The Noble Power Broker Is a Mad Dog at My Feet

In her previous life, she debased herself, staying by Qi Li's side without asking for a title.

She heard that the totalitarian regime in the far north had a way to tame human slaves. While the slave was fully conscious, the master would use force to break their will, then appear to rescue them from their suffering. The slave would worship him as a god, and even if he let them go, they would willingly return to his side. It was a method of subduing both body and soul.

She went to great lengths to find this method for Qi Li, only for him to use it on her.

Qi Li turned into a demon, declaring, "I will lock you away. In the end, you will be my captive."

In the water prison, naked and consumed by shame, she finally understood: Qi Li only wanted an obedient puppet.

Just as she was about to lose herself forever, someone pushed her from a high platform! A long sword pierced her head, and death became her escape. But how could she break free of the obedience branded into the depths of her soul?

When she first met Xie Jin, he was a gentle, refined gentleman, famous for having no interest in women. All of Yan Jing praised him, yet no one knew that this bastard was a wolf in sheep's clothing, coveting her beauty and craving her body. To keep herself from being devoured by this hungry wolf, she might as well have written "mortal enemies" across her face.

Qi Li's possessiveness and Xie Jin's overbearing affection were both just ways men tried to tame women. She put everything in order and fled without a backward glance, never expecting the two centers of power in Yan Jing to fall into chaos...

Xie Jin pulled her into his arms, his eyes brimming with love and madness. "No matter what, after a long winter, spring will come again. Su Hua will bloom slowly for Jin."
