At first, Qing Lan married unwillingly, swallowing her humiliation and bearing the burden.
Only after many twists and turns did she discover where she was trapped and finally wake from her long dream.
That day, she stood beneath the moon after her bath, beautiful and graceful, almost like an enchantress. In that instant, Yin Fu understood what it meant to fall in love at first sight.
He regretted destroying her and regretted tormenting her without mercy. When he spoke, his ingratiating tone was full of self-satisfaction. “Tonight, you will sleep with me.”
But she only replied calmly, “I won't go with you.”
You won't? Yin Fu hoisted her over his shoulder and pinned down her struggles. “You're my concubine. It's not up to you to decide whether you go with me or not.”
That night, Qing Lan sat leaning against the cold wall, her hair disheveled and her eyes veiled in mist. She looked fragile and heartbreakingly beautiful, yet all the pride in her bones sharpened into a barb. “Yin Fu, you destroy loyal and virtuous people without scruple and ignore every moral boundary. How can someone like you deserve to be called a loyal and virtuous minister? How dare you compare yourself to Senior Brother? You're not fit to be mentioned in the same breath as him!”
Her words stung like a venomous bee. Pain lingered in his eyes, but his face remained impassive. “I may be inferior to him in every way, but don't forget that you're in my hands, while all he can do is love you from afar and keep to propriety.”
Yin Fu's cruelty only deepened Qing Lan's hatred for him.

But later, the man she had once depended on completely, trusted, and given everything for shed his clear and composed facade, revealing a near-mad frenzy beneath.
Layer upon layer, palace walls enclosed her, forming a cage to imprison her.
She gazed at the snow filling the sky, thinking of the life she had risked for nothing. Her heart was full of conflicting emotions, yet there was nothing she could do.
The door was only gently latched, but she didn't even dare open it. Every time she closed her eyes, she heard Xie Che's calm, measured words.
“If you dare take one step outside, I'll cut off one of his fingers.”
“If you dare act indifferent to me, I'll have him beaten with a cane until his bones are exposed.”
“If you dare threaten me with your death, I'll flay him alive in front of you and make your father eat his flesh.”
He lifted her by the waist, his familiar breath brushing her neck. “Be good, Lan'er. Once you bear me an heir, I'll let him go.”
Reader's Guide:
1. The male leads are virgins. Happy ending, in the Qing-style sense. One heroine, two male leads. Yes, there are two male leads, and both men are leads.
2. The story features forced possession and marriage before love.
3. The forced-possession plot begins in Chapter 51. If you only want the romance, you can finish Chapter 25 and skip to Chapter 51. If you want the plot to flow smoothly, skipping chapters is not recommended.
4. The setting borrows from the Song Dynasty. I've tried to be historically accurate, but please don't nitpick every word.
5. The pacing is fast in the first six chapters, with several storylines crossing. It slows down from Chapter 7 onward.
6. The second male lead looks kind but is a dog at heart, truly a crazy dog.
7. This story balances plot and romance, with love and hatred interwoven in a web of power and intrigue.

Theme: Let the wind trample my wings. Still, I will sing loud enough to shake the world.
Maybe because of the previous book, I felt a little nervous when I saw the word "ye"
I stayed up all night last night and finished reading this book. Although I am a loyal reader of robbery, this Xie Che still shocked me. As expected, he went crazy without any moral bottom line. [Shut up] [Shut up] [Shut up]. It's just a pain for the heroine. 😭😭😭. And the ending is really true, why do I feel that this Xie is not dead? [Hold the thigh][Hold the thigh][Hold the thigh], it's a bit scary, the underworld can't trap him, right? I feel that if the author continues to write, Xie will become a ghost and continue to rob Qinglan from the world. Let me go, don't make that scene too exciting, I can completely figure it out [Shut up] [Shut up] [Shut up]. The first half is Yin Fu's home court, and the second half is Xie's home court. The poor little heroine is really on the road to being abused😭😭😭. It feels like it has an ancient taste. Crazy is also a unique character. Originally, I thought that Yin was just like this in the early stages, with a arrogant and venomous tongue and a bearded look, but at least he is willing to compromise for the heroine, and is willing to tell the heroine the truth and be honest with her. He is indeed the most suitable for the heroine. And the heroine does have the feeling of being in a normal relationship with Yin. But let's go with Xie's hateful relationship. Although healthy relationships are fascinating, deformed relationships are another kind of perfection. Alas, I feel that my xp is also quite hellish, and I quite like be. But he is the one who takes things by force. He will never get it, and he will always long to tame the other person, but it will never let her lower her head. In turn, he is not willing to let go of his persistence and watch her pair up with another person. On the one hand, he would rather keep his body for the rest of his life, but on the other hand, he longs for her sincerity, and then repeatedly jumps between loving her and hating her. He wants her to melt into his own flesh and blood and become a part of him. He longs to hurt her and make her broken. He even feels weirdly excited when he sees her broken, but this feeling of brokenness can only belong to him🤩. The ultimate strong feelings may be like this [hug the thigh] [hug the thigh] [hug the thigh]. This pair really has a lot of sexual tension. I also read Liao Daxin's new article. I feel that it is Xie's plus version. It is smarter than Xie and seems to be more ruthless in the later stage. I hope the author will continue to write more. We are all silently supporting [hug the thigh][hug the thigh]
I don't understand whether Xie Yu has really turned into a ghost or is it just a dream? It's so terrible. I feel like he died too late 🥺
Finished reading! I like two men and one woman... It's so good to be alive. The threesome is full of happiness, hahahahahaha, the smell of meat is overflowing, one ring after another! I found out that there is really something to be said for Machiavellianism.
It's locked again. I didn't see it 😭
The author feeds the food quickly 🐶
Xie Che, please don't die... Even though it's disgusting, I still don't want Ga to die 🐶
The author didn't see Chapter 90 😭
Dear author, please don't be tired, but don't take a break either.
