[Fragile, clueless little bunny × cruel, unhinged, entitled emperor]
While traveling incognito in Qingzhou, Emperor Qianning took a beautiful woman to his bed. She served him well enough, so he granted her the rank of Lady, a reward for her service.
But when he woke the next morning, she had fled without a trace.
Of everyone present, only Princess Consort Yi Qingyuan seemed suspicious.
*
After being drugged, Yi Qingyuan walked into the wrong room and spent a night with the wrong man.
Her heart was numb and her legs weak. She fled as if her life depended on it.
The man remained suspicious of her, but every time, she managed to come up with just the right excuse to get herself off the hook.
At last, one day, he found proof that she had bought an herbal concoction to prevent pregnancy.
*
At first, Emperor Qianning was cold and vicious, determined to capture the woman who had defied him and fled in fear of punishment, then grind her bones to dust to avenge the insult.
When he confirmed that she was the Prince of Su's wife, Emperor Qianning felt his chest fill with murderous rage and immediately moved to seize her.
But she put on a coy act, weeping and sobbing as she clung to him.
He thought that perhaps she had been driven by circumstances beyond her control and had been afraid to tell him the truth.
Since she had come to him of her own accord, surely she wasn't entirely without feelings for him.
The death penalty could be commuted, but she would still have to pay. Then he would make her...
With misty eyes and marks all over her body, the woman curled around him like a snake and said, "I want to be Empress!"
"If I'd known you were the emperor, why would I have married the Prince of Su?"
Shameless, greedy, and materialistic. Never before had Emperor Qianning wanted so badly to flay someone alive, tear out her sinews, and cut her to pieces.
She cried prettily, tears streaming down her face.
Emperor Qianning closed his eyes. "Get out. Don't let me see you again."
*
After returning to the capital, Emperor Qianning went back to working from dawn till dusk. He was so busy that he had already forgotten about her.
At the princes' banquet, he watched her avoid his gaze, timidly trying to escape.
He thought, She deserves this. She ought to spend her whole life scurrying around in front of me like a mouse.
Then, at the autumn hunt, she threw up all over him.
Only then did he learn that she was three months pregnant.
Emperor Qianning's expression turned viciously cold. A sky-high fury flared within him as he gripped her chin. "Is the child in your belly mine?"
Reader advisory:
1. The heroine has no prior experience, but the hero does. One-on-one romance, HE.
The hero is an entitled remnant of feudal society: cruel, arrogant, and high above everyone else. His sharp tongue leaves everyone devastated. He's a larger-than-life male lead, and his attraction to the heroine is instinctive.
The heroine is a gentle, timid, honest little bunny and a devoted wife. She's beautiful and delicate, but skilled at handicrafts and able to support herself. She knows when to compromise, though not always, and when she gets stubborn, she can infuriate the hero to death.
2. A melodramatic one-night stand + fake death and fleeing while pregnant + identities exposed + a dramatic pursuit to win her back. A chaotic mix of tropes.
3. Outwardly, it's a domineering pursuit, but in truth, it's a melodramatic, trope-indulgent sweet romance. No cruelty toward the heroine or dark, twisted drama.
4. This is already the nth version of the blurb. The initial version was written on March 18, 2026.
Theme: Live earnestly, and always be sincere
