[Palace intrigue + political scheming + face-slapping + punishing scoundrels + Prince Regent + forbidden couple]
On the night the late emperor died, a man stormed into the bedchamber with the emperor's sword in hand. He gripped her by the throat and sneered viciously, “Does the Empress Dowager regret betraying me back then?”
Qiao Lengyin went pale. He… really did hate her!
And why wouldn't he? In Shen Junze's eyes, she was a fickle, greedy woman who had learned he was presumed dead in battle and immediately broken off their engagement to become his imperial brother's woman.
Now that he held all the power, why would he spare his former fiancée, who had betrayed him, or the young emperor who stood in his way?
But Che'er was still so young…
No, she couldn't die yet. She had to live!
Shen Junze suddenly smiled, his long fingers wandering over her neck. “Want to live? Then I suppose it depends on how sincere Your Majesty the Empress Dowager is.”
In the eyes of the court, she was a ruthless Empress Dowager who usurped power, while he was a benevolent Prince Regent who held the reins of state and supported the young emperor.
Everyone thought they were well-matched ruler and minister who respected each other. They had no idea that, behind closed doors, the man slipped into her chambers night after night and entwined himself with her until they were both spent.
Rebels rise up? She wipes out their entire clan! A wicked woman plots against the imperial heir? She has her eyes torn out and her heart cut out as a warning to the rest!
At last, all was settled and the young emperor had come of age. She wanted to leave and make a life elsewhere, but the Prince Regent held her in his arms, eyes red, and pleaded softly:
“Yin'er, I'm sorry. Please give me one more chance.”
Really, in the end, I didn't want the heroine to be with the regent, so I had to let him chase his wife in the crematorium and make him die in pain. I almost cried to death watching it.
Is that little emperor the male protagonist's child?
It's okay, but I've been writing a plot until now and I still haven't gotten to the point I want to watch...
I thought it was a sweet article, but I didn't expect it to be so cruel. The male and female protagonists love each other but don't let each other know their feelings, which is crazy and cruel 🥺🥺
The story is old-fashioned, but the writing is delicate and you can watch it
