The Female Emperor's Sinner, Her Beloved White Moonlight

[A bittersweet romance · A powerful empress who dotes on her beloved · Court intrigue · A beautiful general · Two formidable women joining forces · A profound redemption · Happy ending]

The thorn in the heart of the iron-fisted Empress Chu Mingzhao is her most trusted minister, Shen Zhiwei. Then the political winds shift, and Minister Shen is publicly branded a traitor, with “irrefutable evidence” piled high. In tears, the empress has her thrown into the imperial prison. On one side are the unyielding laws of the realm and ministers pressing her to act; on the other is the one person in her heart beyond all doubt. The mighty empress casts off her imperial robes and risks the wrath of the world, racing through the night to save the condemned woman she loves. False accusations, schemes, and assassinations follow one after another. Caught in a maelstrom of suspicion, the two draw close only to push each other away, their hearts torn to pieces. When the crushing burden brings her to her knees, she willingly clears her beloved's name, then casts aside the throne and rides thousands of miles to protect her! In the prison's execution yard, she takes the punishment in her place; on the northern campaign, they face life and death side by side. In the Golden Hall, the empress tears up the decree to depose her, takes Shen's hand, and declares proudly, “My realm, my general, and the one my heart yearns for are all hers alone!” Together, they defeat their enemies and share in a golden age.
