The Emperor’s Beloved, Adorably Clueless Consort

She said, “I can kill with one knife within three steps, take on ten people within five, and hit every shot within ten. I could even take your heads from a thousand meters away, and no army could stop me. Don't ask why I'm so awesome. I'm a legend. You're an emperor, so what gives you the right to make me submit beneath your imperial robes?”

That's right, our heroine is a valiant, invincible, brilliant, peerlessly beautiful top agent and assassin.

He said, “I have unified the realm, control the rise and fall of the state, and hold all power in my hands. With a sweep of my sleeve, I can pardon the world. None would dare challenge me upon the Nine-Dragon Throne. If I can bring the people to heel and make the five kingdoms, seven commanderies, and nine provinces bow before me, surely I have the means to claim the one and only place in your heart.”

Indeed, this is our emperor of the ages, the peerlessly handsome and unfathomable Lord of Yinhua.

An Ge was betrayed by her organization and died in an explosion while eliminating a target, alongside Yun Zhao, her sister in everything but blood. To her surprise, fate showed her mercy, and she transmigrated and was reborn in the Shengliu Empire.

But handsome men, pretty boys, princes, and emperors all look the same to her.

According to legend, Emperor Yinhua is violent and tyrannical, utterly cruel and ruthless, with no trace of humanity. He once slaughtered an entire nation's people for the one he loved.

She thought he was merely a little overbearing, a little violent, and a little cruel. Who could have known that in his so-called world of the strong devouring the weak, he did nothing but exploit and scheme, using everyone as a piece in his magnificent game of chess? And he disrupted her already chaotic world without even batting an eye.

Worse, he used the lives of the dynasty's innocent people as a bargaining chip to pressure her relentlessly.

Perched atop a prized steed, his imperial robes fluttering, Yinhua looked every bit the handsome nobleman. He arched a brow, lifted his alluring chin, and slowly parted his red lips. “Let me ask you something.”

An Ge tossed her hair with a confident flourish, batting her eyes coquettishly. “I've loved before, I'm not interested, I'm broke, Yun Zhao, the people. At this moment, the shadow of emotional trauma you've inflicted on me is about nine square meters.”

Emperor Yinhua's face twitched, and his brows drew together. “You're not coming home?”

“No.”

Yinhua turned to leave. “Fine by me. I have three palaces and six courtyards full of women waiting for me. With nothing better to do, I could announce a grand search for consorts across the realm.”

An Ge was about to launch into a furious tirade when the steed reared up and neighed. Yinhua tapped the saddle with his toe, sprang back, and wrapped an arm around her slender waist. A strange rose-shaped mark flickered in and out of view in his eyes, which glowed red.

“If you haven't returned to the palace within an hour, I guarantee you won't get out of bed for half a month, won't recover for two months, and will be confined for half a year. You'll have no chance of escaping my grasp for a whole year.”

An Ge grinned and fawned over him. “My dear Emperor, you are revered by all, broad-minded, and renowned throughout the world. You're so devastatingly handsome that no one before or after you could compare. Please don't hold a mere woman like me to account.”

His lips curled into a confident, bewitching smile. His cold gaze swept over the woman in his arms. “Speak plainly.”

“Fine, I'll go back with you. Happy now?”

Even I can't say just how ridiculously saccharine this romance is. =.="
