After the Tyrant Took Me by Force

He You Ning, the youngest legitimate daughter of the Chengping Marquis's household, had skin as fair as snow and beauty that outshone the rest. The youngest child in the family, she had been doted on since birth. Innocent, carefree, and charmingly sweet, she was dearly loved.

One day, while out on an errand, she came across a man who seemed at once like an immortal and a demon, through the mist.

He wore a plain white robe, his hair as black as ink. Cool and handsome, he looked like an exiled immortal. Aloof and extraordinary, ethereal and otherworldly, he seemed like someone from the heavens.

What she never expected was that he behaved with wild abandon, disregarding all rules and propriety.

He crossed the line from the very start, invading her space, ignoring her wishes, and relentlessly backing her into a corner with no way out.

He You Ning realized she had met a madman.

So she patiently played along with him, planning to escape as soon as she found an opportunity.

But she never could have imagined that this man, who seemed untouched by worldly concerns when calm and possessed by madness when roused, would be the most powerful and notorious tyrant in Da Ye...

By the time she wanted to leave, it was already too late.

It seemed she could no longer escape...

For the first twenty years of his life, Li Qingshu lived without restraint, free of all bonds and desires...

Like a drawn blade, he swept aside anyone who stood in his path.

The rules of the world, morality, ethics, and ironclad laws... were all dust to him.

He feared nothing and desired nothing. He walked alone along a road paved with power and blood, never once stirred by anyone or anything.

He thought he would always live that way.

Until that summer.

The breeze carried the damp scent of lotus ponds. From a small boat, he glanced up by chance and caught sight of a figure.

A young woman leaned over to admire the first lotus blossoms by the pond. The afternoon light traced her slender figure, making it seem hazy and delicate. The breeze lifted a few soft strands of black hair at her temple, revealing a neck so fair it dazzled the eye.

As if sensing his gaze, she suddenly looked up.

Her eyes were clear as a mountain stream, yet a faint mist shimmered in them, born of her innocence.

Like a pure drop of dew, she fell without warning into the dry, cracked lake of his heart, stirring up a raging storm that even he had never foreseen.

From that day onward, everything was turned upside down.

The violence and murderous aura that had once filled his chest melted away as wildly as ice meeting lava.

They did not disappear. Instead, they twisted and changed into something even more turbulent, more stubborn, and more tender.

It was affection, love, desire... and an obsession and longing that sank into his very bones.

Her eyes, brows, nose, lips, and every inch of her skin were an irresistible poison that left him addicted.

Xie Linghe had disappeared.

The Xie family searched all over the capital but couldn't find a trace of her. With no other choice, they asked the Crown Prince, who was renowned for his benevolence, for help.

Zhao Xuan agreed on the spot,

and reassured the Xie family, promising to do everything he could.

No one knew that Xie Linghe was in a secret chamber, only a stone's throw away from them.

*

What Zhao Xuan hated most

was that Xie Linghe truly thought of him as her real older brother.

They had grown up together,

childhood sweethearts, as close as could be.

She had always been his, yet she was about to throw herself into another man's arms.

Zhao Xuan was unwilling to accept it, unwilling to let go.

*

In the dark secret chamber, a black silk ribbon covered the young woman's eyes. A trace of fear showed on her beautiful, delicate face as she trembled, “Crown Prince, Brother...”

A slender hand came to rest on the back of her neck. A calloused fingertip stroked her soft, delicate skin.

The warm touch made her whole body tense.

As if suppressing some overwhelming emotion, the man wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and pulled her into his embrace.

He rested his chin in the hollow of her shoulder, holding her with greedy intensity, as though he wanted to draw her entire scent into his lungs.

He bent down, his lips brushing her skin almost imperceptibly. It was as if he wanted to savor every inch of her, his desire restrained to the point of losing control. His breath mingled with hers, his eyes burning with infatuation.

“Your brother loves you...”

Coercive pursuit / everyone's darling / rivalry among men

They say Jiang Yuchen is strikingly handsome, elegant as the moon, and free of worldly concerns.

Among a crowd of treacherous ministers, he is a rare upright man, noble and pure as jade and pine.

But why does he seem so different from the rumors when no one else is around?

Every time he sees her, his gaze is strange and feverish, its meaning impossible to read.

Li Yue doesn't like him.

Whenever she sees him, she carefully avoids him.

But this carefully maintained calm is bound to be shattered.

On the day of the palace coup, Jiang Yuchen finally seized the throne after plotting for a long time.

And the young woman he had coveted for ages was finally pulled into his arms.

The man gripped the young woman's slender waist. His voice was clear and magnetic, his tone laced with cruelty and teasing, along with a trace of hidden longing.

“Where do you think you're going to run?”
