I transmigrated into a danmei novel about forced love.
I became the fiancée of the powerful official who was the gong.
When the cold and proud emperor, the shou, became the gong’s prisoner, I stepped in front of him.
“I’m in need of a servant. My lord, please grant him to me.”
The emperor lifted his eyes, and for an instant, a flicker of emotion crossed his shattered expression.
I kept him safe, protected him, and helped him reclaim his kingdom, step by step.
At last, Gu Chengye summoned his courage and took my hand.
“Once the kingdom is restored, will you stand by my side and become the empress?”
I shook my head.
How could he know?
I protected him only because I wanted to go home.
