A love-at-first-sight story from the male lead’s perspective. That’s right! It started with the princess slapping him, and he fell for her on the spot!
[The unhinged new emperor who talks tough one second and wags his tail the next x the proud, free-spirited princess of a fallen kingdom]
Lin Weizhou thought he might have gone mad.
He had a perfectly good throne, yet he wanted to become a dog at Yue Li’s side, begging for scraps of affection.
*
When he was held hostage as a political prisoner, Yue Li would beat and insult him at the slightest provocation, grinding his dignity into the dirt.
After Yue fell, Yue Li was made a palace maid. The arrogance had vanished from her face. Lin Weizhou thought he would be delighted, but, as if possessed, he changed his mind and decided to make her his Imperial Consort.
But Yue Li had always been that same carefree, untamed princess.
She gave him no kindness.
She even hid the dagger he had given her and stabbed him with it while he slept.
She also used him, taking advantage of his trust, to send information outside the palace to Lin Weizhou’s most hated enemy.
She even tricked him into drinking a drug that would render him infertile.
The day the truth came to light, Lin Weizhou was furious. “Yue Li, do you think I can’t live without you?”
The princess gave him a cold look. “You can kill me, then.”
She wouldn’t even say a single kind word. Enraged, Lin Weizhou swept out of the room.
*
Night was falling outside the princess’s palace. Eunuch Chen Quan stamped his feet against the cold and finally asked, “Your Majesty, how much longer are we going to crouch out here?”
