[Beautiful and clear-headed marriage alliance princess × Gloomy, mad, and obsessive tyrant]
[Double Clean 1v1 HE + Protagonists with imperfect personalities + Alternate history/fictional setting]
Xie Hengwu, the third daughter of Nanliang’s Changping Marquis Manor, was born with striking allure and a unique natural fragrance. She was the number one beauty of Shangjing, a pearl of eternal brilliance.
While the world speculated whose family this pearl would eventually grace, an imperial decree sent her to Beijiang for a marriage alliance.
Everyone knew that the Emperor of Beijiang, Xiao Yanzhou, was tyrannical and cruel. They sighed in lamentation, believing the beauty’s life would be short-lived and her fate tragic.
However, not only did Xie Hengwu survive, she became the Empress of Beijiang, ruling the realm alongside the tyrant.
The world watched in stunned silence as the king, who usually held everyone in contempt, looked on with tender affection, bending down to arrange the trailing hem of the Empress’s robes.
Xiao Yanzhou suffered from a chronic headache that caused him constant, piercing pain, yet Xie Hengwu’s fragrance was the only remedy.
Initially, he merely regarded her as a piece of “human incense” to treat his ailment.
But as the scent drifted, it eventually found its way into his heart.
“Come closer,” Xiao Yanzhou leaned against the Dragon Couch, his gaze dark and deep. “Come to my side.”
Desire grew like wild grass; he craved her scent, her beauty, until… he craved all of her.
