Latest Forced Love Novel

Synopsis: Voluptuous Naive Beauty x Aloof Feudal Patriarch

Jing Yao was naturally born charming and voluptuous. Upon reaching adulthood, her stepmother, to secure a future for her younger brother, turned around and sent her to be a concubine to the brother-in-law of her 'white moonlight' cousin.

She was honest and timid by nature. After entering the household, her voluptuous figure made her uniquely favored, but this unexpectedly drew the jealousy of the main wife. Torment and oppression became common. What troubled her most was that the mistress often complained and reported her to her cousin.

Her cousin, He Anting, was the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, known for his upright and just character, pure as jade. He always disdained women who swayed their slender waists and cast flirtatious glances, women who appeared to stir up trouble in the household.

Coincidentally, Jing Yao possessed exactly such a face.

He Anting utterly loathed her. Using the excuse of reprimanding his brother-in-law, he warned her: "Seducing the master to favor a concubine over his wife is an act that ruins a family's reputation. You had best know your place and behave yourself."

Under the disdainful gazes of everyone, she felt utterly mortified and shed tears of injustice. Could she be blamed for simply being born this way?

From then on, she wished she could stay far away from her cousin, to avoid further dislike.

Until one day, she was taken by the Shizi to a spring hunt. Unluckily, she entered the wrong room and, by chance, encountered her cousin who had been drugged. His hot breath suddenly sprayed against her ear...

After a night of madness, fortunately, He Anting didn't know who she was. Knowing his aversion towards her, she discreetly left, hiding far away, pretending that nothing had happened that night.

Yet, He Anting was determined to scour the earth to find the woman from that night.

...

On the day of the family banquet, Lingyun Earl's Estate was filled with joy, for Jing Yao was pregnant.

However, her smile was forced, and she nervously clutched her belly, looking pale and guilty.

Her cousin, who had always treated her with cold disdain, now gazed at her intently, even carefully adding a soft cushion for her.

As night fell, whispers and sounds of struggle emanated from the rockery in the Earl's estate.

He Anting's tall figure exuded an oppressive aura. Jing Yao, looking around in a panic, wary of his approach, exclaimed: "Don't talk nonsense! This child has nothing to do with you!"

He Anting, however, pressed closer step by step. He, who was usually the epitome of restraint, now spoke ambiguously and presumptuously: "It doesn't matter if there's no relation. I'd certainly be a better father than the Shizi. Yao Yao, why don't you consider me?"

The talented, vivid beauty × the iceberg–cold, abstinent noble heir

Su Li was betrothed to the second young master of the aristocratic Cui clan, Cui Ming, since they were children.

Because of this marriage, she had always moved in and out of the great gates of the Cui family. She was clever and adorable, pleasing the old and young of the household—yet only the eldest son, Cui Jue, treated her with icy detachment. No matter how diligently she curried favor, he remained unmoved and even forbade her from approaching his living quarters, the Shuyue Pavilion.

Until the day she was finally wedded into the Cui family… and Cui Ming died on their wedding night.

Pitiful Su Li became a widow while still a virgin.

The Cui family cherished her; to give the lovely widow someone to rely upon, they asked the eldest son, Cui Jue, to "inherit both branches" and provide her with a child to secure her future.

Su Li knew full well that Cui Jue disliked her and assumed he would refuse outright—yet the servant returned with an invitation for her to come to Shuyue Pavilion, for Cui Jue had given a single-word answer: "Agreed."

The Eastern Wu Cui, a clan of towering power. Their heir, Cui Jue, is spotless in conduct and dazzling in intellect; everyone believes that under his leadership the family will remain illustrious for another century. Such a lofty, jade-like eldest son is revered by all, and no one dares transgress him.

But the young sister-in-law is pitiable and wants to remain chaste for her dead husband. The Cui, who watched her grow up, can’t bear it. In two years Cui Jue will in any case marry; rather than let some serving-girl benefit, why not offer this kindness to the widowed Su Li and leave her with a son or daughter?

Fortunately Cui Jue, out of consideration for his late brother, pondered for a long time and finally consented.

