Wait, Empress! What did you say? You're not my empress? Oh, that's all right. You can stay anyway.
A year ago, the notorious wastrel Young Prince Xie married a foreign beauty who was the top courtesan of a brothel.
On their wedding night, the courtesan lifted one corner of her veil. Her eyes shimmered like rippling water as she fell timidly into the prince's arms.
A year later, Qing Shao was struck by an arrow on the battlefield and fell from the city wall.
Xie Lingzhi stood like a proud flower blooming on a sheer cliff. Blood soaked his armor, yet he never once spared her even a glance.
After the war ended, Qin Qianzhou, ruler of the Northern Plains, arrived in the old capital, Jingcheng, with his newly wedded and beloved wife.
The emperor, seated high above on the throne, asked,
“Who are you?”
Just as she had on her wedding day, the woman gently lifted one corner of her veil.
“My name is Qin Shao. I am Qin Qianzhou's wife.”
“If you want to be empress, I'll give you the title!”
“No, thank you.” Qing Shao smiled with gentle grace as she stroked the man's crown. “Let whoever wants the throne of empress take it.”
The brooding, dissolute Young Prince Xie ✘ the clever, alluring top courtesan
There is no second male lead taking the throne! Xie Lingzhi is the male lead!! Both leads are virgins.
There are quite a few twists. The main characters are all clever, and they're scheming at every turn.
No transmigration, no System, no rebirth, no second female lead~
My writing isn't very good, but I'm working hard to tell the story I envision and bring it to life as best I can!
A somewhat open ending.
