The Night Before Leaving the Palace: Trapped by the Tyrant

share time: 2025-12-30 06:05:14

Ye Wan, a lowly maid who’d waited three years to leave the palace, finally got the Empress Dowager’s permission—tomorrow she’d reunite with her fiancé A Lin outside the city. That night, as she counted her savings in the woodshed, Emperor Xiao Li, reeking of wine, pinned her against the wall. The tyrant rumored to skin people alive gripped her chin with a smirk: “Want to leave? First repay the ‘life-saving favor’ from three years ago.” Ye Wan recalled saving a bloodied “eunuch” back then—only for Xiao Li to pull out A Lin’s portrait from her bundle: the man in the painting was exactly that “eunuch”! It turned out Xiao Li had known her feelings all along; he’d sent a spy to pose as A Lin to lure her into escaping. All just to trap this woman who’d evaded him for three years, forever in his world.