Su Li understands that Cui Jue is indifferent to women. Each encounter is a transaction: he never kisses her, never caresses her; once done he leaves without a backward glance. She knows her place—after she conceives she will stay far away and trouble him no more.

But nearly a year passes and no pregnancy comes.

Then one day, desperate to escape the clan, she feigns pregnancy, saying she needs to spend her confinement in the countryside. Yet on the very day she abandons her carriage and flees, Cui Jue leads troops to surround her. Blocking her path, his phoenix eyes icy and terrifying, he grips her chin and demands:

"I have taken contraceptive decoctions—so tell me, whose bastard is in your belly?"

Reading notes: very strong flavor; male lead is extremely "dog". If you can’t accept such tastes, read cautiously and respect differing preferences. 1. Both leads are virgins; contains forced love + frosty noble goes yandere + lots of melodrama. 2. The first husband is dead for good—this is simply a widow marrying her former brother-in-law. 3. Fictional dynasty; 90% anti-theft. 4. Only the double-virgin guarantee is certain; other tropes come unfiltered. Proceed with caution.

Synopsis:

[Brotherly Rivalry / Forced Love / Regret Arc]

Ning Zherou was an orphaned girl from a border town. She married Lu Chen when he was at his lowest, having just fallen from a pampered noble to a mud-splattered, broken-legged lowly soldier. For three years of their marriage, she braved wind and snow for late-night house calls, just to earn money to treat his leg. When the city fell and danger struck, she dragged him out from a pile of corpses, using her slender shoulders to single-handedly save his life.

Zherou believed they were a young couple deeply in love, but it wasn't until she followed Lu Chen to the capital that she realized everything had changed. The Lu Chen who once had eyes only for her one day impatiently told her not to be jealous, all for the sake of another woman. The Lu Chen who once promised never to forsake her in this life went to accompany another woman on a lake excursion, picking lotus flowers and watching fireworks, on the very day she was pregnant and secretly harmed.

It turned out she was merely Lu Chen's "coarse wife" from his hard times, while that noble lady was his perfect match, a bright moon equal in status. Her perceived youthful deep affection was, in the end, nothing but a joke. With a heart turned to ashes, Zherou drank a bowl of safflower, aborting the child she had painstakingly tried to protect, and left the capital. She no longer wanted to be "Madam Lu"; she only wanted to be herself.

***

Lu Chen never imagined Zherou would leave. Even if they argued, she would surely be the soft-hearted one to come back first. But she truly ran away. The day he finally learned of her whereabouts, Lu Chen, despite his severe injuries, galloped a hundred miles through the rain to her medical clinic. Yet, when the door opened, the person who emerged was not her.

Instead, it was his sworn brother, his cousin and young prince Xie Yunzhou. Lu Chen felt his blood instantly rush backward, his eyes reddening as he questioned in a deep voice, "Why are you here? Where is Zhaozhao?!" Xie Yunzhou, wearing only an inner garment with a loose collar, his eyes and brows still carrying a hint of spring, smiled at him. "She doesn't want to see you."

***

From that day on, Lu Chen completely lost his mind. She was his wife; even if they couldn't share the same bed in life, then in death, they must share the same grave.

Revised reading tips based on feedback:

1. The female lead is not a virgin (女非), the male lead is a virgin (男C). The second male lead eventually wins. It's a stage-by-stage 1v1, a melodramatic love-hate story. The female lead is not love-struck but also not cold-hearted. The plot is melodramatic, and the emotions are bitter-sweet, not a typical revenge story where the female lead "slaps faces" (gets revenge). Those who prefer a cold-hearted, vengeful female lead should be warned.

2. The male lead is an obsessive mad dog. The main plot is about forced possession. The second male lead has less screen time but ultimately becomes the endgame.

3. Slow-burn. The early pace is slow. The male lead is pure in body and mind, only loves the female lead, and there's a hidden reason for his involvement with the supporting female character, with no intimate contact. Their total on-screen interaction is no more than five or six hundred characters throughout the entire novel.

“The most ridiculous thing in this world is that he burned my sincerity to ashes, he gave me a past full of scars, and with a light word, he dispelled old dreams, acting as if nothing happened.”
