerful minister The new emperor ascended the throne, in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, The Yu family of the former dynasty was imprisoned, and Yu Shu came to Beijing with a mission. In order to save her family, she had to commit herself to Xiao Huaizhi, the powerful and treacherous minister. On a chilly spring day, she was wearing a gauze skirt and fell into the man's arms. Her dark eyes, which were originally filled with clear water, were filled with touching pity. "Yushu's fate is unlucky, please seek blessings from the Great Sima." She maintained her beauty, but Xiao Huaizhi pushed her into the tent with a calm face and took her into the darkness. ★ Until the day of the expedition, he was wearing battle armor and robes, standing on a fierce horse, looking at her. Da Sima, who was always known for his cold-bloodedness, actually had affection in his eyes. When he fell into an enemy trap on the battlefield, he suddenly knew: The new emperor and his beloved beauty must work together to get rid of this treacherous minister. That day, blood oozed from the tip of his knife and his armor was bright red. He ran to death three horses just to catch up with Yu Shu's wedding banquet. In the swaying wind and snow, seeing her in the wedding hall with red candles and her phoenix crown and garnet, hatred filled his pupils. For a moment, the fishy smell overflowed, Xiao Huaizhi beheaded her husband-in-law, and the Xiao family's army and horses trampled the Liang Dynasty. Yu Shu fell to her knees at his feet, tears streaming down her face, but Xiao Huaizhi's face was covered with splatters of blood. There was blood on the rough fingertips, and he smeared it on her red lips and white teeth bit by bit, turning it around wantonly, and said in a sharp tone: "I once gave you the gift of reaching for the stars and the moon, but you don't want it, but now you're afraid?" He has been galloping on the battlefield, with swords and blood shadows all these years, but he never thought that a delicate little woman could play with him. If you want to play, you can. He has plenty of means. ★ During countless nights in Furongluan tent, Yushu begged him to spare her with tears in her eyes. In exchange, all he got was the overwhelming anger that he could fight to death, "Why are you crying? This is just the beginning." No one knew that during his dark time, he had been coveting a woman for many years.
