[Palace intrigue + flirtation + a touch of replacement romance + the emperor chases his wife]
A heroine who seems like a sweet little rabbit but is really a cunning wolf VS a suspicious, ruthless, drama-loving emperor
The heroine isn’t the sole favorite at first. The male lead gradually falls for her, and in the end, she becomes the love of his life.
Cheng Jiayu’s parents both die, leaving her to live with her uncle’s family. Her aunt wants to sell her, but luckily, the young man next door buys her, and the two agree to live together as husband and wife.
The day before he passes the imperial examinations and is due to return home for her, he gets drunk, falls from a brothel, and dies.
Cheng Jiayu knows it was a plot. To avenge her dead husband, she enters the palace as a pawn and carefully schemes against the emperor, high above her. Only by winning his genuine affection can she make her enemies pay.
She deceives everyone, even herself, and at last makes the emperor fall for her.
When she finally kills her enemy with her own hands, she has no intention of keeping up the act.
Chu Shen has never cared for love. His heart holds only a vast empire, until he meets Cheng Jiayu, who truly loves him.
The young woman is so devoted that she would even die for him.
He falls for her and decides to give her the greatest honor and favor in the world, only to discover that everything she showed him was an act, and now she no longer wishes to pretend.
Holding Cheng Jiayu, who has lost her senses, Chu Shen says, “As long as you don’t leave me, I can give you anything.”
Cheng Jiayu smiles sweetly. “Brother Liu, I’ll never leave you.”
When Chu Shen cast Cheng Jiayu aside, he never imagined that one day he would willingly become a shadow, just to make her stay.
The emperor who rules the four seas dons a scholar’s robe and builds a little courtyard within the ninefold palace, taking on another man’s identity in the hope that the love he has stolen might love him back, even if only in an illusion.
So far, it's been great!!! The characters are wonderful!!! The plot moves quickly and doesn't drag, and the female lead is determined and not easily swayed by others. It's currently being serialized, so I hope there will be more updates every day! 💕💕 It's amazing!!! At first, I thought it would be cliché, and I felt like I could guess the plot.
It's so incredibly beautiful! ∩_∩ʘᴗʘ
