[Both leads are pure + devoted love + super-sweet, satisfying story + palace intrigue early on + innocent male lead + a flirtatious lotus spirit heroine]
An Lian was a lotus flower. After cultivating for a thousand years in the imperial garden, she took human form and became well versed in all the sordid affairs of the imperial harem.
After someone beat her and dispersed her magic, she set her sights on the emperor’s good fortune and coveted his body, using every trick she could to get close to him.
She never expected that with just a few little tricks, she would thrive in the harem, or that the emperor would become so infatuated with her that he gave her his heart.
An Lian was at a loss. She knew the emperor was innocent, but not this innocent. She couldn’t shake the feeling that she was taking advantage of a naive young man.
What An Lian didn’t know was that Su Zhou was aware of every little trick she pulled, but was happy to play along and indulge her.
It was all because, to him, An Lian was his salvation, his one and only.
