[Scheming Emperor Top x Self-important Playboy Bottom]
1.
Qi Xuan, the youngest son of the Prince of Nanli, is a textbook spoiled playboy.
Spoiled by his father and elder brothers, he spends his days lazing about and throwing his weight around. Anything that catches his eye is carted back to his residence at a single command.
Then one day, he meets a gorgeous beauty.
The beauty has a slender waist, long legs, black hair, and skin like jade. Qi Xuan is instantly entranced. He rides up and proposes marriage.
The beauty glances at him. "Get lost!"
Qi Xuan, used to getting everything he wants, flies into a rage. He forcibly abducts the beauty and takes him home to be married.
To make the beauty give in, Qi Xuan even slips him a little drug.
On their wedding night, the newlywed beauty smiles gently and asks in a soft voice, "Could you untie me?"
Qi Xuan stares at him, completely dazzled, and unties the ropes in a daze.
By the time Qi Xuan realizes something is wrong, it's too late.
Bound hand and foot and gagged, he is tormented all night by the drugged beauty. Qi Xuan has never suffered so much, and cries until he can barely see.

When it rains, it pours. On their wedding night, a neighboring country launches a surprise attack on Nanli's capital.
Amid the clash of weapons, Qi Xuan, his body battered, takes on the heavy responsibility entrusted to him by his father and brothers:
travel to the Central Plains and ask its Emperor to send troops to help.
Before leaving, Qi Xuan takes along the beauty he forcibly married. After suffering such a humiliation, he can't let the man off without making him pay.
But shortly after they escape, the pursuing soldiers catch up. All their guards are killed, leaving only Qi Xuan and the beauty.
Qi Xuan clings to the beauty's leg, sobbing and wiping away his tears. "Please, help me get to the Central Plains."
The beauty's gaze darkens. "I can, but you have to agree to one condition."
Qi Xuan nods furiously. "I'll agree to anything."
"Good," the beauty says with a smile. Qi Xuan's heart races, but then a long list of "You are not allowed to..." follows. His lively heart promptly stops, as if struck by five thunderbolts.
First, no more flirting with other people.
Second, no more gambling dens or brothels.
Third, no more lazing about.
Just kill me!
Qi Xuan shuts his eyes in anguish and grits his teeth. "I agree."

Day after day, Qi Xuan stays by the gorgeous beauty he desires, never learning his lesson. His lust rises again, and every so often he steals a kiss or sneaks a grope.
After a journey full of chaos, they finally reach the capital of the Central Plains.
Standing in the throne hall, Qi Xuan stares at that familiar face, dumbfounded.
How could the beauty he married be the Emperor of the Central Plains?!
When you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head.
Qi Xuan tugs at the Emperor's sleeve and apologizes pitifully. "I won't flirt with you again. Please, send troops to save Nanli."
The Emperor's gaze darkens, and he chuckles softly. "I can send troops, on two conditions."
"First, keep flirting with me."
"Second, become my empress."
Qi Xuan: "…"
Qi Xuan says solemnly, "I agree."
Damn you, Gu Chengming!
Qi Xuan rubs his nearly broken back as he struggles to get up. Whoever wants to be empress can have the job. He's running away, sob.
Before he can climb out of bed, a hand suddenly grabs Qi Xuan and pulls him into an embrace. Warm breath lingers at the side of his neck. "Why is the empress running away?"
Qi Xuan looks at that devilishly handsome face before him and regrets everything.
That beauty has ruined me!
