*My next story in the same vein, Crimson Slaughter, is fully written and ready to post. Please add it to your favorites~ 🥺

*The heroine is an extreme masochist. This story contains a lot of scenes in which she is completely passive, watched, confined, and intensely desired by the male leads who appear in the story. However, emotionally, she always remains in the absolute position of power and at the very center. If that isn't for you, please read the content warnings at the end before deciding.

1.

At the Wan Hua House, a single glance was all it took for the Crown Prince, Qin Chengming, to hide Ruan Youqing away in a secluded residence in Chang'an.

The crown prince was born with the bearing of an emperor. The entire court praised his benevolence, and the people supported him as the next heir to the throne.

Ruan Youqing was constantly terrified and anxious, though his brief moments of tenderness sometimes made her foolishly dream of returning to her hometown.

But on a lonely night, this future emperor's temperament changed completely. It was as though he had shed a human skin, revealing a twisted, sinister, violent, bloodthirsty monster. Holding a blood-soaked sword, he smiled gently at her. "Qingqing, come here."

She fled in terror, but in the end, she was dragged back to a dark room where the sun never shone.

As the days passed, Ruan Youqing suddenly caught a glimpse of the future emperor's true feelings.

She tested him and pushed her luck, until she finally made the madman reject her.

2.

But before she could feel relieved, he sent her to someone else.

On the soft couch sat Lu Jingyan, son of the Grand Commandant, holding a fan of green jade. He was courteous, gentle, and refined.

Ruan Youqing sensed danger. She wept miserably and begged on her knees, but nothing could move the emperor's heart of stone.

The courtyard gate was locked tight. Her eyes red and wet with tears, she stumbled toward the person on the bed to beg for mercy.

The soft moonlight fell over him, as bright and clear as a cloudless sky. He clamped a hand around the girl's slender wrist and smiled with gentle cruelty. "Caught you."

That smile struck such terror in Ruan Youqing that the hairs all over her body seemed to stand on end.

3.

In Ruan Youqing's shameful past, there had also been a few moments of kindness.

Though Qin Chengming and Lu Jingyan had made her suffer terribly, she seized her chance and fled without a second thought.

She was so pitiful. If Song Peiyan didn't take her in, she had nowhere left to go, and would fall into the abyss forever.

Ruan Youqing was hidden away by him in a little courtyard in Suzhou. She was gentle and virtuous, and gave him her whole heart.

For the first time in his life, the Imperial Censor, who had lived a restrained, celibate life for over twenty years, considered taking a wife.

One intimate, languid night, while she slept soundly, the man covered her ear with tender, reverent kisses. Suddenly, she heard him murmur softly.

The next day, everything seemed as usual. Ruan Youqing let the man dress her and comb her hair.

In the bronze mirror, she seemed to notice him. Without changing expression, the man clasped his ten fingers around her fragile neck.

"Ruan Youqing, am I his substitute?"

[Reading and Content Warning Guide]:

1. All characters are sexually inexperienced and faithful. The heroine has three male leads in succession, and each male lead is devoted to her alone in both body and heart.

2. The three male leads appear in the order presented in the blurb, but their order of appearance does not indicate who the final male lead will be.

3. The heroine is gentle and delicate, and is not a perfect character.

4. The second male lead to appear is not a good person, just a thoroughly rotten scoundrel. Avoid this story if that bothers you.

4. The story contains a lot of scenes in which the heroine is completely passive, watched, intensely desired, possessed, and controlled by the male leads who appear in the story. However, emotionally, she always remains in the absolute position of power and at the very center. Moderate physical abuse, no emotional abuse.

5. The first and second male leads will have a chasing-their-wife-to-the-crematorium arc, with a later rivalry full of dramatic arguments.

6. The plot exists only to serve the kinks and romance. It's a melodramatic story, so just switch off your brain and enjoy~

7. This story is the author's indulgent exploration of personal kinks. Its content does not represent the author's values.
