"Do it yourself!"

A man's ominous voice dragged Li Yun from the bottomless black hole. She slowly opened her eyes, and was greeted by glaring massive red and a man's handsome but glacier-like cold face.

Li Yun unconsciously recoiled.

"Heh... How ridiculous, do you really think you can feign modesty?" Dongfang Che's body approached Li Yun, his eyes filled with nothing but mockery and sneers.

Li Yun was frightened by Dongfang Che's voice, the fiery red satin quilt slid down, revealing her jade-like shoulders.

"Who are you?" she clutched herself tightly, her face guarded.

Hadn't she proven her innocence by jumping off a building and died? Why would she suddenly appear in a stranger's bed?

She quickly scanned the room.

Before she could figure it out, her delicate chin was forcibly pinched by someone. Li Yun was forced to lift her head to look at him, in front of her was a pair of long and seductive phoenix eyes, which were emanating an icy prickly gaze.

"Heh... Who am I?" Dongfang Che's gaze added a few points of disgust at Li Yun, "Li Yun, you sought death by committing suicide, forcing me to consummate our marriage, and now you're pretending to be a virtuous and fervent women here, don't you find it ridiculous? I've never seen a more shameless woman than you … "

After saying that, Dongfang Che threw his hand away harshly. Li Yun was caught off guard and bumped into the hard mahogany bed frame.

Li Yun only felt a splitting headache. How could she possibly do such a foolish thing as hanging herself for a man?

“I didn’t…”

"Why did you make Xing'er kneel on the tiles?"

Thinking about the wounds on Xing'er's knees, and looking at Li Yun's pretendingly innocent and pure demeanor, Dongfang Che felt ever more infuriated. Any trace of softness that surfaced in his heart disappeared without a trace, and the force he exerted increased a few points.

"I..."

Li Yun just felt as though her heart was pierced by a sword, the pain made her speak in halting sentences.

"A dignified princess of the Li kingdom, the seventh princess of the Eastern kingdom, actually learning the seduction tactics of women of the wind and dust, how shameless!" Eastern Che squinted his long phoenix eyes and sneered coldly, his tone filled with disdain.

The man in front of her was clearly cold and harsh to her, but her heart couldn't hate him. Instead, she wanted to get closer to him.

She immediately realized that her body may love the man in front of her deeply, which made her have such masochistic complex feelings.

"Get out!"

"Mm..." The next second, her lips were enveloped by a pair of slightly cool ones.

Li Yun stared at Eastern Che’s handsome face with her clear and firm eyes. Not until she felt the cool touch on her lips and the strong scent of bamboo lingered in her nostrils.

What? This man had actually kissed her like this?

"Let me go..." She exerted force to push Eastern Che away. She was Li Yun, not that stupid princess.

However, the disparity between men and women's strength was far too great. Her resistance, on the contrary, stirred up Eastern Che’s possessive desire as a man.

"I warn you, put away your little tricks, or else..." Eastern Che's wicked eyes gleamed with a nameless fire, but through those phoenix eyes, Li Yun saw endless hope.

"You bastard..." Li Yun was on the verge of crying, she struggled hard, her hands flailed randomly.

But Eastern Che pinned her down without any effort, leaving her unable to move.

His brutish kiss for some reason gradually softened a bit. However, Li Yun didn't notice at all. Her slightly trembling body just felt pain everywhere.

However, she was not willing to surrender herself, even if this body was not hers. She shut her eyes tightly and bit down hard.

"Mmh..." Dongfang Che groaned softly, tasting a hint of metallic sweetness in his mouth.

With incredulity, he looked at the fear-induced trembling figure of Li Yun on the bed. His eyes suddenly darkened, as if a fierce fire was burning within them...

Suddenly, Dongfang Che forcefully grasped Li Yun's delicate chin and said coldly, "Fine, if you want to play it this way, then I'll comply!"

Dongfang Che abruptly gripped Li Yun’s delicate chin with an exceedingly cold voice.

After saying that, Dongfang Che swiftly invaded Li Yun’s body.

Li Yun was almost overwhelmed by the sudden brute force, enough to make her faint.

However, her last bit of pathetic dignity forced her to bite her lip, refusing to let herself emit any voice of shame.

Even though the ripping pain was shattering her heart, she endured and bit down on her fair lip. She bit down so hard that her throat seemed to be filled with the thick taste of blood.

And Dongfang Che, looking at the pained woman underneath him, didn't understand why his cold eyes suddenly filled with endless fury.

"Li Yun, isn't this exactly what you've been scheming for? Who are you pretending for now?!"

Looking at the woman beneath him who remained silent, Dongfang Che's eyes flashed with scorn.

This woman really knows how to act, but unfortunately, he Dongfang Che is not an easily fooled man.

And Li Yun, her frail body so powerless at this moment, could only endure his violent demands, like a lone boat amidst the wind...

What's most infuriating... she doesn't even know who the man in front of her is.

No, didn't he just claim to be the Seventh Prince's wife and a princess from the Li Nation? Then isn't this man who stands before her, insulting her, the Seventh Prince of the East Kingdom?

At the moment, she has no heart for anything else. All she wants is for this pain, which seems to be tearing her apart, to end quickly. She thinks she might faint...

When it's all over, Dongfang Che gets dressed in his bright red wedding robe, not even glancing at the woman curled up on the bed before striding out the door.

The cold wind from outside washes over her, and the princess of Li Yun seated on the exquisite phoenix bed shivers. She doesn't understand whether it is Dongfang Che that makes her feel cold, or the incoming frosty wind.

Suddenly, the door creaks open once more, and Li Yun cautiously glances at the entrance.

An elderly matron walks in, accompanied by two maids, carrying a bowl of black medicinal broth in her hand.

“Who are you?" Li Yun glances at the unusual smelling broth and becomes even more suspicious.

"Princess, this humble servant bows in your presence. This is the fertility-abatement soup, prepared for you by His Highness!" The old matron's face is stern, showing no courtesy or respect to Li Yun.

"Fertility-abatement soup? Take it away, I will not drink it!" Li Yun rejects firmly.

She is a modern Western doctor and is fully aware that the so-called fertility-abatement soup of ancient times is not much different from safflower, only a slightly smaller dose. She knows it is absolutely not a beverage to be frivolously consumed as it can cause immense harm to a woman's health.

The old matron reveals her icy white teeth, breaking into a cold smile.

"Your Highness, don't forget this is the residence of the Seventh Prince, not the palace of the Li princess. Here, it's not up to Princess Li whether to refuse or not!"
