not mine
I kinda like this story already 😃
With the enemy at the gates, the king of a country, sitting on the dragon chair, still turned a deaf ear to the outside world, holding the beauty in his arms and enjoying himself.
What's even more ridiculous is that the emperor wants to send the mother of a country, Yan Zhaozhao, to the old emperor of the enemy country to marry in exchange for peace. The emperor and the empress
hated each other and had no feelings for each other.
The emperor hated her very much, and so did Yan Zhaozhao.
When she was desperate, Yan Zhaozhao, who was in her prime, wore a thin red dress and pushed open the door of the regent Xie Ciyan that night.
It is rumored that the regent Xie Ciyan was dark and cold, without a trace of popularity, like a cold corpse without emotions.
But since that night, after a beautiful figure in red appeared in his arms, Xie Ciyan could no longer act as an emotionless puppet.
A chance encounter is like a pot of strong liquor.
Before tasting, the bones are drunk.
Dark and cold regent x scheming beautiful queen
1v1
Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong?
***
It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed.
Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out?
Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her?
Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires.
