A Gift for the Villain

[Complete] A seductive beauty X a mad, formidable tragic hero

· A possessive romance with two substitutes, a mad hero who bends for love

After a treacherous official took one too many glances at her during a palace banquet, Shen Fuxi, the daughter of a disgraced official, was sent to work as a spy at his side.

Shen Fuxi witnessed Wei Sha's ruthless methods. He was a complete madman, a prolific killer whose moods could change in an instant.

She feared for her life, but unexpectedly survived. Instead, she became his plaything, serving him night after night.

Shen Fuxi tried to escape but couldn't. Only later did she learn that Wei Sha had been treating her as a substitute.

That made things even easier.

Everyone has an ideal love, doesn't she? Wei Sha looked a lot like hers.

The cautious Shen Fuxi grew bolder, and her attempts to seduce him became more and more brazen.

She had no idea she was falling step by step into the tight web he had spun around her.

But just then, the childhood friend with whom she shared a mutual love returned to the capital...

*

Because Shen Fuxi looked like the woman he loved, Wei Sha spared her life.

But the woman before him grew more and more familiar, until he finally realized that Shen Fuxi was the woman he loved.

Just as Wei Sha's possessiveness toward her was nearing a pathological level, he learned that she had loved her childhood friend for a long time.

The man even had a resemblance to him.

At first, Wei Sha had briefly treated Shen Fuxi as a substitute. But in the end, he was the substitute.

She'd said she liked his eyes and loved kissing them.

Wei Sha went mad with fury and dragged her back after she ran away.

Looking down coldly at the trembling beauty with tears in her eyes, Wei Sha sneered. "What a devoted pair of lovers. How dare you think of another man while you were in my bed?"

He would build her a golden cage and hide her away.

Note: The hero is completely unhinged and has a hidden identity.

Coming next: Golden Palace, Jade Hall, a pseudo-sibling romance with a possessive love

The late emperor once took a minister's wife by force. Yongning was the unwanted baggage her mother brought into the palace.

One day, the young emperor went to a temple to pray for blessings and saw Princess Yongning, who had lived there for years, being bullied. He brought her back to the palace and took great care of her.

Everyone praised the young emperor for his kindness and magnanimity.

Yongning respected and admired her imperial brother, and behaved herself to win his favor.

But there was something strange and sinister in the way her brother looked at her, like a wolf eyeing its prey...

Then one reckless night changed their previously innocent sibling relationship.

At the time, Yongning was three days away from her engagement.

A senior palace matron taught the "naive and inexperienced" Yongning about married life.

At night, her imperial brother checked what she had learned that day, down to the smallest detail.

On the eve of the wedding, her betrothed's family was convicted and executed, and the marriage was called off.

Only, the Golden Palace, Jade Hall gained a beauty who spent her days and nights pleasing the emperor.

In the dim candlelight, the young emperor gently wiped away her tears. "Your brother taught you everything himself, little sister. How could he bear to let you serve another man?"

*

Not long after, Yongning ran away, and the young emperor searched for her like a madman.

In a water town south of the Yangtze, the young emperor saw her leaning against another man's chest, laughing and talking happily. It was the same intimate pose they had once shared.

So the man she had always loved was right before her.

The young emperor laughed coldly in fury. "You're carrying my child, little sister. Where do you think you're going to run?"

From then on, the candles in the lonely Golden Palace, Jade Hall burned through every night, until Yongning became pregnant.

Upcoming story, Big Sister: A seemingly untouchable beauty, pursued in the shadows

Long ago, her father brought home the orphaned son of an old friend and raised him.

Years passed, and the boy who had once lived under another's roof became a rising star at court.

The sickly Xue Yutang came to the capital seeking treatment and stayed at the Gu residence.

She was glad that, when Gu Ruzhang had lived under her family's roof, she'd looked after the boy who was a year younger than her.

When they met again, they were both respectful and courteous.

Gu Ruzhang did everything he could to find her a doctor and treatment, respecting and honoring her as he softly called her, "Big Sister."

Xue Yutang thought they would get along as well as they had before, until one day she discovered a secret passage in her room...

It led to his room.

The walls of his hidden chamber were covered in portraits of her.

The silk handkerchiefs she had misplaced and the discarded drafts she'd thrown away were all there.

A little notebook recorded her likes and dislikes, and every detail of her daily life, from what she ate and wore to where she went.

It turned out he'd harbored feelings for her from the moment they met.

Xue Yutang was terrified and uneasy.

She tried to escape, only to find that Gu Ruzhang had locked the door tight.

The man, who seemed as pure as the breeze and bright as the moon, pressed her at every step. "Big Sister, where are you going? Are you trying to run because you found out?"

*

In the eyes of the world, Gu Ruzhang was a man of impeccable manners, a favorite of the emperor, and an untouchable beauty.

But only he knew how despicable his feelings were for the big sister who had once cared for him.

He had been wondering how to bring her to the capital, and fate had handed him the perfect opportunity.

Gu Ruzhang had held back for years, planning to confess once he had made a name for himself. But before he could get the words out, he saw her boating on a lake with a young nobleman, holding a bunch of peonies and gazing tenderly at the man beside her.

He smiled coldly, his expression dark and obsessive.

So Big Sister wanted to marry another man. That would never do.

*

Xue Yutang married, but lost a stretch of her memory and couldn't remember anything about it. All she knew was that her husband was her childhood sweetheart, a rising star at court.

They were deeply in love after marriage, sweet as honey.

But gradually, Xue Yutang sensed that something was wrong. When her memories finally returned, she discovered that the man she had wanted to marry was someone else.

Xue Yutang packed her things and fled, but a galloping horse blocked her path.

Gu Ruzhang watched her coldly. The swelling beneath her dress could no longer be hidden. "My wife, you're pregnant. Do you still want to run?"
