After I Used and Abandoned the Rebel

Lu Siyao didn't like Lou Kuo, but she loved provoking him, because she knew he would become the traitor who helped King Nancheng ascend the throne.

She wanted the whole world to know that Lou Kuo had an improper entanglement with her, the emperor's legitimate daughter, and make King Nancheng question whether he could still trust his jade-faced general.

On a freezing, snowy night, she sent his horse away so he would have to stay with her all night, deliberately spreading scandalous rumors that the princess and General Lou were intimately involved.

During disaster relief, she injured her jade-like hand and insisted that only he bandage it. When she ran a high fever in the dead of night, she allowed only him to keep watch.

In the stillness of the night, she would murmur his name as if her love had sunk into her very bones and could no longer be restrained.

A young heart stirred like spring sweeping across a wasteland. In an instant, plants sprouted, flourishing like summer.

But when King Nancheng, who had been far away in his fief, appeared and chatted amiably with Lou Kuo like brothers, Lu Siyao finally understood how ridiculous everything she had done was. She had not shaken their bond in the slightest.

That night, she fled in disarray and never laid eyes on Lou Kuo again.

The ridiculous part was that her foolish father believed she truly loved Lou Kuo. An imperial decree came down, and she was to become his wife.

But she did not want to die. Even if the land was about to fall apart and the nation was doomed, she still wanted to live.

So a secret passage was built in the princess's residence, leading to freedom on the other side.

On the day of the wedding, flames consumed the entire princess's residence. Everyone mourned, saying the princess had burned to death. Only her husband, Lou Kuo, rode away with a dark expression.

Gazing at the vast river of stars, Lu Siyao thought she was free. Little did she know that a striking red figure was slowly emerging from the darkness.

With a face as beautiful as jade and wedding robes on, his shadowed eyes were red, though he wore a smile as he closed in step by step. "Why did you run? Does Your Highness no longer like me?"

"I am not some cat or dog for Your Highness to summon and dismiss whenever she pleases!"

Four years ago, his young heart had stirred, but she rejected him in public, saying he was not the man she loved. Perhaps she had even forgotten she had rejected him.

Four years later, she deliberately provoked him and lured him in, only to walk away just as he was falling for her again.

Now, he would make sure she could never escape!

Please check out and bookmark my next novel, I'm Just a Side Character, a Minor One!

Dai Deng Deng is a miserable corporate drone exploited by modern society. One day, she drops dead from overwork and transmigrates into a xianxia novel, becoming a minor character who doesn't even have a name in the book.

This character is supposed to be sacrificed in a blood ritual after the villain breaks free of his seal, then promptly kick the bucket.

On the day the villain breaks free, Dai Deng Deng trembles and lies there pretending to be dead, silently repeating, He can't see me, he can't see me, he can't see me.

Who would have thought she'd be grabbed by the back of the neck and lifted like a little chick, beginning her miserable life as the demon lord's blood supply?

The demon lord breaks free of his seal badly wounded. One bite from her, and his health bar is full!

The immortal sects surround the demon lord, leaving him covered in wounds. One bite from her, and his power surges!

The demon lord is in a bad mood and can't suppress the demonic energy in his body, so he wants to bite her again and again!

Dai Deng Deng covers her neck, rolls up her sleeve, and holds out her hand. "Stop biting my neck. Bite my hand instead."

Her inner thoughts: I'm going to fight back and sing the song of the liberated serfs!

Before she can finish acting tough, a man's large hand covers the back of her neck. A warm sensation spreads across her skin, and her neck gets bitten again.

Dai Deng Deng always thought she was just a nobody. She flattered and buttered up the demon lord, treating him like a boss who could exploit her however he pleased, all in the hope of staying alive a little longer.

But the immortal sects kept shouting for her blood. At first they paid her no mind, but later the entire sect world joined in the hunt for her.

Captured and covered in wounds, Dai Deng Deng gave a bitter smile. "Is this really necessary? I'm just a side character, a minor one!"

The demon lord, Lan Qing, gripped her neck and forced her to look him in the eye. His voice was cold and mocking. "Are you still going to run?"
