[Exclusive devotion] [Redemption] [Both leads are pure]
The day after she comes of age, Sheng Jiangying, an illegitimate daughter of a minister, receives an imperial edict naming her empress.
With no love between them and no way to refuse the decree, she decides they should support each other through thick and thin and treat each other with respect, while she simply does her duty as a good empress.
The Empress Dowager says, “She’s only an illegitimate daughter from a minister’s household. How can she take the throne as empress and be the mother of all under Heaven?”
On their wedding day, a procession of bridal finery stretches twenty li behind her. It is all his betrothal gifts, because she is the woman he has loved all along.
The imperial consorts wonder, “What sort of fine things could a mere illegitimate daughter possibly bring out?”
They are soon put in their place: pieces of this quality are priceless and impossible to find.
The emperor says, “My woman can do almost anything. The only thing she doesn’t know is how to love. That’s all right. I do. I’ll teach her, little by little.”
The young prince says, “Father is biased. He only likes Mother.”
“Your mother is someone I cradle in my hands, afraid she’ll fall, and cherish in my mouth, afraid she’ll melt. Can you compare?”
Sheng Jiangying: “Perhaps I fell in love with you on our wedding night. I just didn’t dare admit it.”
It's quite good to watch. I hope the male protagonist has the power and doesn't have to be controlled by others. He can be domineering and pamper the female protagonist, sweet and sweet, and don't abuse her, so that the female protagonist can live an unscrupulous life.
This book is really to my taste. Every plot is well presented, and the male protagonist also likes the female protagonist very much, and there are no misunderstandings or anything like that.
