"So what if he's an Imperial Marshal with a glorious military record?"
"He's nothing but a dog at my feet."
In the hall of a luxurious and opulent villa, Yu Lan slowly opened her eyes from her seat on a red velvet and gold chair.
Once she saw the scene before her, she was instantly stunned.
'What's going on? Wasn't I just sleeping at home?'
'Where the hell am I now that I'm awake?'
Before her knelt a handsome, shirtless man.
Even while kneeling, the man's fierce, powerful, and sharp aura was not the least bit diminished.
Broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a well-defined set of abdominal muscles flowed in smooth lines, each ridge distinct, showcasing immense power.
At this moment, the man's pair of proud, sharp golden eyes were staring at her, filled with cold indifference and cruelty.
And her own foot was planted arrogantly on the man's beautifully shaped, full, honey-colored chest.
'It's surprisingly firm, too.'
Yu Lan lifted her foot and wiggled it, looking even more arrogant.
This immediately earned her a displeased look from the man.
Frightened, Yu Lan snatched her foot back.
'Heavens, what was I just doing?'
'My skinny arms and legs aren't even as thick as his arm.'
'He could knock me out with one punch.'
'Since when did I become so arrogant?'
Just as Yu Lan's heart was trembling with fear, the man kneeling on the floor seemed to sense her fright. He lowered his gaze, hiding those cold, merciless golden eyes that resembled those of some kind of beast.
He shuffled forward a few steps on his knees toward Yu Lan. His large, strong hand firmly grabbed her ankle and placed it back on his chest before he finally spoke:
"I should not have talked back to you, Female Master. Please, punish me."
Heavens!
Yu Lan's brain instantly short-circuited.
As memories flooded back, she finally understood what was happening.
She had transmigrated.
She had woken up and transmigrated to an interstellar world.
This was a world with many males and few females, where males were subservient and females were revered.
Males were born with chaotic spiritual power and needed to be disciplined by females.
Even if they were high-and-mighty Marshals, generals, or council presidents in the Empire…
...when they returned home, they still had to kneel respectfully before their Female Master to be whipped.
And the man before her…
…was her main husband.
The Imperial Marshal of the First Legion,
cold, ruthless, and proud—the commander of an entire army.
But just because the original owner of this body liked him, he was sent to her side to be willfully humiliated and abused.
And tonight was their wedding night.
Yu Lan: …
'On her wedding night, she made her main husband act like a dog, forcing him to kneel on the ground to be trampled on and humiliated.'
'As expected of the original owner.'
'It seems perfectly normal that those other men couldn't take it anymore and plotted to kill the original owner later on.'
Just then,
Huo Zhanting shuffled forward another step on his knees, his handsome, sharp brows furrowing slightly.
He bowed his head before Yu Lan, a look of embarrassment and shame on his face, the tips of his ears turning a little red.
"This dog was naughty."
"Please punish this dog, Female Master."
"Ahem, cough, cough, cough."
The sheer shock of it all made Yu Lan break into a dry coughing fit.
Only then did she notice she was holding a whip.
Below the man's honey-colored chest, on his well-defined abs, were several clear whip marks.
"I only hope that after the Female Master has vented her anger and is happy, you will give the soothing agent to Xingye. He did not mean to offend you."
"It won't happen again."
'Huh?'
'Another man's name just came up.'
Yu Lan's eyes widened.
Her mind raced, and she instantly remembered who this was.
It was Su Xingye, who, like Huo Zhanting, belonged to the First Legion.
He was one of her several side husbands.
Yes, in this world where females were revered and males were subservient.
It was perfectly normal for a single female to have multiple male partners.
When the original owner was five, she was caught in a Royal Family conspiracy, exiled to a Garbage Star, and raised there.
Only after reaching adulthood was she brought back, but she had lost the most fundamental ability of a female: Healing Power.
Perhaps out of guilt, the current Queen—her mother—with a wave of her hand, bestowed seven men upon her.
Seven of them, each a top-quality, handsome man.
Men who were outstanding to the extreme in every aspect.
However, men who were outstanding to the extreme were also proud to the extreme.
They could not tolerate becoming the mates of a "useless" female who had no Healing Power.
They refused to accept the Queen's arranged marriage, delaying it as much as possible.
There was no precedent in the Empire's history of a male rejecting a female. For the original owner, this was undoubtedly a blatant humiliation.
Unfortunately, this was a time of chaos for the Empire. The rebel army was causing trouble, the Federation was watching like a hungry tiger, and the Dark Planet was constantly encroaching.
The Empire's security depended on these few powerful males, so the marriage contract could only be temporarily shelved.
The original owner became a complete laughingstock.
She supposedly had seven male partners, yet not a single one of them thought her worthy.
In a fit of anger, the original owner went to the black market, bought an induction agent that could induce a male's mating heat, and secretly administered it to the "Hope of the Commoners," Su Xingye.
A male forced into a mating heat must either use a matching soothing agent to calm down or find a High-Level female to soothe him.
Otherwise, they would suffer a mental collapse and completely lose their minds, turning into a beast.
The highest-Level females in the entire Empire were the current Queen, Belina, an SS-level female,
and Louisa, who was also a Princess, an S-Class female.
And both of them, in order to force Su Xingye to bow his head to the original owner, chose to refuse him.
But unexpectedly,
Su Xingye would rather lose his sanity and become a beast than accept being with the original owner.
Huo Zhanting, who also belonged to the First Legion, couldn't bear to see Su Xingye's hard-earned journey turn to ash. This led to the scene just now.
Huo Zhanting's golden eyes stared intently at Yu Lan as he made a promise.
"As long as you are willing to give the soothing agent to Su Xingye, from now on, I will serve you as my Female Master."
Yu Lan was so embarrassed her toes curled, digging into the floor.
She quickly nodded, then shook her head.
"No, no, no, I don't need that. What I mean is, I'm sorry, I… I'll get the soothing agent for you right now."
"You don't have to sacrifice yourself."
As a transmigrator, Yu Lan couldn't wait to put some distance between herself and these men.
'Getting too close could really get me killed.'
Just as Yu Lan was about to get the soothing agent, a sharp wolf's howl suddenly pierced the silent air.
Yu Lan's whole body trembled in fright.
The next second,
the living room doors were pushed open from the outside by a frantic guard.
"This is bad, Princess, this is bad."
"Admiral Xingye's spiritual power has collapsed! He's transformed into his beast form and is going crazy!"
He was a young Junior General of the Empire, peerless in his time, with a boundless future.
He had taken step after painstaking step to rise from the slums to where he was today.
And just because he was fancied by the person before them, in a single day, he had fallen from a child of heaven to a crazed beast.
His past achievements instantly turned to ash.
The guard looked at Yu Lan with deep fear in his eyes.
The moment he heard the sharp howl, Huo Zhanting, who was still kneeling, bolted toward the backyard.
And Yu Lan, upon hearing this terrible news, couldn't help but tremble.
'This is wrong, this is all wrong. According to what the seller told the original owner when she bought the induction agent on the black market, he shouldn't have transformed this quickly!'
'If Su Xingye really turns into a beast, Huo Zhanting will probably tear me to shreds.'
'This Imperial Marshal, a man whose word is law and who rules with an iron fist, is definitely not someone easy to get along with.'
Yu Lan quickly grabbed the soothing agent she had hidden and hurried toward the backyard.
