When Shen Yuwei became a concubine in the Shangshu Mansion, she understood the first truth: if you want to live, you have to fight.
Her aunt's mother's poison and her aunt's hatred forced her into the more brutal fighting arena in the harem. She hid the sharpness of her modern soul and put on a docile skin, but she had clearly carved the rules of palace fighting in her heart - avoid the sharp edges of whoever was favored, quietly remember whoever had weaknesses, and make calculated moves in every step she took to climb up from a talented person.
She never wanted love, she just wanted to use the back position as the ultimate shield. But Emperor Xiao Che didn't follow the script.
First, he was struck by the calmness in her words and gave her the word "Jade" as a nickname. Later, when he saw her calmly resolving Liang Zhaoyi's difficulties, his appreciation turned into obsession. He began to read her cards every day and stayed in her palace at night. Even if she said a few words to the palace maid, he would frown - this sticky thing was like a piece of sugar residue that couldn't be shaken off.
Shen Yuwei's head got bigger.
She was busy wooing Concubine Shu, finding out the preferences of the princess and the prince, and finding loopholes in Liang Zhaoyi's difficulties. How could she have time to deal with this clingy emperor? But Xiao Che insisted on coming over, paving the way for her with his exclusive favor, and binding her hands and feet with his possessiveness.
"Your Majesty, if you are so clingy, I won't be able to work." She tried to push him away for the Nth time.
Xiao Che pressed her tighter into his arms, and said with a smile in his voice: "My Yuwei, how tired are you from fighting so much? Just rest in my arms, okay?"
Shen Yuwei looked at the queen who was close at hand, and then looked at the emperor in her arms who was so sticky that she couldn't move, and suddenly felt that the difficulty of this palace battle seemed to have doubled because of this "accident".
