The Third Year of Forced Marriage

Lin Shutang first met Shen Jun at the city gates of Yizhou border at the age of sixteen.

The youth at the time was covered in blood and pale-faced, only his eyes were dark and bright, staring vigilantly at the approaching people.

Without a word, Lin Shutang threw the barely breathing person onto her goods-carrying donkey cart and took him away.

It wasn't for anything else. Someone with such jade-like quality and pine-like integrity shouldn't be left here, otherwise he might suffer the humiliation of crawling under someone's crotch.

During their months together in Yizhou, the man was as gentle as jade and had graceful manners.

To repay her kindness, he discussed strategies with her and repeatedly saved the Jingmu Hall from collapsing like a great building about to fall.

Because of this, Lin Shutang never imagined that such a broad-minded and modest gentleman would one day turn into a repulsive demon.

He personally led the black iron armored soldiers to surround her wedding.

Just because of some drunken nonsense, she had grabbed his hand and begged him to stay in Yizhou.

She thought they were friends.

But she didn't realize that only he had misunderstood her intentions and took it seriously...

-

He forcefully took her to Yujing. In the secluded courtyard for two years, he demanded his fill every night.

Lin Shutang couldn't bear it anymore, waiting for him to get tired. But she didn't expect to wait for a marriage certificate...

-

In the third year of being forced to marry Shen Jun, Lin Shutang was forced to give birth to their child.

He thought the child could ease their relationship, but he didn't expect it to become the last straw that broke Lin Shutang.

In the dense night in the forest, firelight filled the sky.

Shen Jun was covered in blood, grabbing Lin Shutang who was trying to escape.

His eyes turned crimson as he pressed in inch by inch, gloomy like a ghost, reproaching and questioning, "Atang, are you abandoning me and the child?"

Lin Shutang was so frightened her soul scattered, suppressing her fear with great effort, saying word by word, "Shen Jun, I don't like you."

Heh, don't like him...

He nodded as if he understood, and the next day, he sent the eyes of her childhood friend to her...

Whatever you like, I will give it to you.

Pre-order "Who Allowed You to Approach My Aunt?!"

— Aunt, they all could do it, so why can't I?

Princess Chaoyang went to the Northern Region for a political marriage at sixteen, and by the time the new Emperor ascended the throne and broke through the Northern Region at twenty-one, he finally brought her back.

The nephew who was once despised by everyone suddenly became the Emperor controlling the life and death of all under heaven, while Chaoyang, who had once taken care of him, also rose with the tide, granted the title of Grand Princess Xianchao with the honor of a thousand households' food revenue.

It was said in the public that the new Emperor had a indifferent temperament and shallow fate with his relatives, killing all his brothers and father, but he was the only one who had deep affection and righteousness for his own Aunt.

Therefore, when Princess Chaoyang requested to be able to continue her past relationship with her childhood friend, the new Emperor happily agreeing was really not a strange thing.

But who would have thought, only three months after the grand wedding, the驸马 (princess' husband) was accused of treason and colluding with the enemy. Facing pressure from the court and the public, the new Emperor had to execute him with extreme punishment.

The Emperor pitied the Princess for losing her husband consecutively, fearing her mood would be depressed, so he specially brought her into the palace to nourish her body.

But only Chaoyang knew that the golden hall and the imperial tent, the pearls and jade and silk brocades, were all prisons forged for her by hand.

Countless late nights, this beast with a human face and animal heart pressed her down and did all shameless acts, in the whispering lingering, questioning repeatedly. "Aunt, they all could do it, so why can't I?"

"Between me and those dead people, who makes Aunt feel more comfortable?"

Note: Pseudo-pseudo relationship (pseudo incest). The female lead is not pure/chaste.
