Who Wants to Watch Him Burn for His Sins?

Lu Xiurong had been in love with Su Shihe for five years.

She did everything she could to please him, even personally cooking and doing his laundry.

All she got in return was his judgment:

"All you know how to do is a servant's work."

Later, he brought home her widowed elder sister, and the two stood side by side, exchanging tender glances.

No one cared about her, his nominal princess consort.

Only then did Lu Xiurong understand what he looked like when he truly loved someone.

It was all right. She had always been obedient. She ought to let him have what he wanted.

So, on a bright and sunny day, she wrote her own letter of divorce and left without looking back.

Su Shihe had always known that Lu Xiurong loved him.

He was smug about it and took her feelings for granted.

He had never imagined that she would leave one day.

Su Shihe scoffed at the idea, convinced she was just using a ploy to make him chase her.

All he had to do was bring her back and coax her for a few days.

Until one day, he found her treasuring another man's hair and laughing and flirting with him.

She looked like someone Su Shihe had never seen before.

Consumed by jealousy, Su Shihe could only kneel before her and beg.

"Xiurong, look at me too."

Lu Xiurong did glance over, but only to casually brush his clothes aside.

Her smile was radiant.

"You're getting my sweetheart's shoes dirty."

She spent five years apart from her sweetheart. Who wants to watch him suffer through a groveling redemption arc?

Preorder: The Crown Prince Has Been Plotting to Win Me Over

The day Su Ying learned her fiance had died, her father sent her to the Crown Prince's residence in a sedan chair.

When her red veil was lifted, she lowered her eyes and held back her tears. She heard the young man speak gently.

"Miss Su, I know how you feel. Your father's actions were not my wish."

His voice was so gentle that Su Ying couldn't help relaxing her tense heart.

To avoid her father sending her off to another man, Su Ying accepted Yan Zhuo'an's suggestion.

She would live safely in the Crown Prince's residence and pretend to be in love with him. In reality, they would each live their own lives without interfering with one another, and she could continue to grieve for her fiance.

But as the years passed, her fiance's face grew increasingly blurred in her memory, and she began to want something else.

She wanted Yan Zhuo'an to care only for her, just as he did in their pretense, and to love her with all his heart.

Once Su Ying understood her feelings, she finally stopped him one morning and stammered out a confession.

In response, Yan Zhuo'an's eyes turned dark, and he kissed her gently, holding back his desire.

From then on, they were a real married couple, sweet as honey. Su Ying was as happy as she had been in childhood.

For a long time, she thought she was simply lucky to have such a wonderful husband, and that she had been the first to fall in love.

Until the day they held their wedding ceremony again.

By chance, Su Ying stumbled upon Yan Zhuo'an in a secret chamber filled with portraits of her naked. His expression was vicious as he tortured her long-dead fiance, one knife stroke at a time.

"A Ying finally loves me. What are you to her?"

Crown Prince Yan Zhuo'an is famed for his noble character and luminous virtue.

Only he knows that he is, in truth, obsessive and cruel, willing to use any means necessary.

To claim his beloved, he pressured her father, imprisoned her lover, and lured her in step by step.

Until she sees his true nature and tries to run.

With bloodshot eyes, Yan Zhuo'an presses the knife handle into her hand and leans against her knees.

"A Ying loves me. She'll love me forever. All right?"
