Forced Into the Arms of My Cold Archnemesis

As the Emperor nears death, the ruthless Xie Chongqing leads a coup to seize the throne. His first target is Yan Ling, the Emperor’s “favorite son” and his former student. The two have always clashed: she resented his coldness, while he loathed her very presence. To survive, Yan Ling must hide her true identity while carrying a secret imperial edict. But their rivalry shatters when a night of drugged wine leads to a scandalous, chaotic encounter behind silk curtains.

Now revealed as the stunning Princess Jingyang, Yan Ling stands at the peak of imperial power. Yet, she is untouchable. The Grand Minister, Xie Chongqing, is consumed by a possessive madness that flares at her every smile. When she brings home a s*ave who resembles her childhood friend, Xie Chongqing loses all restraint. He corners her in her bedchambers, his gentle mask replaced by raw obsession. He grips her throat, forcing her to look at him. “Who were you looking for in him, Your Highness?” “I will kill anyone you desire.” “If that man ever returns, I will kill him again.”
