Do Honest People Have to Be Forced into Love, Too?

She had always followed the rules, and that didn't change even after she transmigrated to ancient times.

Shen Qiao dutifully followed her parents' arrangements and married the Grand Tutor.

A year into their marriage, the two treated each other with courtesy and lived in peace.

She thought the rest of her life would be just like this, but then the former emperor died suddenly, throwing the court into turmoil.

The sixth prince, Xiao Yu, who had long been idle and down on his luck, scorned and trampled by the world, unexpectedly seized the throne with his army.

With the realm under new rule, everyone waited for the new emperor to reform the government and bring peace to the land.

But the first thing Xiao Yu did after ascending the throne was storm into the Grand Tutor's residence and forcibly take Shen Qiao away.

The cold, possessive young emperor yearned for Shen Qiao's warmth and kindness. Back then, all he could do was gaze at her from afar.

Now that he had power, he kept her imprisoned at his side, never leaving her day or night.

The honest girl was so delicate she could barely put up a fight. Xiao Yu subdued her with ease and held her tightly in his arms. She stopped struggling.

Sometimes he would speak of the tragedies of his past, watching Shen Qiao furrow her brows in pity. Xiao Yu would smile, wrap an arm around her waist, and carry her into the bedroom, where they would make love all night.
