[Two male leads + two equally powerful leads, domineering yet pure-hearted emperor as the top × a beautiful, venomous imperial advisor as the bottom, uncle-and-sister-in-law romance, forced marriage, second chances after a breakup, happy ending]
In the third year of Chongde, Emperor Xieren died, and Prince Jing, Li Yiheng, ascended the throne.
His very first imperial decree was to strip the imperial advisor, Xie Zhiwei, of his office.
Everyone knew that Emperor Ren was generous, courteous to the worthy, hardworking, and devoted to his people. But when it came to Xie Zhiwei, he indulged him without restraint, letting him live extravagantly and harm loyal officials. Resentment had long been brewing throughout the court.
“How could the new emperor keep such a traitor who brings ruin to the country?”
Everyone waited for the day Xie Zhiwei would lose his head. None of them expected that a month later, he would reappear as the emperor's personal secretary.
In the imperial study, beyond the eyes of the court officials, the emperor holds the man rumored to be a curse upon the country and pleads with him.
“If my imperial brother could have you, why can't I?”
“We met first. We fell in love first.”
“Afei, give me back the seven years we lost. Will you?”
