Li Xian was never meant to survive the war-let alone marry its victor.
Forced into a political marriage with Zhao Wei, the emperor of Liang, Li Xian becomes a living symbol of defeat, trapped inside a palace that watches his every move. Refusing to bow, he plans his escape through rumors, disguises, and dangerous schemes-each one more desperate than the last.
But the emperor is not as unaware as Li Xian believes.
As plans fail and hatred deepens, truths long buried begin to surface, revealing that Zhao Wei's cruelty is born from a past soaked in betrayal and loss. What begins as vengeance turns into something far more dangerous-a connection neither of them can escape.
A story of power, pride, and forbidden love-
where survival itself becomes an act of rebellion.
"He tried to escape the marriage. He never expected to survive it."

THE MASKED GENERAL
The man stood beneath the trees-cloaked in black, the same mask covering half his face. But those eyes... dark, burning, unmistakable. "Yibo," Zhan whispered, like saying a prayer. Neither moved for a long moment. Then, all at once, he ran. The world blurred, wind and trees and time folding away. He slammed into Yibo's chest, arms wrapping tight, as if to anchor himself to something real. "I waited," Zhan choked. "I never stopped waiting." Yibo's mask hit the ground. His arms circled Zhan, trembling. "I never stopped loving you." There were no royal duties here. No lies. No blood. Just two men who had survived everything but each other. When they kissed, it tasted like everything they had lost-and everything they still had time to find.
