On a tower amid swirling sand, he looked down at her as she lay across a pile of corpses.
She clung to the city lord's body. "Didn't you say you'd protect me for the rest of my life? Wake up..."
Only the fierce, indifferent wind answered her.
He wanted her, and he was determined to have her.
He endured it for ten years, watching her marry and have a child.
So what?
He stroked her pointed, soft chin and threatened her softly. "I'll give you time to think about your situation. As for children, you can have more."
Like a begonia battered by a storm, she leaned feebly against him, breathing softly. She said nothing and gave him no reaction.
He didn't seem to mind. His thin lips brushed over the corner of her brow again and again, growing more besotted with every touch.
He lightly touched her lips with his fingertip. Looking into her lifeless eyes, he said in a hoarse voice, "Be good... You can't escape, and you can't die. What chance do you have against me? Wouldn't it be better to behave and suffer less?"

I wronged this man.
Ten years ago, when he left in sorrow, I thought it was simply a case of fate keeping us apart, destiny at work, fortune playing cruel tricks.
Ten years later, when his army surrounded my little city, I still thought he was the same mild-mannered man he had once been.
Only when, on the last day of every month, he personally stripped me bare and had me soak in a jar with black millet and turmeric for half the night, brewing that fragrant wine, did I understand. His obsession was twisted, and he meant to possess me completely, even to destroy me.
Yet every time he held me and drank the wine brewed from my body, I could still see concern and reluctance in his eyes, cold as a deep pool.
What did he want from me? He was ruthless when tormenting me, yet couldn't bear to see me broken and vulnerable.
Reader's guide:
1. A Qing-style happy ending, not one where one person lives and the other dies.
2. This story features a male-dominated society.
3. The male lead is calculating and deeply devoted, with a mild sadistic streak.
4. The setting blends elements of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. It is a blend, not a direct copy. (Sources selected from Zuo Zhuan.)
5. The prologue establishes the background. The main story won't be as fast-paced or demanding to follow. I'll try to focus on the two leads, though there will also be some of the male lead's schemes to conquer the realm.
6. The male lead isn't killing people for fun or because his morals are warped. He's killing to secure each step and achieve his goal of conquering the realm. These people would die whether or not the heroine were there.
The story begins on April 16.
Theme: Learn to cherish the people who are with you now
As for the plot design and character description, to be honest, I feel it is better-looking than many on the gold list. [Let me be healthy]
Your book really needs to be read word for word. I sighed while reading and had endless aftertaste. The author is really awesome.
The male protagonist is so well written... Don't collapse, don't collapse! The heroine also carries out her unyielding attitude to the end!!! Go ahead
Maybe it's because the writing time was too long and I stopped writing 😂😂😂
Oh my god, Yuan Jie is also a hidden crazy person. He turned against Mo Jie and then snatched the spirit smoke. [Hold the thigh] [Hold the thigh] [Hold the thigh]. Looking forward to it🤩
What about the follow-up [Hold your thighs] [Hold your thighs] [Hold your thighs], why is there no follow-up? Please come out, please continue after the holidays😭😭😭
Take a quick look at the private message on Weibo. I've left you a message there.
I want to see meat...
I just saw a video of a blogger selling fried noodles in the UK. The noodles are freshly pulled and fried... If you can come across it, go and try it.
Locked! New chapter 😭 😭 😭
