[Powerful Possessive Love / The Aloof Beauty Goes Mad for Love: Please Add My Amnesiac Bridegroom to Your Reading List, Now Ongoing]

A possessive, jealous, devoted madman × a dazzling, kindhearted young noblewoman

My friend’s fantasy romance, Please Tune In to the Paid Dating Show at 2:30 A.M., by Yi Xiaoxiao

Regent Wang Weisheng Che is ruthless and bloodthirsty, making everyone avoid him. Yet his handsome face and power as The Outcast still attract plenty of women hoping to become his princess consort.

But he chose to bring a minister’s disgraced daughter into his home, and even pleaded with the emperor on her behalf.

Everyone envied her good fortune, but none knew that in Weisheng Che’s hazy, troubled past, she was his only salvation.

*

On their wedding day, rumors spread through the court and among the common people. Yet they saw ten grand bridal sedan chairs and red silk filling the streets, as the disgraced minister’s daughter entered the Regent’s palace in splendid bridal attire.

The wedding ceremony was on a par with an empress’s.

On their wedding night, Song Qiyuan’s eyes were red as she choked out, “This humble subject thanks Your Highness for saving my life.”

Weisheng Che brushed his thumb over the corner of her reddened eyes. Looking down at her, he spoke with deliberate gentleness: “If the princess consort wishes to thank me, she should do what is expected of her, not offer mere words.”

*

Three years into their marriage, no one had seen the princess consort’s face, and the couple were rarely seen together.

So rumors spread that they were long estranged, united in appearance but not in heart.

But when the princess consort later died unexpectedly, he went mad and sent condemned criminals to their deaths as her burial attendants. Amid a sea of blood, he took his own life in her coffin, their fingers entwined.

*

After being reborn, they met again on a snowy night.

The once all-powerful Regent had become a docile little wolfhound at her side. He openly and unabashedly showed her his love, but she was afraid to accept even a fraction of it.

Until one day, the emperor issued an edict ordering Song Qiyuan to marry a foreign ruler in place of the Grand Princess.

That night, Weisheng Che defied the emperor’s decree and stormed into her room.

Spring rain washed the blood away outside. Inside, he pressed her against the table, and a bloodstained dagger slashed across the imperial edict.

His eyes were bloodshot, the emotion in them seeming ready to devour her. “Since you’re so eager to become someone’s wife, I’ll grant your wish.”

Reading Guide:

1. There are hidden circumstances surrounding their past lives. The male lead never harmed the female lead, but his brutal, obsessive methods may initially make her fear him.

2. Both leads are virgins, one-on-one romance, happy ending, sweet romance with no angst. This is a fictional setting, so please don’t overanalyze it.

3. The male lead will regain his memories and learn that he has been reborn.

Shen Qingwan is a princess sent from a small foreign kingdom to the capital to marry. Though she is the crown prince’s consort in name, she has none of the honor or splendor.

On their wedding night, she is drenched with a basin of cold water. Crown Prince Xie Ying sits in a wheelchair, dressed in black, his dark eyes cold and his voice frostily sharp: “Take off your wedding dress. It’s an eyesore.”

She knows he means to humiliate her, but to stay alive, she has no choice but to obey.

By the time she is left in nothing but a snow-white undergarment, soaked through with cold water, Shen Qingwan’s eyes are red-rimmed and glistening with tears. She trembles as she pleads, “Your Highness…”

But Xie Ying looks at her with contempt and snaps, “Get out.”

*

For the sake of her people, Shen Qingwan endures humiliation to win the crown prince’s favor.

She deliberately molds herself into the image of the woman he calls his moonlight. Xie Ying knows what she is doing, but only becomes more cruel.

In winter, he makes her dance barefoot in the snow as a hairpin-adorned beauty. Late at night, he asks her to make the pastries from his memories. But when she finishes, he takes just one bite before throwing them to his wolfhound, saying, “Disgusting.”

*

Later, the late emperor passes away and Xie Ying ascends the throne. Just as she hopes he will order his troops to withdraw and leave her homeland a small piece of land, she receives news that her kingdom has fallen.

Shen Qingwan’s heart dies. She sweeps the candlesticks to the floor, then runs through the flames to the most secluded part of the palace. She pushes open a door and crashes into a solid chest.

She clutches the person’s sleeve, her bloodstained features all the more bewitching. “What Prince Sheng said before... I’m willing...”

Xie Zheng draws her slender waist close and gently brushes her disheveled, damp hair behind her ear. His voice is low and husky, beguiling her: “Since you want to come back to me, Qingqing, don’t even think of running away again.”

*

Everyone believes Shen Qingwan died in the fire, including Xie Ying.

Until one day, he happens to taste pastries made by Prince Sheng’s consort.

In Prince Sheng’s residence, the usually cold and composed new emperor goes mad. He grips Shen Qingwan’s wrist, his gaze tracing every inch of her face as if he means to carve her features into his very bones. His voice sounds as if he is weeping blood: “Qingqing, come home with me.”

Before she can answer, Xie Zheng’s stern voice rings out behind him: “Her home was never the palace. It’s my Prince Sheng’s residence.”
