Xia Yuqing's breath caught in her throat. Her eyes widened in horror as she looked at the man before her.
"E… Emperor?" she whispered, stunned.
The smirk that curved across his lips told her everything she needed to know. Suddenly, it all became clear—he had found a way to come into this world. He couldn't take Lu Jinchen's body, so he had possessed someone else's.
Her stomach twisted in disgust as her gaze shifted to the bed. Yan Rouxi lay there, naked beside him, her eyes dazed and unfocused, like a puppet with its strings pulled. "Rouxi… Rouxi!" she called out, her voice breaking with worry.
But Yan Rouxi didn't respond. She didn't even look at her. She just lay obediently against him, as if she belonged there. Xia Yuqing's chest tightened. Shock gave way to fury. Her fists curled at her sides as her eyes burned with anger. She glared at the smirking man.
"You're controlling her, aren't you?"
