After Rejecting the Capture Mission, I Became the New Emperor's White Moonlight

[Crematorium Arc] [Male Lead Torture] [A Heartless Man Goes Mad]

Sheng Xi transmigrates into the body of the Yu Kingdom's emperor's elder sister, Princess Huazhao.

The extravagant princess lives in lavish luxury, building golden houses and lofty terraces, and spends every day drinking and indulging herself. She is about to marry her third husband.

Sheng Xi: Money and a husband just fell from the sky?

Sheng Xi: Claim now, 111111!

Her future husband is a wonderful man, with cool, refined features and a gentle, handsome face. He is everything Sheng Xi could want. More importantly, he is tender, considerate, careful, and respectful. Even the sachet she gives him, sewn with crooked stitches, is carefully tucked close to his heart.

Falling for him is only natural.

But on the eve of their engagement, Sheng Xi happens to discover that the indulgent, gentle man wipes the back of his hand, which she touched, over and over, his eyes full of indifference and mockery.

[Ding-dong!] The System finally comes online, late as ever.

[Hello, Host. Our scan shows that the Great Yu will fall in 180 days. Please win over the male lead and achieve a happy ending to avert the kingdom's destruction.]

[Possible story beats include, but are not limited to: a broken leg, claiming a deer is a horse, a miscarriage, kneeling...]

Sheng Xi: Wait. Maybe we should talk about the kingdom's destruction instead.

-

After ten years as a hostage and ten years of pretending and enduring, Li Huaizhuo has never once stopped wanting to destroy the Yu Kingdom.

After years of plotting and coordinating with allies inside and out, he finally brings his army to the gates.

Everything goes according to plan, except that Sheng Xi is somewhat different from the rumors.

More foolish, more naive, and much easier to deceive.

On the day the city is attacked, Li Huaizhuo calmly gives his orders: Every member of the Yu royal family is to be beheaded. As for Princess Sheng Xi, to show mercy, he will spare her life. But as a princess of a fallen kingdom, she is too lowly to be a wife and can only be a concubine.

Before he can finish speaking, Sheng Xi climbs onto the city wall. Without makeup or hair ornaments, she turns around and gazes at the people of Great Yu for a long time, then offers a relieved, gentle smile.

She leaps.

When the kingdom stands, its people stand; when the kingdom falls, its people fall. Plunging to her death is the fate of a princess of a fallen kingdom. And at last, she can go home.

[Sincere and devoted, a princess who gives everything for her people x Arrogant and heartless, a paranoid and mad prince]

At first, Li Huaizhuo despises Sheng Xi. He sets a trap with his own hands and watches coldly as she struggles.

Later, he abandons everything, sets up a memorial tablet and names her empress, and descends into madness while fully aware. He cuts out his bones and flesh and offers his life to Heaven, asking only that she return.
