It was just tight enough, and wouldn’t make her feel uncomfortable .
It was cast after taking measurements . It couldn’t be broken by blades or melted with fire, and couldn’t be opened without the key .
After making sure he restrained the little emperor, he locked the other end of the chain around a support column .
Like this, she was completely trapped and couldn’t go anywhere .
Bai Weiwei looked incredulously at the chain on her ankle and became angry . “What are you doing? Imprisoning me?”
Xie Yunting approached her, looking sinister . He silently lowered his head and kissed her .
This kiss was fierce and restricting, so entangling that she couldn’t breathe and trembled all over .
The kiss was long and tortuous .
When it was finished, Bai Weiwei’s face was shockingly pale, and she recoiled .

Xie Yunting also gasped in a low voice . He carefully caressed her eyebrows, her lips, her collarbone, her skin, everything .
Bai Weiwei struggled but could do nothing else .
She began to softly plead, but he ignored her . He caressed her but didn’t take any further action .
Bai Weiwei began to doubt life .
After the touching, she just wanted to go to sleep .
And it was then that Xie Yunting suddenly stopped, and held her in his arms .
She later realized that he was shaking, and tears soaked her shoulder .
He was crying…
Bai Weiwei reached up to pat his back but hesitated a moment before she retracted her hand .

Her heart was touched for a moment, but in a flash, it vanished .
She remained calm and rational .
And the system watching on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief as it further enhanced the emotion stripping effect .
Xie Yunting didn’t know how long he had been hugging her .
When he finally had the strength, he stood up, turned around, and walked out step by step .
His voice was calmly indifferent, and his words were like blades dripping with blood . “From today on, you can’t go anywhere else . You can try to escape, but…
He’d already reached the door . He turned coldly, and the sunlight came in, sharply defining his frosty appearance .
“But you’ll never be able to run from me . Even if the palace hall can’t trap you, I can still use the tightly guarded imperial palace as a cage . If the imperial palace isn’t big enough, then I’ll use the world to trap you1 . ”
Bai Weiwei felt that she had awakened a lone wolf .

No, a tyrant .
Xie Yunting sneered . “Since you don’t want my love, as long as I return to being that wildly ambitious superior, I will overturn the world for you to see . ”
Bai Weiwei frowned . “What are you doing?”
Xie Yunting said coldly, “Do what I should have done from the start, and change this country’s name . ”
After that, he ignored her and walked out .
Then Bai Weiwei vaguely heard him instruct others outside .
It was to increase the number of guards and not allow anyone to go in and out of the palace .
When Bai Weiwei determined that Xie Yunting really had left, she lay flat, weakly complaining: “Tired, ah . Originally it was a simple drama about secret love in the court . Thanks to the broken side quest it’s collapsed into this abusive dog blood drama . My heart is tired, ah, Tong’er2 . ”
System: Tong’er…
Its heart was even more tired .
“Why are you forcing the male lead into becoming emperor?”
Bai Weiwei thought hard . “Just thinking, only the emperor deserves such a noble me . ”
System: “Be serious . ”
Bai Weiwei: “Where am I not serious? I’m an emperor, and who wouldn’t care about getting married to someone of equal status3 . Of course, only an emperor would match an emperor; poor people and low-status households4 won’t have a good end . ”
System: …so, all this abuse, is to end up with a good match?
1: The first part of the sentence refers to 宫殿 (gōng diàn), the building where the emperor handles political affairs or holds banquets . The imperial palace 皇宫 (huáng gōng) is where the emperor and his wives, concubines, and children lived . At first, I wasn’t sure why the palace hall was mentioned first, but I’m guessing that the logic goes like “You don’t like being/working as the emperor? House arrest . House too small? The ~ w o r l d ~ is my prison . ”↩
2: A cutesy pet name for the system, made by taking the second character and adding the diminutive “er”↩
3: 门当户对: an appropriate match; families who are well-matched in terms of social status . I . e . a duke marrying a duke vs a duke marrying a baron or (heaven forbid) a C O M M O N E R . ↩
4: 壕门 literally says moat/trench door/gate? I just made do with the context . ↩
