Question: What could make an emperor who has no interest in women suddenly want to fill his harem and spend every night in revelry?
Lu Xianyu: Can I say I don't know the answer?
She entered the palace because the emperor had no interest in women. But after she arrived, she first became a Zhaoyi, then got caught between the emperor, the empress dowager, and the empress, stirring up trouble among them. Later she became the emperor's favorite, and eventually his one and only...
She was so fed up. By day, all sorts of idiots in the harem accused her of seducing the emperor, and by night, she had to attend to him. What happened to the life she'd dreamed of: waking up whenever she pleased, eating simple meals, and reading storybooks now and then?
You wretched emperor, you owe me!
One day, Xianyu finally found a chance to slip away. But as soon as she left, she discovered she was pregnant...
Black-hearted, frail beauty × self-deluded emperor who seems innocent but hides a dark side
The emperor's point of view:
My delicate Lady Lu, who can't even take care of herself, is so kind and pure. If she had evil intentions, why would she have saved me in the middle of the night?
Shen Changzai: Kind? Pure? She practically turned me into a sieve.
Empress Dowager: Your Majesty, perhaps you should have the Imperial Medical Bureau check your eyes.
Emperor: Empress Dowager, my beloved consort knows medicine. I have no need for the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Not a fast-paced wish-fulfillment novel, and not a story where both leads are each other's only partners.
The female lead knows medicine and has scenes where she saves people, but she's no pushover.
(Her family runs a medical clinic. Since childhood, she has seen many people harm others for money or power, and gradually learned how cruel human nature can be.)
Before the imperial selection, she saved the current emperor. He was attracted to her beauty, but still used her to reform the harem.
The female lead has never lacked love and can have anything she wants, so she won't fall for someone who treats her like a pawn.
Includes a faked-death plotline.
Some court intrigue.
