The Imperial In-Laws

The coming-of-age story of a young emperor!

Overbearing, free-spirited general seme × prickly, haughty emperor uke~ ( ´艸`)

(My new novel, No Escape, is out now. Hope you'll check it out~~)

In the autumn of the second year of Chengping, General Ao Duo launched a coup under cover of night, shocking the entire realm. Everyone thought he was simply trying to take control of Xiao Shangheng, the young emperor who had only recently ascended the throne, so he could use the emperor to command the lords. But perhaps there was more to it than that?

And how will kindhearted Xiao Shangheng choose between love and power?

"I won't hurt you."

"Go ahead and do what you need to do. If the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you."

"As long as you're here, I won't fall."

"You... are my life."

A plot by the Empress Dowager opened Xiao Shangheng's heart to Ao Duo.

A string of red beans from Ao Duo completely won Xiao Shangheng's heart.

Xiao Shangheng decided he would spend the rest of his life with Ao Duo.

But he couldn't understand why Ao Duo had to leave...

"I would give my life for you, without hesitation."

"But why are you leaving? What have I done wrong?"

"Ao Duo... do you know? If that cup of poisoned wine had come from you, I would have drunk it without a second thought. Do you understand... do you?"

This story is a real slow burn... Maybe the author is just too laid-back... Don't rush, don't rush~
