Synopsis

Shuxue was the legitimate daughter of a great general. After her family was wiped out, she was sent to the imperial palace to serve as a maid. In tears, she once begged Chancellor Pei, “Would you take me?” But he did not return her feelings, and not long afterward, Shuxue died tragically. With her dying breath, she cursed the powerful chancellor through her tears. Reborn, Shuxue discovered that whenever she cried, Chancellor Pei was overcome with pain. She temporarily settled in the chancellor's residence, punching her way through villains and kicking wicked rivals aside, yet willingly served as a pawn by marrying the puppet emperor. After returning from his western campaign, Chancellor Pei, who held power over all under Heaven, saw the emperor and empress living in harmony and said with reddened eyes, “Yangyang, I regret it.” Shuxue furrowed her brow. “Chancellor, please show some respect. I am the Empress of Daxi.” Later, Shuxue became the Empress Dowager, and the powerful chancellor willingly became her secret lover.

Any Historical Romance with a Subtle, Nuanced Love Story?

I really want to read stories where the feelings between the leads are shown in lots of little details! Nothing where they fall in love at first sight and immediately act like they've been in love for a thousand years: pure cheesiness and mindless devotion 🥹🥹🥹 Thanks for sharing!!
