Synopsis

Mum ran away, dad's crippled, and I'm about to be sold to a brothel. Qiao Xiaomai rolled up her sleeves in anger: If you've taken from me, regurgitate it. If you've seized what's mine, return it. All scumbags, clear off. A certain man finished tidying up the mess, rolled up his sleeves and pulled Qiao Xiaomai into a light laugh: "My lady, if you're this fiery and domineering at night, your husband..." Qiao Xiaomai raised an eyebrow, patted the spot next to her: "My dear, come warm the bed~"

Chapter 1Chapter 1 Mother Has Run Away

In early spring, the tender greenery adorned Rooster Mountain.

Qiao Xiaomai, clad in threadbare hemp garments, was just coming down the mountain path with a bundle of firewood on her back when she heard her neighbor, Aunt Guilan, hollering from the distance. "Xiaomai! Hurry home, your mother has run off with the peddler from Changlai Village!"

Zhuang Luhe had run away?

Qiao Xiaomai was stunned.

"What are you dawdling for? Go home now!" Aunt Guilan gestured to her.

Regaining her wits, Qiao Xiaomai hurriedly jogged towards her home.

On the run, Aunt Guilan explained, "Your mother and your sister-in-law Chunhua went to the town to sell sweet potatoes this morning. Next thing we knew, she was nowhere to be found. Someone later saw her following that peddler in the direction of County Town!"

Qiao Xiaomai bit her lip, clutching the firewood tighter on her back, and sped up.

The family home of Qiao Xiaomai was located at the extreme west of Anping Village. Their new house, made of blue bricks and roof tiles, was particularly eye-catching among the row of run-down earth-walled houses in the village.

When Qiao Xiaomai arrived home, a crowd had already gathered. Her father, Qiao Changshun, sat on a stone outside the house, sighing sorrowfully.

"Father!" Qiao Xiaomai rushed over and called out, after which she looked coldly at a long-faced woman among the onlookers. "Sister-in-law Chunhua, you went to town with my mother today. Did you see her run away with someone?"

Li Chunhua slapped her thigh and raised her voice, "We both went to town today. She went to sell her sweet potatoes, I went to sell my embroidery. We agreed to meet at the town gate at noon."

"She disappeared at noon. I went to ask around, and some people said she followed a man towards County Town. That man is the peddler who often visits our village. Many people in town recognize him!"

Qiao Xiaomai nodded, "Thank you, Sister-in-law Chunhua, for bringing this news to my father and me."

She said, pulling Changshun up from the stone and stepping into the courtyard, closing the gate with a "bang", blocking out the gossip and curious gazes from outside.

She entered the kitchen, put down the firewood from her back, and then lifted the lid of the flour jar to look inside.

It was empty. The remaining three pounds of black flour and half a pound of white flour were gone.

She then ran to the hall, turned over the iron box under Chanshun's bed to find it empty, with dozens of copper coins missing.

Staring at the empty iron box, she bit her lip and stood up to check the big wooden cabinet for clothes. As she had thought, Zhuang Luhe's dress wasn't there; all that was left were a few old clothes belonging to Qiao Changshun and Qiao Dami.

Her previous suspicions were now confirmed.

Luhe, the biological mother of her body, had indeed eloped with someone.

"Xiaomai..." Qiao Changshun stood at the door, his thin, dark face filled with worry. Rubbing his large, calloused hands, he looked helpless.

It was all his fault.

He had broken his leg six months ago while helping someone build a house. Since then, not only could he not do heavy work, he needed to take medicine regularly. The once modest family was now the poorest in the village because of him.

So much so, that Luhe had tired of the poverty and run off with someone else.

Qiao Xiaomai took a deep breath, closed the cabinet, and said, "Father, life must go on."

Changshun looked at her calm face in bewilderment. If this had happened to anyone else, they would be in tears, yet Qiao Xiaomai merely furrowed her brows.

He started anxiously, "Xiaomai, is it…"

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a knock on the door. "Changshun, come out. I heard that your damn wife has run off with a strange man. Mother has come to see you!"

Aries Aime Heathcliffe. A princess from the small kingdom of Rikhill was loved by all. With her beauty that was enchantingly demure and a wise mind, she had caught a lot of attention and captured the hearts of many. One of them was the dashing crown prince of the Maganti Empire. Overcome by the desire to have her and his interest in the land of the small kingdom, the crown prince of the said empire would stop at nothing. The knights from the Maganti Empire marched across the masses and seized the four-hundred-year-old kingdom of Rikhill. The kingdom of Rikhill fell into ruin overnight. The crown prince left no members of the royal family alive aside from his war trophy, Aries. After suffering in his hands, Aries found the perfect chance to escape. That was when he took her to the world summit. A gathering of each sovereign from each kingdom and empire for peace talks. There, she met the emperor of Haimirich, Eustass Silvestri Abel Bloodworth. Overwhelm by desperation, Aries begged him to take her in. It was too late when she realized that the man she asked for help was far more cruel, twisted, and downright diabolical than the crown prince for taking her as his… pet! EXCERPT: With a pair of crimson eyes hovering over her, Aries held her breath. When the corner of his lips curled up devilishly, she couldn’t react fast as he swiftly flipped their position. She only realized it when she was saddling him, gazing down at Abel, wide-eyed. “No one is above me in this empire and even out — not even the law, but look at you,” he intoned with a devilish smirk. “Staring down on me… so daunting.” Aries bit her lip, planting her palm on her inked chest. “Your Majesty…” “Do you now understand the power you hold, darling?” Abel carefully wrapped his fingers around her wrist, chuffed by her reaction. “Only you, Aries, may go above me and the only person in this world who can look down on me. No one else.” He raised an arm and ran his fingers through the side of her hair, settling his palm on the back of her head before he pulled her down until her face was a palm length away from him. “You better use this at your own disposal,” he whispered, tilting his head as he lifted it up to claim what’s his. HER. Meet Eustass Silvestri Abel Bloodworth, the sadistic tyrant, who reigned an empire with an iron fist. With his pet, Aries’ increasing presence in his boring, dark life, he was set to kill her. But alas, every time he thought of taking her life, he finds himself changing his mind. The more he kept her by his side, the more it got harder to dispose of her. And the more he yearned for something deeper and darker... it was driving him insane. With a secret he was keeping from her, what would Abel do if Aries found out about the rotting truth behind the empire and the emperor? Would he kill her? Or kiss her? Perhaps cage her? And if she found out that Abel wasn’t just a normal human, would she try to escape? Or would she accept that he wasn’t just a demon incarnate? In a complicated world that tainted them black, was love even possible to bloom between a pet and her master? Watch as these two play the dangerous and insane game of love and lust. Who would be the master and the pet? Who was the prey?
