Feared by officials and revered by the people, Lu Yan, heir of Marquis Anning, is a man of unmatched power—aloof, unyielding, and ruthless in both politics and on the battlefield. To the world, he is a divine protector. To Hua Qingyue, he is a torment she never asked for.
From their first meeting, he dismissed her as vulgar and unworthy. Later, he humiliated her before others, punished her without reason, and bound her to him with cruel words and darker deeds. By day, his methods broke her pride; by night, his obsession consumed her.
When a long-awaited marriage decree seemed to promise her freedom, Lu Yan shattered her hopes, declaring her not a wife—but a concubine. Stripped of dignity, Qingyue endured in silence, waiting for the day she could finally break free.
Years later, when her dreams are fulfilled and she seizes her chance to escape, she believes she can at last live a life untouched by him. But Lu Yan, the man who once disdained love, finds himself unraveling—his obsession ignited, his heart in chaos, his eyes red with desperation.
A tale of power, obsession, betrayal, and an unrelenting pursuit—can she ever truly escape the man who has claimed her body, her fate, and perhaps her heart?
