Luckily, she became a beloved county princess, with the king treating her like a treasure. However, she had a father who only cared about the pleasures of life, which was as good as not having one. But who would have expected that the tyrant, who was domineering, cruel, and capricious, insisted on bringing her into the palace to clean up his concubines and eventually shower her with his sole favor. She felt speechless about this temperamental emperor. When he was domineering, he would say, "If you dare to betray me, I will personally destroy you." When he was gentle, he would say, "Darling, you are my heart." When he was angry, he would say, "Chu Yanran, I really want to eat your flesh and drink your blood." When they were in danger, he would say, "Ran'er, you are my life. If anything happens to you, I will let this splendid kingdom accompany you in death, including myself."
