The Princess Marries Again: The Tyrant’s Runaway Consort

In her past life, she shed her noble status for the man she loved, making careful plans at every turn to help him rule the world. In the end, another woman took her place as empress, her entire family was executed, her tongue was cut out and her feet severed, and she died with her unborn child. In this life, she returned to the year she came of age. Her weakness became strength, her innocence turned to ruthlessness. If anyone dared to harm her, she would wipe out their entire family! She would repay the pain of her past life a thousandfold! * When they first met, she sat at the Wutong Terrace, playing the zither for the man she hated. The music was intoxicating, and her beauty was breathtaking. But because of a careless remark from her, he was unmasked in front of everyone, revealing his disfigured face. When they met again, it was on their wedding night. Dressed in her bridal gown, she had prepared a cup of poisoned wine, intending to become a new bride and then a widow. But an assassination attempt threw her plans into disarray, and he took a fatal sword blow meant for her. * Ye Xiyan thought she had married a pushover she could easily control. Later, she learned that beneath his ugly face lurked a wicked, beguiling man, and a master at stealing hearts. Unwilling to be weighed down by love again, she planned to run away with the baby. But she was intercepted halfway. His seductive gaze fell on her rounded belly. “Yan’er, you can leave, but the baby stays.” Ye Xiyan scoffed and asked coldly, “Why?” He answered, each word deliberate: “Because it’s mine!” * Later, in a dim room, Ye Xiyan lay restrained by chains at all four limbs. The man approached with a dagger gleaming coldly, the same cruelty at the corner of his lips as when they first met. “If it’s mine, what’s wrong with taking it out early?” *
