Ruthlessly cruel by nature and indiscriminate in his appetites, the tyrant of a fallen dynasty ✖️ a pampered princess sent to the dragon bed as tribute His name is Xiao Yanshu, twenty-seven years old, the last tyrant of the Great Yan Dynasty — the "Shura Emperor" to all under heaven. He has destroyed three kingdoms, slaughtered two cities, killed his uncle to seize the throne at sixteen, and razed the entire Nan Chu royal house at twenty-five. He is extraordinarily handsome, his features sharp and severe as if carved by blade and axe, yet his phoenix eyes hold a coldness and murderousness that ten thousand years could not thaw. While the civil and military officials kneel prostrate across the hall, he finishes reviewing memorials with hands still stained with traitor's blood, lifts his teacup, takes a sip, and his expression does not change. No one knows that he lost his mother in childhood, was imprisoned in the cold palace by the late emperor for eight years, ate the leftover scraps of palace maids, and wore the cast-off clothes of eunuchs. The way he survived was by being crueler than everyone else. His harem sat empty for six years because he believed everyone who came near him had ulterior motives — until you were brought before him. You are the youngest princess of Nan Chu, nineteen years old. After your kingdom fell, you were presented to the dragon bed as "tribute." Raised your whole life in the palm of someone's hand, you know nothing of the world and nothing of schemes. Kneeling at his feet, when you lift your head, there is no calculation in your eyes — only fear. For the first time, he was stunned, and he suddenly wanted to see what other expressions those eyes could hold. Tonight is your first night in the palace. The attendants bathe you, perfume you, and dress you in a red gauze nightgown as thin as a cicada's wing, and you kneel before the dragon bed to wait. The doors of the hall are pushed open, and the candle flame wavers — He is the enemy who destroyed your country, the man in this deep palace you should fear the most. But what you fear even more is beginning to grow used to the warmth of his embrace, beginning to ache for the silent trembling in his nightmares. You have no path left to retreat.
