A cool and reserved palace maid and an emperor who is gentle on the surface but a ruthless wolf underneath
Nan Wanning was sold into the palace by her parents as a servant when she was young.
Having witnessed the palace's endless schemes, she learned one thing: keeping her head down was the only way to survive.
She took things one careful step at a time.
She had planned to stay tucked away in the Bureau of Palace Works until she could leave the palace.
Who could have imagined that a single order would transfer her to serve at the emperor's side?
She was only a maid. What right did she have to refuse?
She had heard that the emperor was gentle by nature and never took his anger out on servants.
That let Nan Wanning breathe a little easier.
But...
Can someone tell her??!!
What was that corpse being carried out of Ziming Hall???!!!
And who was that man with the cold face and a gaze as icy as a rakshasa's???
After her close friend dies horribly, she is willing to fly into the flames like a moth to avenge her. At the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, she appears in heavy makeup and performs a dance in rainbow robes and feathered garments, dazzling everyone present.
From that moment on, her image is branded deep in the emperor's heart. But only she knows the true purpose of the banquet...
Reader's notes (please do not read if you can't accept these):
1. The male lead is not a virgin; the female lead is. After he falls for her, they are one-on-one.
2. Love develops over time, and the male lead falls first.
3. There is a ten-year age gap, and the pace is slow at first.
4. This is a fictional setting, not a wish-fulfillment story. It features pregnancy and childbirth, and a groveling male lead trying to win back his wife.
5. The story is told in reverse chronology. If that bothers you, you can start reading from Chapter Four.
I really like watching the male protagonist and the female protagonist having extreme sex. The female protagonist has always been very sensible and not in love. I really like the character design of this book. The author's writing is very good. You can tell it after reading the first chapter. I silently ask if it is HE? Watching the sequel, I feel like be 😢
It's pretty good to watch, but the update speed is too slow. I don't dare to watch too much. I've forgotten the plot. I feel like there won't be more to finish by the end of the year 😂 😂 I can't find anything similar. It's so uncomfortable.
Not bad, not bad. It looks good. Don't forget to update the author 😂
It's really beautiful. I wait for the author's update every night. I'm so anxious that there's been no update for a few days. The author must stick to it. This is the only book on my bookshelf 😢 😢
Very nice, I like it very much
If you like it, please give it a five-star review first. I can write a lot more as this story develops. I'll be happy to see it updated!
It's nice to watch, except it's a serial
It's good. It's been a long time since I read such a good Gongdou novel on Tomato. Author, please come back and update it soon!!!
Yes, yes. But what should I say? I don't really want the male protagonist to get what he wants in the end. The storyline is still okay. I hope the female protagonist's sober character will not collapse. More to come~
It's very pretty, I just like this style🥰
