Revising as inspiration strikes. Possessive coercion, marriage first, love later.
Kill the aged, tyrannical King of the Central Plains.
That was the mission of Liuyue, a Miaojiang holy maiden sent into the Central Plains.
Before she could even reach the capital, her group was ambushed.
Liuyue stumbled into a narrow alley, where she unexpectedly came upon a man who had just set a whole household ablaze and slaughtered everyone inside.
To stay alive, Liuyue didn't have time to think. "If you save me, I'll do anything, my lord."
The man lowered his eyes and looked at her with amusement. "Anything?"
That was the first time he saved her.
The King of the Central Plains died before Liuyue even entered the capital. Everyone believed she had used a poison curse to kill him, and they took her to the execution grounds.
Just as she was about to fight to the death, a voice rang out in the distance.
"The Regent has arrived!"
To survive, Liuyue bit her red lips and, fighting her fear, stumbled over to fall at Xiao Yuche's feet, her eyes glistening with tears. "My lord, save me."
The man gripped her chin and ordered his men to take her back to the palace and settle her there.
That was the second time he saved her.
But she never expected to be trapped in the palace.
Liuyue couldn't read Xiao Yuche's intentions, and plagued by nightmares, she kept dreaming of the night she had first arrived in the Central Plains and seen him slaughter an entire household. It left her terrified.
So she acted obedient on the surface while secretly trying to figure out how to escape.
Before long, she packed her belongings and fled. But she hadn't even reached the city gate before Xiao Yuche caught her and brought her back.
"You were the one who came after me first." Xiao Yuche narrowed his eyes, rubbing his thumb over the ankle adorned with a silver bell. "Run again, and I'll break your legs."

Later, one night, the wavering candlelight went out, leaving only a wisp of smoke.
The cold wind howled in the darkness. Liuyue shivered and curled up, making the golden chain around her ankle clink. The man's malicious laugh sounded by her ear again.
"Are you still going to run?"

● A delicate, false princess from the Central Plains vs. the chief of a grassland tribe
● Battle among suitors | Possessive coercion | Political marriage | Marriage first, love later | Both leads sexually inexperienced
-
Song Zhiyin has red lips, bright teeth, and delicate dark brows. She depends on her elder brother, who entered officialdom at a young age.
The foolish ruler cannot stand against the grasslands, yet is unwilling to offer up his own daughter. So he sets his sights on Song Zhiyin, threatens her with her brother's life, and orders her to take the princess's place in a political marriage on the grasslands.
After marrying the old khan, Song Zhiyin clearly notices the princes looking at her with eyes gleaming like hungry wolves.
Within days, the old khan dies suddenly in bed, and the grassland regime falls into turmoil. The eldest prince takes her away in the name of protecting her.
When he forcibly tears open her clothes, the youngest prince, Wugele, saves her.
Looking at the woman, pale with fright and huddled in a corner, the man maintains a respectful expression, but his gaze is predatory. "Peace be with you, Khatan."
-
As the youngest tribal chief, Wugele commands the armies of the grasslands, and almost no one dares defy him.
Until Song Zhiyin's false-princess identity is exposed. Wugele brings her into his tent, his face dark with anger.
"I'm your khatan. You can't..."
Wugele's lips curl. "I'll become the new khan. I have the right to inherit everything from the previous khan, including you, Khatan."
Theme: What you never forget will surely find its way back to you.
The paragraph comment function is turned on, but no conditions are set. Please give it a try~qvq
Is it time to write the copy?
That is to say, Shun Mu is somewhat pitiful 😂
I would like to recommend the ancient story crematorium that my friends are serializing! "The concubine is reborn, the prince chases his wife to the crematorium" by Guan Yu
Come on!!!!
God, why does the third prince call the male protagonist his uncle and the female protagonist his sister-in-law? Aren't there differences in seniority between the male and female protagonists? Shouldn't the third prince be called Auntie???
With tears in my eyes, please release the pre-order and ask for collection! Everyone will open QVQ - "Is the fake eunuch in the crematorium today?" The charming and willful eldest princess x the paranoid and ascetic fake eunuch, robbed each other - "Cangshan Crossing" Aristocratic female general X, general Qing Leng fell for love - In "Beauty Gazing", the delicate fake princess from the Central Plains x the leader of the prairie tribe was robbed after getting married? - "Be Submissive to Her" The down-and-out daughter x the Beijing boss, his little canary flew away (chasing his wife)
Kiss, kiss, hey, spread the flowers!
Wow wow wow! Are you about to run away? Is it almost time to write the copy?!!
Ah, the heroine didn't seem to be a selfish and heartless persona in the early stage. In order to save the girl and the tribe, she gave the medicine to the Holy Son before the poison struck. Why did the Holy Son die and the heroine became a selfish and heartless persona? After all, she was the one who traveled thousands of miles to bring the antidote and saved her life.
