“Your Majesty, the chancellor and the general have gone drinking at a brothel.”
“Quick! Send people to shut down every brothel in the capital!”
“Your Majesty, the chancellor has arranged to admire the peach blossoms with Imperial Physician Liu, and they plan to stay outside the city overnight.”
“Quickly order people to chop down all the peach trees near the capital and replant them in the palace! Have the chancellor come admire the blossoms here!”
“Your Majesty…”
“Go on. Which minister is the chancellor strolling arm in arm with today?”
“No, Your Majesty. The chancellor is planning to get married.”
“Quick, quick, quick! Summon the Minister of Rites, the head of the Imperial Clan Court, and the Censor-in-Chief. We need to discuss the date and proceedings for making the chancellor empress. Then send someone to beg the chancellor to agree to enter the palace and become empress…”
“Your Majesty, if you ask me, you should go yourself. Get down on your knees and propose.”
The young chancellor Xie Siwei was naive and innocent, and the emperor whisked him away. Just as he thought they were in love with each other, the emperor turned around and married a prince from a neighboring kingdom.
Xie Siwei wouldn’t stand for it. He walked away too, quit his job, and went home to farm.
To his surprise, as soon as he ran, his former comrades, colleagues, old friends, mortal enemies, and even the regent all came running to confess their love. Even the scumbag emperor repented, swearing to heaven that he loved only him.
One-on-one, both pure, a coolheaded, proud, and aloof chancellor adored by everyone × a flirtatious, handsome emperor who’s a bit thickheaded.
Includes scenes where they appear to switch roles, but don’t actually.
What's the ending?
