"Yun'er, in this world, only I am qualified to lie beside you, and only I can see you here!"
"Yun Shang was shocked, 'Why?'"
"She recalled the scenes of the previous night, her heart in turmoil, not knowing what to say."
"'I don't know why either, perhaps because I like you?'"
"Yun Shang's heart suddenly quickened."
"'Impossible!' Yun Shang blurted out."
"'Impossibility is an illusion. My feelings are never wrong! Yun'er, trust me, I will give you happiness!'"
"Yun Shang bit her lip, looking into his earnest eyes, feeling lost for a moment."
"Could she really trust him?"
"This man was too unpredictable."
"'You say you like me, but I don't like you,' Yun Shang said, lowering her head."
"'How do you know you don't like me if you don't try? Yun'er, I know your status is noble; you are a princess, but you are merely a pawn of the Emperor.'"
"A pawn?"
"Yun Shang's heart skipped a beat."
"'In this world, anyone intelligent understands how to weigh things, and Yun'er, you are the most intelligent among them.'"
"'You mean I should choose you?'"
"'Of course not.'"
"'Then why should I choose you?'"
"'Because I can give you everything you want.'"
"'What if I don't want your wealth?'"
"'Then you have no value to me.'"
"'But I don't want your money.'"
"'Yun'er, you don't need those.'"
"Yun Shang pursed her lips, unwilling to argue further with him."
"She wasn't a fool."
"She knew who this man before her was."
"'Yun'er, don't refuse my kindness, because in this world, no one is more suitable for you than I am, and no one will treat you better than I do!'"
"''"
"'And you are the woman I love the most. Every move you make captivates me, so you cannot escape!'"
"Yun Shang: ''"
"This man was simply unreasonable!"
"'Leave, I'm tired and don't want to see you anymore,' Yun Shang snorted coldly, closing her eyes, determined to get rid of him."
"'Yun'er, don't forget what I said. You will never be able to get rid of me!'"
"''"
"'If you dare to leave the palace, I will definitely capture you and bring you back!'"
"'' Yun Shang rolled her eyes helplessly."
"'Yun'er, I know you hate me and don't want to be with me, but it's okay. I have the patience to wait for you to fall in love with me.'"
"'' Yun Shang was speechless."
"'Yun'er, I'll leave first.' The man gently stroked her head and turned to leave."
"Yun Shang breathed a long sigh of relief."
"'Yun'er...'"
"Suddenly, footsteps could be heard from outside the door."
"As the footsteps grew closer, Yun Shang's expression tensed instantly, her heart beating faster. She didn't know what to do and dared not move."
"She was afraid, wondering what awaited her if she opened her eyes."
"However, the more she didn't move, the closer the footsteps came. They reached the door, which suddenly swung open."
"A tall, slender figure appeared, holding an ancient book in his hand. His dark hair fluttered in the wind, and he wore a white brocade robe, looking like a jade tree in the wind."
"The man slowly walked to the bedside, holding the ancient book forward to Yun Shang: 'Yun'er, I have already chosen the wedding date for you. Within three days, I will arrange for you to marry me. Let's get married.'"
"'You...' Yun Shang was terrified. 'How can you...'"
"'How can I not? I like you, and I want to marry you!'"
"'But...'"
"'Yun'er, you don't need to worry. Your father will definitely not object. Moreover, he will be very happy to fulfill our wishes. After all, you marrying me will protect his empire. How could he possibly disagree with such a beneficial transaction?'"
"Yun Shang's breath caught in her throat!"
"'So, you must cooperate with me obediently.'"
"'' Yun Shang's eyes widened. 'You...'"
"'Yun'er, be obedient, or I won't mind planting a蛊虫 (gu worm) in your body.'"
"'You...' Yun Shang gritted her teeth, glaring at him, but could do nothing."
"'After we get married, I will send you home, and then I will take you away, to live in seclusion from the world. You will be very happy.'"
"Yun Shang was startled by his words: 'You want to kill me?'"
"'How could I? I just want you to be my woman!'"
"'No!' Yun Shang screamed."
"She never imagined that one day she would be forcibly kissed by a man who claimed to like her!"
"Furthermore... did he just say he wanted to silence her?"
"She didn't believe it!"
"'Yun'er, I know you doubt me, but it's okay. I have plenty of time to play with you slowly. When you truly accept me, I will show you that I am the one who loves you the most in this world!'"
"Yun Shang trembled all over, constantly retreating backward."
"She had never encountered someone like this."
"How could he..."
"How could he do such a thing?"
"Didn't he know the profound shadow his words cast upon a young girl's heart, causing her to fall into nightmares countless times?"
"'Yun'er, don't be afraid. I was just joking. You know I would never bear to hurt you.'"
"'I don't want to hear your nonsense!' Yun Shang covered her ears. 'I don't want to be with you!'"
"'Yun'er, I said I would marry you. You are my future queen, and I will not give up.'"
"'Go away!' Yun Shang screamed, tears falling one by one from her eyes. 'Go away!'"
"'I can leave, but before I do, I want to tell you something. Don't you like Qin Mo? He is in Nanyang City right now, and he is even preparing betrothal gifts for your wedding with Qin Su!'"
"Boom!"
"Yun Shang felt like a thunderclap sounded in her mind."
"Qin Su was getting married?"
"Her wedding with Qin Su?"
"How could this be possible?"
"'You're lying!' Yun Shang staggered to her feet, stumbling towards the door. 'Qin Su wouldn't get married. He promised me he wouldn't marry any other woman!'"
"'Are you sure you can see Qin Su?'"
"'Let me go see him!' Yun Shang roared with reddened eyes. 'I must explain it to him in person and tell him not to marry another woman!'"
"'Heh, this is my territory. Do you think I would allow you to see Qin Su?'"
"'Then I will find him and clarify things!'"
"'' The man narrowed his eyes, a cold smile on his lips. He walked behind Yun Shang, put his arm around her waist, and drew her into his embrace. He sniffed the fragrance of her hair and said in a low, hoarse voice, 'Yun'er, don't go. I don't want you to get hurt again.'"
"'Let go of me, you scoundrel! You devil, let go of me!' Yun Shang struggled desperately."
"'I'll let you go, but only if you promise to be my bride. Otherwise, you won't see Qin Su.'"
"'Dream on! I will not be your woman!' Yun Shang glared at him fiercely."
"'You will be. Sooner or later, you will be my woman!'"
"'I said I won't!' Yun Shang screamed."
"The man's lips curled into a cold, sinister smile."
