In the third year after Song Yushu was sent away to marry for peace, the iron cavalry of Great Chen stormed the gates of Jisang Palace. Raging flames consumed the entire royal palace.
Amid the towering blaze, she saw a familiar figure seated upright atop a tall steed, proudly poised in full armor, a bloodied longsword in hand as he surveyed everything from above.
But when he saw her, the bloodthirsty murderous intent in his eyes vanished, leaving only the joy of finding what he had lost, like dead wood brought back to life in spring.
He was the new emperor of Great Chen, her elder brother.
Later, her ex-husband, who had been fleeing from place to place, appeared and clamped her tightly against him as a bargaining chip.
Shuo Heng sneered at Song Zheng. "If you want to kill me, you'll have to kill your sister first. My wife and I will live and die together, "
Before he could finish the word "die," a blade slashed his throat, and warm, bright-red blood spattered across Song Yushu's beautiful, pale cheek.
The heavy stench of blood assaulted her senses. Her legs gave way, and she fell into someone's broad chest.
As consciousness blurred, she heard him say softly, "She can only ever be my wife."
Only then did she realize that her imperial brother harbored such feelings for her!
Song Yushu wanted to run away, even secretly going to ask the Empress Dowager to arrange a marriage for her.
But he bound her hands and feet and threw her onto a large bed draped in red curtains!
Song Zheng pinched her chin and murmured, "My Yushu wants to marry someone again."
Song Yushu guiltily avoided his eyes, timidly calling him, "Elder Brother..." in an attempt to plead for his mercy.
But the man's rough thumb rubbed firmly over her delicate lips, and a glint of coldness flashed through Song Zheng's eyes.
"Rrrip!" The sound of fabric tearing rang throughout the bedchamber.
"So Yushu is willing to marry anyone at all. She just won't marry me."
"Then how about this: for every man you marry, I'll wipe out his entire clan?"

Chu Qitang thought she was truly blessed.
Born the youngest legitimate daughter of a Duke's household, she grew up adored by everyone. At seventeen, she fell in love with a rising general at court, and they were inseparable for ten years.
But on her birthday, she discovered that her husband had kept a mistress for over a decade, and that they had two children together!
Chu Qitang was devastated and cried herself into a serious illness.
When she awoke, she saw her remorseful, weeping husband kneeling beside her bed, with a familiar figure standing nearby.
Her good-natured elder brother, Chu YunzhI, who was as noble and bright as the moon, hurled a divorce agreement into Pei Lingchuan's face.
His smiling eyes glinted with chilling menace as he said softly:
"Sign it, or your mistress and children will not live to see another day."
Chu YunzhI took his younger sister home and cared for her meticulously. He even personally brought her medicine every day.
Everyone praised the Duke. Though born of a concubine, he was as clear and bright as the moon, and loved his sister more than life itself. He was truly the finest of elder brothers.
But Chu Qitang increasingly felt something was wrong.
Her brother always looked at her with a strange, burning intensity. At the slightest touch, his ears would turn crimson and desire would stain his eyes.
She began to grow afraid and wanted to run away.
After all, Chu YunzhI was not related to her by blood. He was an adopted son her father had brought home years ago. When she was little, not understanding what it meant, she had even said she wanted to marry her brother!
But it was too late.
As her carriage traveled along the road, a piercing whinny cut through the night.
The world spun, and Chu Qitang landed safely in someone's cold embrace.
Chu YunzhI kissed her forehead tenderly.
"Dear little sister, what will it take for you to keep your promise and marry your big brother?"
His cool, slender fingers slid downward and pinched her delicate ankle through her skirt.
His voice by her ear was as eerie as a ghost's: "Would I have to break it here?"
He could never bring himself to do that.
But Chu Qitang broke out in a cold sweat.
Theme: Love yourself first, then love someone else.
