The Mischievous Empress, His Majesty’s Darling

[One-on-one romance, both leads are virgins + doted on exclusively + everyone’s favorite + playful and quirky + funny + half angst, half sweetness] “Brother Rongjin, that maid, she... she doesn’t respect me!” The mischievous Meng Ruoxi hurried over to the emperor to complain. “Oh? Is that so? She must be quite bold, then. If even my mischievous little empress can’t handle her, who else could?” Gu Rongjin said with a fond smile, ruffling Meng Ruoxi’s hair. His words carried a hint of teasing. Meng Ruoxi understood at once that the emperor was making fun of her. She stomped her foot in mock anger. “Hmph! You big meanie. Fine, don’t help me. I’m the empress, after all. I refuse to believe I can’t deal with one maid.” After Meng Ruoxi left, the eunuch by the emperor’s side asked, “Your Majesty, aren’t you indulging Her Majesty a little too much? Having only one person in the entire imperial harem is truly unprecedented.” The emperor continued reading memorials and replied, “I intend to spoil her rotten. Do you have a problem with that?” The eunuch was left speechless. Gu Rongjin, emperor of the Jing Kingdom, was diligent, devoted to his people, decisive, and handsome. Countless women dreamed of marrying him and becoming one of his consorts. But he kept no harem. There was only one woman in the entire palace, and he treasured her above all else, lavishing all his favor on her. Thus began a sweet romance in the imperial palace.
