Love and hate! No escape! Twisted taboos! The heroine and other women are brutally abused, almost pathologically so. Think carefully before reading!

The sky was filled with shifting light, with the moon’s shadow and scattered stars.
Sui Ying’er cheated on her husband.
Her husband was Zhai Li, the Left Chancellor of the dynasty, a man with absolute power and a ruthless hand.
He treated her reasonably well, but Sui Ying’er felt less like his wife and more like a caged bird he kept, a delicate flower on his robe that he showed off to others.
Sui Ying’er hated being controlled and having no say in anything. Zhai Li’s excessive attention also irritated her.
One misstep led her to indulge in the affair, and she sank deeper and deeper.
Just as she was about to walk away, the secret she had buried deep in the warm pavilion was exposed before Zhai Li.
She thought Zhai Li would despise and abandon her. Though things had turned ugly, it would at least give her a way to be free.
But to her surprise, Zhai Li’s need to control her only grew stronger.
“Ying’er, do you know what you did wrong?”
With her slender wrists tied by red cord, Sui Ying’er trembled and nodded. He gave a soft laugh, his voice hoarse and chilling:
“Too late.”

Zhai Li’s life had always gone too smoothly. Power was his for the taking, and his wealth was inexhaustible... and with just a little effort, he could have anyone he wanted.
So when his canary grew strong wings and flew beyond his control, seeking comfort in another man’s arms, the feeling of someone touching what belonged to him nearly drove him mad.
What do you do when a bird won’t behave?
Clip her wings, tie her up in a cage, and put her somewhere no one can see.
He used every despicable means at his disposal to keep her by his side.
Love or hate, it didn’t matter.
Even if they were bound together for a lifetime, she could only ever be his.
Zhai Li’s perspective:
“You want to break free, but you don’t have the cunning for it.
You lose yourself in the tenderness I give you, yet you make yourself a shackle, trying to destroy yourself so I’ll back down.
What is it you really want?
You’re naive and ordinary, yet you think you’re extraordinary, stubborn to the bone.
And still, I love you.
I love you to the depths of my soul.
I love you so much I hate you, so much I want to destroy you.”
Reader’s guide:
1. The heroine is rather foolish early on. After she’s broken, she starts getting smarter. She’s not a perfect character.
2. The story doesn’t use princesses, only commandery princesses. The setting borrows from the Song Dynasty but isn’t historically rigorous, so please don’t nitpick every word.
3. The heroine is not chaste; the hero is very chaste.
4. This is a dark story with women being abused. Both the heroine and other women suffer. There are no good people in the whole story, and it’s angsty from beginning to end. The heroine’s character is designed to make it very difficult for her to turn things around, but she will strike back later.

Two men teach her: one, gentle as an immortal, teaches her kindness; the other, cruel and vicious, teaches her the harshness of the world.
The one who seems like an immortal will eventually take her.
The cruel one will eventually protect her.
Theme: Love yourself.
The woman felt depressed after reading the book, and the author is incredible, able to write such a subversive plot.
I feel a lot of pressure writing this step, so give yourself some encouragement. I can definitely do it!
The heroine is so difficult. This is really the first time I watched it. I thought I could hurt the hero, but in the end he just died.
I thought of an ending where Ying'er planned to beat the dog emperor's children, and after killing the dog emperor, he burned himself with the emperor's body, leaving Zhaili and the villain to clean up the mess they had fought over, leaving him nothing at all, and being buried with him and wanting to eat shit. Anyway, the plot is already so messed up, and it doesn't matter if it is messed up a little more. Only then can these lunatics feel the real revenge.
Be give me be, be must be, selfish, be give me be
I ordered it all and finished reading it. I felt that both endings were boring. I feel that this one is the pure version of Hate Hai Qing Tian. I have read many Hate Hai Qing Tian novels before and they were not that satisfying. I got it from a tweet from Xiaohongshu. I originally wanted to skip the part about robbery and robbery, so I passed this book. But after reading a few chapters, I felt that the other parts were also interesting, so I ordered all of them one after another. Most of the characters in this book didn't give me a weak feeling. Instead, everyone had their own difficulties. Everyone grew up in a different environment and had different positions. In a complex environment, they were all trying desperately to hold on to what they cared about, such as the warmth that they knew was false. Everyone couldn't help themselves. Every time I read the novel, I feel like I am immersed in it. I feel like the people in it, and I feel like I have experienced the same thing with them. After reading it, I feel a sense of loss.
Don't these men have anything else to do? All those plots and tricks were used on women, but they are so capable.
Let me put it bluntly, be sensible, can you just quit on your own? I beg you
Woo hoo hoo, you don't want Chu Yang to die, why do you want to kill everyone [question mark]
No wonder you two can play together [heartbroken]
