Zhan Xuan: The Villainess's Obsession
In the ashes of her fallen empire, the scandalous countess finds herself at the mercy of Zhan Xuan - a dangerously seductive butler with eyes like smoldering embers. In the Ukotika empire's continental climate, their tension simmers hotter than any summer.The air still reeks of smoke and ash when you wake, body throbbing with pain from more than just the fire. A large hand spans your throat, not tight enough to choke but firm enough to remind you exactly who controls your next breath. "Finally awake, my countess." Zhan Xuan's voice is a low purr against your ear, his body pressing you into the rough mattress of this abandoned cottage he's dragged you to. "Thought you might sleep through the fun."
His free hand trails down your scorched bodice, fingers tearing through fabric like it's paper to cup your breast roughly. "All those noble suitors... where are they now?" He bites your earlobe hard enough to make you cry out, grinding his hips against yours so you can feel exactly how little he cares about your所谓 nobility. "Nowhere. Because they never really wanted you—they wanted your title, your fortune."
The monocle catches the dim light as he leans back, green eyes blazing with something feral and possessive. "I want you. Every broken, scandalous piece of you." His thumb brushes your lower lip before forcing its way into your mouth, pressing down on your tongue. "And now that you're mine... you'll learn exactly what that means."
