The Obsessed Empress Goes Mad for Me

Lin He had a difficult childhood and was cared for by the Shen family from a young age. Before she knew it, she had come to value them more than her own life, and she cared for Shen Biyun with all her heart.

Yan Fusheng was the empress of the Jiuzhou Continent. She spent her life scheming, manipulating power, and using ruthless methods to harm even her own kin. She had no one close to her, and died alone. While she was alive, there were two things she could never let go of:

First, Lin He had once looked down on her, the most exalted person in the land.

Second, Lin He had gone to her death without hesitation for Shen Biyun's sake.

What was Shen Biyun, anyway? She wasn't as beautiful as Yan Fusheng, or as clever, or even as devoted to Lin He as Yan Fusheng was. What right did she have to compare herself with Yan Fusheng?

Reborn, Yan Fusheng plots at every turn, carefully setting everything up to seduce Lin He, deceive her, and use the Shen family to threaten her, forcing Lin He to give herself to Yan Fusheng and agree to a bargain:

Yan Fusheng will help Lin He save the members of the Shen family. In return, Lin He must bear Yan Fusheng a child and help her produce an heir to the throne.

Yan Fusheng knows very well that Lin He carries the blood of a divine dragon. If she can make use of it, it will surely help her secure her empire. Any heir born of their union will surely be extraordinarily gifted, peerless in the world.

Everything that followed went just as Yan Fusheng wanted. Lin He not only became her lover, but also risked her life for her, standing against a hundred enemies when she was in danger, feeding her blood when she was near death, helping her eliminate rivals and secure her imperial authority.

Yan Fusheng got the princess she wanted, but the princess had to be raised by the empress and emperor, so Lin He never once saw the child.

Aside from a title and status, Yan Fusheng gave Lin He everything she was owed and kept every promise she made.

She spent her whole life scheming. She was sure Lin He would go soft on her, and sure Lin He would help her gain power. But in the end, she never expected that Lin He would leave her by having her bones removed and blood changed, destroying her own face, crippling her cultivation, and faking her death on the road to exile.

From then on, she lived free and unrestrained, like a wild crane among the clouds.

Yan Fusheng was left alone, wandering the vast palace day after day, mad and delirious, and spent the rest of her life unable to find even a trace of Lin He.

Notes and content warnings:

1. The one who did the chasing has to grovel for forgiveness. The story opens after the faked death.

2. The empress has an empress consort, appointed to win over powerful allies, but she is deposed after only a few years.

3. Both leads are sexually exclusive. At first, the empress cares only about her career. Later, she cares only about Lin He. Lin He loves only the empress from beginning to end.

[Important] One more content warning: midway through the story, the empress is humiliated. Specifically, a villain controls her, forces a kiss on her, and tears her clothes (exposing her thighs). If you can't handle that, please don't read! This is a groveling-for-forgiveness story! A groveling-for-forgiveness story! Both the gong and the shou are put through painful situations!

Theme: No matter what your circumstances are, stay true to your principles and be a good, honest person. You'll find the love that's meant for you.
