Qiao Si had been raised like a caged canary since childhood. For her family, the most important thing was to secure power and influence, treating her like an object to be bargained over.

She did not like Chu Yao, yet she was forced into a marriage arrangement with him. She had no choice but to learn his preferences and act like a gentle and obedient woman.

But suddenly, she discovered Chu Yao’s identity was fake. She hurriedly begged her father to annul the engagement and carefully chose a new husband from a good family, someone easy to handle, just waiting to marry into his household and escape the Qiao family.

Unexpectedly, as the saying goes, “one emperor, one court.”

That young man was imprisoned for treason, and her family conspired to send her as a concubine to the old prince. In her despair, someone from the palace arrived.

In a red chamber, once her gentle lover, now towering over her, caressed a jade finger ring in his hand, his expression indifferent as he looked at her.

Seeing her sincerely defending her fiancé, he pinched her jaw with a cold tone:

“Can a Qiao girl act so well and yet truly love someone?”

He mocked her so-called sincerity, but inside, jealousy coiled like a venomous snake.

Chu Yao knew Qiao Si did not like him, yet he was still drawn to her.

He had assumed that someone like her had no real heart. But when he saw her compromising herself for someone else, he suddenly felt unwilling. Why shouldn’t she be his?

He forced Qiao Si into the palace to show her who truly occupied the highest branches.

He watched her seduce him as before, thinking he would remain unmoved, yet he was still ensnared by every frown and smile.

In the quiet of night, their sweat mingled, breaths entangled.

The young emperor bit her lips, caressed her soft, fair abdomen, eyes dark and lingering.

“When will you, Qiao Qiao, give me an heir?”

Qiao Si could not utter a word. Her gaze scattered, she could not help thinking: who is really the sickly one here?

“He rules the world, yet humbles himself at her fingertips, begging for love.”
