Basking in Your Grace

Heartless female bandit × inhuman dog of an emperor | Ancient-style sweet romance, one-on-one, single-couple The borderlands of the Ye Kingdom have been plagued by war for years, and bandits run rampant. Yu Ning grew up in a bandit den and became a female bandit who ruled her own mountain. One day, she found a devastatingly handsome, battle-worn man at the foot of her mountain, brought him home, and forced him to marry her. What should she do when her husband refuses to consummate the marriage? Easy. Tie him up with a rope and make him submit. After two months of chaos, her bargain-bin husband ran away, but Yu Ning was pregnant. With the two nations at war, the emperor of Da Ye led his troops in person. Yu Ning took the opportunity to disband her bandit stronghold and turn over a new leaf. * Six years later. The missing little daughter of the Marquis of Yongning was found, and the whole family rejoiced, cherishing her like a treasure. Unfortunately, the noble lady had been dealt a cruel hand: her husband had died young, and she had raised her child alone. The marquis's wife felt sorry for her daughter's hard life and carefully selected a second husband for her. Even at the palace banquet, she kept an eye out for suitable candidates. But... Why did her daughter look at the emperor with such terror, as if she had seen a ghost? Perhaps the powerful have short memories. The emperor looked at her without a trace of emotion. Yu Ning was overjoyed, thinking she had escaped disaster. She happily went to meet the newly appointed top graduate. But before long, she was knocked unconscious and abducted by imperial guards. When she awoke, she was deep inside the palace. This was no splendid palace hall, but the emperor's private dungeon. A sharp blade pressed against her throat. The man holding it smiled with sinister amusement, as if he meant to cut her into pieces. "Your dead husband has come back to life, my lady. Are you happy to see me?" Notes: 1. A sweet reunion story with a child in tow. Don't expect tight logic. This is an alternate world with a made-up setting. 2. Please stop saying the emperor male lead's virginity is illogical, or that he isn't fit to be the male lead because he's not chaste. (Please cut this brainless author some slack on this point. Thank you, everyone.) 3. If you have high moral standards for the protagonists, don't read this!!! (If you have moral standards, why read a story about coercive love? Please click the exit button. Thank you!) Theme: True love can cross mountains and seas
