What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? - Chapter 16

【After hearing Ye Liangyan’s account.】

【You feel the weight of this book in your hands, heavy as a thousand catties.】

【Though most of these women didn’t spend much time with you, there were moments of happiness.】

【But now, they have all died because of you.】

【Anger surges within you.】

【You don’t understand why Li Ruowang would do this.】

【Weren’t promises made in the beginning?】

【Didn’t she agree to let you pursue other women outside?】

【So why has so much blood been shed now? What does Li Ruowang really want to achieve?】

【Ye Liangyan tells you, emperors are all heartless. Never trust those so-called promises.】

【Words from people cannot be trusted!】

【You don’t care about these warnings; you immediately want to return to the palace and confront Li Ruowang.】

【Ye Liangyan warns that rash actions could cost lives.】

【Over the years, Li Ruowang has gained immense prestige within the Great Qian Dynasty.】

【And by virtue of the dynasty’s dragon qi, she has ascended to the Crossing Tribulation realm.】

【With such power, she is unmatched in the entire cultivation world.】

【And you, you’re not a child anymore; you can’t act on impulse.】

【Some things, it’s better to just think about them rather than act on them.】

【You stand in place, feeling a sense of powerlessness creeping into your heart.】

【Why did Li Ruowang marry you in the first place? Is it just to restrain you?】

【This question puzzles you endlessly.】

【The next day, you return to the palace again.】

【Everything is as calm as usual.】

【Li Ruowang is still as gentle and caring as ever.】

【It’s as if yesterday’s events never happened.】

【You look at this stunning Empress before you, unsure of how to react.】

【Three months pass in the blink of an eye.】

【During this time, you stay within the palace, never venturing out.】

【Li Ruowang seems genuinely happy.】

【She spends more and more time by your side every day.】

【She seems to truly love you.】

【Every day, she finds ways to give you gifts and make you happy.】

【You’ve thought before.】

【If Li Ruowang hadn’t killed so many people, perhaps you would really love her.】

【Time passes.】

【It’s Ye Liangyan’s birthday.】

【Already a high-ranking official, now with the status of an imperial relative. Everyone in the court respects him deeply.】

【His birthday celebration naturally has a full house.】

【Even Li Ruowang attends personally.】

【She doesn’t wear dragon robes, but a simple dress, identifying herself as a daughter-in-law.】

【This truly makes many people envy you deeply.】

【During the birthday feast, Ye Liangyan is quite joyful and drinks a bit too much.】

【Soon, he’s overcome by the alcohol, feeling drowsy.】

【You step forward to support him, escorting Ye Liangyan back to his bedroom.】

【Just as you are about to leave, suddenly, Ye Liangyan opens his eyes wide.】

【He takes out a jade pendant from his storage ring and puts it into your hand.】

【Ye Liangyan doesn’t want to see you melancholy all day.】

【So, at great cost, he established contact with one of the Five Great Sacred Lands, the Five Elements Temple.】

【As long as you go to the Five Elements Temple, the people there will protect you, and you can completely break free from Li Ruowang’s control.】

【You tightly grasp the jade pendant, looking at Ye Liangyan with some worry.】

【You fear that if Li Ruowang can’t find you, she might harm Ye Liangyan.】

【Ye Liangyan senses your concern. He directly tells you that he is a senior official of the Great Qian Dynasty with disciples everywhere. Li Ruowang won’t do anything to him.】

【After much deliberation, you decide to leave.】

【But as soon as you turn around, you see Li Ruowang standing at the door.】

【You instantly feel a chill run down your spine.】

【Ye Liangyan no longer pretends, slowly getting up.】

【Li Ruowang questions Ye Liangyan, she said she really loves you deeply.】

【As a father-in-law, why would he do something to break up a married couple?】

【Ye Liangyan explains that as a father, he can’t bear to see Ye Yu unhappy. So, he’s willing to give up everything to ensure Ye Yu’s freedom.】

【You are deeply moved.】

【But Li Ruowang’s next words send a chill down your spine.】

【Regardless of whether Ye Yu is happy or not, he must stay by her side. He can only belong to her alone. For him, she’s willing to go to war with the Sacred Lands, even if it means using all the country’s strength to keep him by her side.】

【As she says this, Li Ruowang smiles beautifully, but both you and Ye Liangyan sense her madness.】

【This isn’t just empty talk.】

【You know very well that Li Ruowang would actually do this.】

Watching this scene play out in his mind, Ye Yu’s lips twitched slightly.

Yandere!

Li Ruowang is definitely a textbook yandere.

A deadly yandere and a ruthless empress, who can handle this?

【From that day on, you are completely confined.】

【Not allowed to step out of the palace at all.】

【And Li Ruowang drops all pretenses.】

【She removes all the palace maids and court ladies, all replaced by eunuchs.】

【This is to prevent you from seeking companionship elsewhere.】

【At the same time, except for the hour she spends in court meetings every day, she spends the rest of her time by your side, watching your every move.】

【This scene is just like your childhood.】

【You play, she watches.】

【But unlike back then, you can’t find happiness in this period.】

【There are no new women to love you.】

【Your wandering heart begins to cool.】

【You’re stuck at the mid-stage of the Divine Transformation Realm, unable to make progress.】

【You feel lost.】

【You ask Li Ruowang what exactly she likes about you.】

【With so many men in the world, as the empress of the Great Qian Dynasty, she could choose anyone. Why fixate on him?】

【Li Ruowang tells you that from the moment she first saw you as a child, she decided that you could only belong to her.】

【No one else was allowed to take you away.】

【Over the fifty years, she felt like every day was an eternity.】

【You’ve had countless lovers among the immortal women.】

【And she, too, has slain countless of your immortal women!】

【This is the first time Li Ruowang has admitted such a thing in front of you.】

【You laugh heartily to the heavens.】

【A laugh filled with bitterness.】

【Two years later, you and Li Ruowang have a daughter.】

【Her name is Ye Nian.】@@novelbin@@

【Li Ruowang chose the name.】

【It means simply, “never forget, always remember, keep in mind at all times.”】

【Perhaps Li Ruowang really loves you.】

【But you believe it’s more about her intense desire to possess.】

【The palace feels like a giant cage, completely trapping you.】

【So, when Ye Nian turns three.】

【You propose spending some time alone with Li Ruowang.】

【This makes Li Ruowang very happy.】
