[Heartless, turtle-like emperor × sickly, aloof, dignified chancellor]
[Two male leads + broken mirror never mended + emperor grovels to win his love back + younger man + equally powerful leads + both virgins + tragic romance + melodrama]
At first, he was Xie Jingheng, a young master of the Xie family with grand plans, who placed first in the imperial examinations and entered the Hanlin Academy directly. Bright as the moon, refined as a jade tree.
That was, until he entered Qi Chengze's harem.
Later, when the Xie family was accused of treason, Qi Chengze said, “Xie Jingheng, know your place. Your career is over.”
Rumors spread through the streets, with plenty of speculation about him.
Some said, “As the descendant of a traitor, the emperor is just clipping his wings and finding new ways to humiliate him.”
Others said, “Treason is a crime punishable by exterminating nine generations. The emperor is keeping him alive only because the time hasn't yet come to execute him by lingchi.”
But later, when Xie Jingheng leapt from the city tower, they watched as the wise and mighty emperor seemed to lose his very soul.
Qi Chengze said, “I offer you my empire as a betrothal gift, and promise you a long life.”
But he would never live to see that promised long life.
It's good, but why hasn't it been updated yet? The author can't abandon this project!
This is seriously amazing!!! One of my absolute favorites, and Ah Heng is such a wonderful character. It's a little angsty though... But it's just so good! I hope the author continues to improve and writes even better books!!!
It's so good! I can't wait for the next episode. Author, please update soon! I love it! It has to be a "wife-chasing-after-the-incense" scene! Author, please update soon! I want to see more!
It's so good! A broken mirror can't be mended. @MoonstoneRouse Is this a sad ending? 😢 To be clear, I need to be mentally prepared, otherwise I might not be able to get over it for a week after watching it.
It's great! Every chapter is so juicy, and the author is gorgeous too (I'm taking a bite).
I really love this book, when will the author update it? 😢😢😢
I love the storyline so much 🥰, please, author, update more chapters! 💕
It's very well written! The writing style is excellent, and the emotional expression is very delicate. It's just a pity that it's been discontinued. Author, please come back soon!!!
This book is so good! Author, please keep going, please don't stop!!!
It's so good that I check every morning to see if there's an update. It's really amazing, it's a pity that one chapter from the author isn't enough.
