The original host still wanted to persuade her, but Shangguan Lingxue directly had people drive her out of the palace gates.
The original host was helpless and could only return.
As a result, the silly original host, instead of taking the proper carriage, insisted on walking to clear her mind.
The consequence was being caught red-handed by Qin Zhanhan, who was preparing to take a stroll in the harem.
The crime of deceiving the emperor was undeniable.
Qin Zhanhan lifted the original host's chin, his gaze full of interest.
Never has anyone dared to defy my imperial decree.
Very well, woman, you have successfully caught my attention.
Thus, Qin Zhanhan directly pardoned the crime of deceiving the emperor and began to aggressively pursue the original host. The original host was completely bewildered by his outrageous actions, utterly at a loss.
An emperor's patience is limited. After a month of fervent pursuit without success, Qin Zhanhan lost patience and directly asked the original host straightforwardly, "Woman, I want you to be my woman! Do you agree?"
The original host naturally disagreed. She was driven nearly insane by this lunatic's entanglement for a month! However, given his noble status, she couldn't say anything.
The original host did not want to marry someone she didn't like, so she refused Qin Zhanhan. This action somehow enraged Qin Zhanhan.
Thus, Qin Zhanhan betrothed the ungrateful original host to the weak and incompetent good-for-nothing Seventh Prince, Qin Yu.
The original host was utterly bewildered, "What is going on? Didn't you ask if I was willing first? So it's supposed to be answered according to your wishes?!"
This time.
Even if the original host was unwilling, she had to marry.
The crime of deceiving the emperor was punishable by death.
Qin Zhanhan had let her off for the crime of deceiving the emperor last time. If she escaped again, the entire Prime Minister's Estate would suffer.
Thus, the original host married him.
Qin Zhanhan, seeing the original host marrying him willingly this time, felt utterly displeased.
Why was it that when marrying me, you were either on the verge of smashing into a pillar or already hitting one?! But marrying him, you are so willing!
Qin Zhanhan was unhappy, so on their wedding night, he directly had Qin Yu drugged and went to consummate the marriage with the original host in his place.
Waking up the next day, the original host was devastated and wanted to end her life.
But Qin Zhanhan threatened that if the original host dared to die, he would slaughter the entire Prime Minister's Estate.
This threat was very effective, successfully making the silly original host abandon the idea of ending her life.
She could die, but she couldn't implicate the entire Prime Minister's Estate, nor could she implicate her father.
Later, Qin Zhanhan used this to threaten the original host into becoming his mistress.
As long as the original host was unwilling, Qin Zhanhan would threaten to announce to the world that she was actually his woman, Qin Zhanhan.
For the honor of her family and to avoid implicating Qin Yu, the original host finally had to agree.
What was impressive was.
Qin Zhanhan gradually fell in love with the original host and, in order to make the original host love him too, began to constantly torment her.
In the end, he cruelly turned the original host into a masochist.
Even more impressive was.
Under this constant torment, the original host actually fell in love with Qin Zhanhan.
In the end, these two actually fell in love with each other...
Ming Li twitched the corner of her mouth. She seriously suspected that this person called Han also wore a strange halo?
System: ... Congratulations to the host for guessing correctly, but there are no rewards!
Yes, that's right! Qin Zhanhan is the male lead of this world.
This world also has a supporting female character.
That would be the original host's illegitimate sister who took her place in marriage, Shangguan Lingxue.
Shangguan Lingxue had been fond of Qin Zhanhan since childhood. Therefore, upon learning that the original host and Qin Zhanhan had fallen in love, she instantly felt something was wrong.
She picked up her supporting role and, diligently and professionally, started causing trouble.
This led the male and female leads into a true path of angst and suffering.
