[Sweet and Angsty] + [Fantasy Setting] + [Palace Intrigue] + [The Emperor Pursues His Wife After Losing Her]
A volatile, arrogant emperor × a thoughtful, innocent maid
Leng Xianxian did everything she could to help the Sixth Prince ascend the throne. But once he had unified the empire, it seemed he had countless state affairs to attend to. She had lifted him to the heights of power, while willingly fading into his shadow.
She believed his evasions and avoidance were for a reason. She believed he had troubles he couldn’t speak of. She was willing to wait, as long as his love was real.
Some said that the second daughter of the Minister of War was the one most worthy of becoming empress.
Others said the maid who was always by the emperor’s side must be some kind of demon, for she had not aged in more than a decade.
Amid all the rumors, Yun Du merely sent her a phoenix hairpin: If my beloved consort wishes it, the empress’s throne can be hers at any time.
She gave birth in the Cold Palace, with no one there to congratulate her. When he finally returned from war, he only slapped her in a fury. “I was away on campaign for over a year. Whose child is the bastard you gave birth to?”
Yet Leng Xianxian could never forget that moment, years ago, when Yun Du was still the Sixth Prince and made her heart pound like a drum.
He said, “Trust me.”
