The Fallen Kingdom's Princess

Blurb: [Beautiful, Alluring Fallen Princess X Powerful, Domineering Ruler of an Enemy Kingdom]

A new sugary romance about a forced, possessive love, The Miao Borderlands' Young Lord and the Clueless Beauty, is coming soon. Blurb below.

[Updates daily at seven. A ruthless emperor goes mad for love. Not a strong, independent heroine story.]

The author doesn't understand the difference between sweet and tragic romance, so the result is a bit of a muddle. Read with caution.

As a fallen princess, Shen Yunluan is terrified of Qi Yu.

He's a master of political intrigue, having brought her country down without shedding a drop of blood. He is a cold-hearted, unfeeling ruler.

Everyone envies her good fortune: the emperor has taken a liking to her, she has fine clothes and endless delicacies, and the ruler treats her with tender consideration.

But they don't know it's all a trap, set to satisfy his desire to conquer her and lure her in.

After she suffers a miscarriage, Shen Yunluan is banished to an abandoned palace, left alone in the bleak, cold wind.

"A phoenix without its feathers is no better than a chicken. Does she still think she's His Majesty's favorite?"

Shen Yunluan's heart turns to ash, and at last she escapes the palace that held her captive.

For half a year, Qi Yu makes sweeping changes at court while Shen Yunluan lives peacefully among the common people. She thinks this life isn't so bad, and can see exactly where it leads.

But she never imagined she'd never truly escaped his control.

When the emperor appears again, Shen Yunluan sobs as she's forcibly locked away once more.

He makes her a consort and showers her with favor, choosing her alone from among three thousand beauties.

But Shen Yunluan has already seen through it all and wants nothing more than to leave his side.

A beautiful woman locked in the imperial palace, her youth and struggle reduced to a few lines in the official history.

What a cruel truth.

A bottle of poison that can induce a false death, which she found by chance, becomes her last hope.

Qi Yu has been cold and unfeeling all his life. Born to the imperial family, he knows that the emperor's house is the most heartless of all, and believes he has cast off all emotion.

But years ago, he happened to see a woman's innocent smile, and from then on, he harbored a desire to possess her.

He goes to any lengths to make her his.

Only later does he understand his own feelings, and by then it's too late. Through all those days of pain and regret, all he can see are her tears.

When he holds her cold body in his arms, Qi Yu goes mad.

Only then does he truly understand what it means to be utterly alone.

The rest of his life is no different. He holds the empress he married in a ghost wedding and lies down with her in the coffin.

Together in life, together in death.

Shen Yunluan can't understand why this man refuses to let her go. There are so many lovely women in the world.

Only when the ruthless emperor personally helps her become empress does she finally understand.

So he loves her.

Then he's doomed.

She schemes against him too, nearly costing Qi Yu half his life.

Extra Scene

Shen Yunluan's beautiful eyes brim with tears as she says miserably, "Your Majesty has already succeeded. You've had my body. Do you still want my life?"

Qi Yu looks at her steadily. His cold phoenix eyes suddenly burn with passion as he says, word by word, "What if I want something else?"

She feels someone lift her chin. She gazes at the handsome, proud, solitary face before her, uncertain what to make of his eyes.

In answer, a warm presence winds its way around her.

Blurb

Shi Yanluo is the Ning Le Commandery Princess of the Yu Kingdom. She is gentle and beautiful, kind and dignified, though she can be a little absent-minded at times. Her habit of tearing up whenever she's excited is a real headache.

She thought she would follow her father's orders and marry a refined young man in Chang'an, become a devoted wife and mother, and manage the household, until she took in a boy who had fainted by the roadside.

The boy is breathtakingly beautiful, worthy of being called a beauty himself, with a gentle, jade-like disposition. He stays by Shi Yanluo's side every day, his expression warm and approachable.

But sometimes he acts strangely, watching her with a smile as if deep in thought. The butterfly tattoo on his neck occasionally turns blood-red, and the little gourd shaped like a maple leaf at his waist makes strange noises...

Shi Yanluo can't make sense of it and decides not to trouble herself over it. But during a palace coup, he unexpectedly abducts her and takes her to the southern frontier!

Shi Yanluo stares in stunned silence as tears suddenly fill her eyes. "Y-you said you wanted to repay me! Is this what you meant?!"

Jiang Huo smiles meaningfully. "Yes. I have no other skills and no way to repay you, so I repay your kindness with treachery."

Shi Yanluo cries even harder.

H-he's actually this awful?!!!

Since arriving in the southern frontier, Shi Yanluo has heard that the young lord of the Miao borderlands is ruthless, loves to torture people, and never gives up until he gets what he wants. He's also sinister and unhinged, and feeds himself to poisonous creatures. Terrifying!!!

She plans to escape back to the Central Plains. Though she fails again and again, she travels beyond the frontier with Jiang Huo. They dance to lusheng music, climb flower poles, and go through all sorts of unbelievable adventures.

The young lord of the Miao borderlands is so fearsome that she keeps praying she won't run into him.

Until one day, while trying to escape again, she gets stuck in a muddy pit. By chance, she hears a thousand people kneeling outside the cave and shouting, "We welcome the young lord!"

Shi Yanluo is absolutely terrified now!!!

The moonlight is bright and cold. The wind sweeps through the cave, and Shi Yanluo sees a figure in purple with silver bells, his black hair darker than the night.

His eyes seem tinged with red, and his long lashes are bewitching.

He looks nothing like the refined, gentle young man from the daytime.

Jiang Huo approaches with a smile, kindly pulls her out of the trap, then leisurely fastens a chain around the runaway beauty.

"Xiao E, now you know what the young lord of the Miao borderlands is really like, don't you?"

The young man's voice is gentle. Seeing her pale face, he strokes the spot between her brows with a trace of tenderness and softly pleads, "If you won't be my beauty alone, the consequences will be very frightening."

His tone is so unhinged, brimming with suppressed dissatisfaction and anger.

Shi Yanluo nearly cries herself unconscious. He sweeps her into his arms, and the chain jingles as he walks.

Where is he taking her?

What does he intend to do?
