Before I Was Made to Humiliate My Nemesis

After transmigrating into a book as a supporting character in an explicit novel who had offended the male lead, Su Yao was terribly unlucky.

The original owner relied on being the adopted daughter of a villainous eunuch official to throw her weight around in the palace. Her body attracted men, but she couldn't win the love of the male lead, a palace guard, and personally had him castrated.

The male lead had once been the crown prince. After the villain tortured him mercilessly, he returned to the palace in disguise, determined to take revenge. His heart had long since twisted. After seizing power, the first thing he did was imprison the original owner and torment her day and night.

Now, in the first scene after transmigrating into the book, the castration knife was already in Su Yao's hand.

Chen Jin was bound on the ground, his eyes filled with deep-seated hatred.

This grudge was about to be forged. When dealing with someone this ruthless, the more you act weak, the more thoroughly he'll chew you up.

Su Yao kept up the original owner's persona and looked down at him. "If you don't want to become a eunuch, call me godmother."

This time, Su Yao not only spared him, but secretly helped him take revenge.

But he was deeply vindictive. To her face, he called her "godmother" this and "godmother" that, while secretly doing everything he could to kill her.

She couldn't just sit back and wait to die. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so she used her seductive charms to bewitch the villainous eunuch official, buying herself a chance to escape.

The day she ran away.

Su Yao only wanted to get as far away as possible, having long since put Chen Jin out of her mind. But not long after the carriage set off, it stopped without warning.

The smell of blood rushed over her. Silence fell all around: no neighing horses, no voices, not even the chirping of insects.

She clutched the edge of the curtain, her fingertips turning cold.

Someone lifted the carriage curtain from outside. That cold, pale, sinister face came right up to hers.

He reached in and gripped her throat, as if playing with a porcelain doll, or measuring where best to strike.

"Didn't Godmother say you'd stay with me forever?" His eyes were full of obsession, but his voice was soft as a lover's whisper. "How could you leave me behind?"

Chen Jin had endured so much torment that he had long since lost the capacity for love or affection. He only pretended to be enamored with sex to deceive the villain.

He'd never imagined he would fall into a woman's hands.

This woman had nearly ruined him. She'd lorded it over him like an elder, and even knowing he was a "eunuch," she'd found one way after another to tease him with her body.

Naturally, he detested her and wanted nothing but to kill her.

But at some point, he began to hope she would come to him.

If she didn't, he couldn't sit still, as if she'd stolen his soul. He hated her, yet couldn't stop thinking of her. He wanted to kill her, yet waited for her.

She'd teased him until he was nearly driven mad, then abandoned him anyway.

Hadn't she said she'd stay with him for the rest of their lives? One day less, one hour less, and it wasn't a lifetime!

Then he'd just have to drag her back and tie her to his side until her legs went weak and she couldn't run anymore.

Moonlight illuminated the eyes so close to hers, stirring their depths and setting dark currents surging.

He carried her out of the carriage and into the deeper darkness of the night.

After that, every night left Su Yao so exhausted she could barely think straight.

Who knew this block of ice would be so scorching to the touch?
