I Wanted to Escape, But Became the Tyrant's Dearest

share time: 2025-12-25 12:34:05

Maid Su Wan had saved silver for three years, finally ready to climb the palace wall and escape tonight—she’d timed the guard patrols perfectly, with a “freedom list” under her pillow: eating hot toffee on West Street, watching monkey shows at the temple fair, staying at the alley inn. But she slipped and fell into a warm embrace—looking up, it was Xiao Jingyan, the tyrant rumored to have beheaded three ministers! Even more surprising, the tyrant’s ears were bright red, his hands shaking as he held her, and he ordered the imperial kitchen to make ten boxes of sugar figurines overnight, saying, “Never mention escaping again. In my palace, you’ll have all the sugar figurines you want… and you have to stay with me.” Su Wan was stunned: Where was her freedom? Why had this bloodthirsty emperor suddenly become a “clingy person” who chased her to feed her sugar? Later, she discovered that years ago, she’d given a little prince osmanthus candy in the imperial garden—and that little prince was the current tyrant—he’d waited ten years for her to fall into his arms.
