Nongyu

A flower on a high peak is driven mad by love and falls from the altar.

A proud, innocent, muddleheaded girl & a cool, scheming, unhinged big bad wolf

The little princess of Chen, Jiang Qingye, is spoiled by nature, bright and charming, and peerlessly noble.

On the day the hostage princes from various kingdoms enter the palace, she spots Shen Moyao at a glance. Cool and distant, like an immortal banished from the heavens, he catches her fancy, and she takes him for herself.

Though Shen Moyao is a powerless hostage, he remains neither servile nor arrogant. Faced with Jiang Qingye's innocent yet cruel teasing, he shows neither pleasure nor displeasure and never once gives her a second glance.

But the more he acts that way, the more Jiang Qingye wants to play with him. She longs to see him bow to her and fall into the mortal world.

One rainy night, assassins attack. Ignoring Shen Moyao's attempts to stop her, she pretends to be afraid and burrows into his arms, trembling. "Brother, I'm scared."

The girl in his arms is so delicate and lovely that the young man's ears turn red. For the first time, ripples stir in his frost-bound, dark teal eyes, and he seems a little flustered. He freezes for a moment, then restrains himself and reaches out to protect her.

Jiang Qingye presses her lips together, hiding a smile.

Hah, and here I thought he would be difficult. Turns out he's no different from those other men.

She loses interest and grows bored.

Not long afterward, she lies on a chaise longue, lazily watching Shen Moyao read by the window, cool as a pine on a mountain. Suddenly, her expression turns listless. "You can go."

Shen Moyao: "Then I'll come again tomorrow..."

Jiang Qingye: "Don't come back after today. I'm engaged, and I don't want him to get the wrong idea."

Shen Moyao's fingertips pause. "...As Your Highness commands."

After that, he never appears before Jiang Qingye again. It is only much later that she learns he has already returned to his own kingdom.

When Shen Moyao enters Chen again, he has an army of a hundred thousand behind him.

In the great hall, the once-high-and-mighty little princess is thrown down before him. Her brother trembles as he begs for mercy. "I heard that Your Highness and this woman had a great deal of enmity back then. I now hand her over to you, to do with as you please."

Shen Moyao looks at Jiang Qingye, disheveled but still breathtakingly beautiful, kneeling before the steps. His gaze is dark and heavy, and he says nothing.

His eyes drop to the bright red wedding dress.

The world thinks he has come for revenge. Only he knows that all he has ever wanted is Jiang Qingye.

Break her. Take revenge on her.

Then make her his.
