A cold, deranged man vs. a sharp-tongued, cold-hearted woman
"That's how it is," A Yao said, lifting the handsome face of the aloof young man, twisted slightly with pain. "You've been poisoned by my gu. From now on, you're a dog at my feet."
Detailed blurb:
A Yao sets her sights on a handsome young man who has been captured and brought back to her stronghold. He's cold and solitary, and even imprisoned, he refuses to bow his proud head. But she happens to love breaking the pride of men who won't obey.
The love gu torments him until he lives in agony, and A Yao is the only cure for his pain. In just one year, she successfully trains him into a loyal dog devoted to her. He suffers only for her and feels desire only for her.
But she never imagined that a loyal dog could turn on its master. The young man breaks the gu, takes her, and repays every torment she inflicted on him many times over.
Imprisoned in the palace and trapped in bed, she finally realizes she hasn't provoked a fallen dog, but a hidden dragon from the depths.
The former Crown Prince Pei Lin disappeared without a trace. A year later, he returned in force, purged the court in blood, and reclaimed the throne.
He takes no empress and no consorts. The palace servants only know that an exotic woman is hidden in the inner palace. They hear her soft sobs and gasps every night, but Pei Lin never lets anyone see her.
A Yao resents him, fears him, and finally starts begging him. She wants to go home and promises never to provoke him again.
He only thrusts deeper and whispers a shocking secret in her ear: the gu was dead from the very beginning.
