Sweet and heartbreaking romance / the emperor’s desperate pursuit of his ex / the second male lead wins her heart / dominant hero and submissive heroine / heroine has a split personality / not both virgins
He is an emperor who took her by force, using every trick at his disposal to deceive her into entering the palace;
She is a carefree young woman who ultimately has no choice but to seek benefits for the marquis’s household as a favored consort;
He is the ruler who killed her father and brothers, yet still insists on keeping her by his side;
She is the favored consort who eventually dies young, and is posthumously named empress.
The official history of Great Yan records: During the Longsheng era, Consort Jiang died at the age of eighteen and was posthumously named Empress Zhaoyuan.
As the legitimate second daughter of the Loyal and Brave Marquis’s household, Jiang Nian’er was doted on by her father and brothers from childhood. As the saying goes, “Don’t go picking up strange men by the river!” But Jiang Nian’er did exactly that!
He killed her father and brothers, took her child, and murdered the one she loved most. Yet after she died, he built a temple in her honor for people to worship at and hung portraits of her all over his imperial study.
Beauty fades in the mirror, and flowers fall from the trees. Nothing in this world can be kept forever!
In the end, Cijing was gone. That childhood name had sealed her fate: a beautiful woman doomed to die young.
