I Became an Empress and Seduced the Ice-Cold Regent

[Two female leads: A flirtatious empress who says one thing and means another × a cool, fiercely loyal regent] Shen Qingyao had merely commented on an empress novel she’d stayed up late reading. In the book, the empress ended up as a pampered wife, abdicated in favor of the male lead, and died in misery. Furious, Shen Qingyao wrote a thousand-word scathing review, never imagining the author would curse her into transmigrating into a book as the pampered-wife empress! Never mind. Since she was here, she’d make the best of it. Shen Qingyao decided to hold firmly onto her throne, choose beauties for her harem, and lose herself in a life of pleasure! Unfortunately, Shen Qingyao is a puppet emperor with no real power, and the villains could target her at any time. To stay alive, she has no choice but to cling to the cool regent. The diligent regent, Qin Anyuan, discovers that the empress has changed a lot lately and keeps finding excuses to get close to her. Those occasional physical touches leave her wondering: has Her Majesty fallen for one of her own subjects? If the ruler orders a subject to die, the subject has no choice but to obey. If the emperor lusts after a subject’s beauty, the subject has no choice but to step up. And so the loyal regent… climbed into the imperial bed. She did it only to serve her empress, never realizing her own heart would fall, too.
