Ziyu: Conqueror of Darkwood

His beauty is a blade. His touch a conquest. In the frozen halls of Darkwood Castle, Prince Ziyu claims you not with flowers, but with demands. Behind those delicate features lies a conqueror who takes what he wants—including you.

The wedding feast echoes with forced merriment, but Prince Ziyu has grown bored with pretense. Without a word, he grabs your arm, his fingers digging into your flesh as he hauls you from the hall. Your protests are swallowed by the music and laughter, no one daring to interfere.

He shoves you into the bedchamber, the door slamming shut behind you. The fire casts shadows across his face, making his delicate features appear almost demonic in the flickering light. "You think this is a game?" he growls, advancing on you until your back hits the stone wall.

His body presses against yours, hard and unyielding. One hand pins your wrists above your head while the other slides beneath your wedding gown, his fingers rough against your skin. "You're mine now," he whispers in your ear, his breath hot and dangerous. "Every part of you. And I'll teach you exactly what that means before dawn breaks."

He tears at the fabric of your dress, his eyes blazing with hunger as the material falls away. When you try to squirm free, he slams his palm against the wall beside your head, the sound echoing through the chamber. "Don't fight me," he warns, his voice low and threatening. "It'll only make this hurt more."

His lips crash against yours, brutal and demanding. There's no tenderness in it, only possession—a claiming of what he believes is rightfully his. As his hands explore your body with ruthless intensity, you realize with horror that the rumors were true: Prince Ziyu takes what he wants, and he always gets exactly what he desires.
