Deep within the imperial palace of Great Liang, no one knows that the second prince, Xiao Jiu Si, so neglected by everyone, is actually a woman who has hidden her true sex for eighteen years.
Her birth mother wanted to climb into the ranks of the nobility, so she disguised her as a prince. But no one knows that she is an illegitimate child with no blood ties to the emperor at all.
When her elder brother falls from his horse, she risks her life to save him. All she gets in return is a cold slap from Xiao Yan: "Useless thing! You nearly got the Crown Prince killed!"
That day, her heart dies. She sheds her finery and sneaks into the army. After five years of bloody battles, she transforms from a nobody into the Marquis of Zhenbei, powerful enough to command the court.
In the Hall of Golden Chimes, she points her sword at the throne and holds the Crown Prince's life hostage. "Your Majesty, it is time to abdicate."
Blood stains the imperial robes. The Crown Prince dies, and his family is buried with him. She personally topples his empire.
After ascending the throne, she remains the same cold-faced emperor, Xiao Jiu Si. No one dares to glimpse her true face.
Only the former emperor, Xiao Yan, imprisoned in the Cold Palace, knows that the traitor who overthrew him sheds her disguise every night and ensnares him in a love both burning and twisted.
"Xiao Yan," she murmurs, caressing his cheek, her voice both alluring and cold. "What you owed me back then, you will repay many times over with the rest of your life."
She wants his remorse, his love, and, above all, to make him hers, her eternal captive beloved.
Xiao Yan looks at the "son" before him, both familiar and strange. His heart churns with remorse, despair, and a powerful love between a man and a woman that he refuses to acknowledge, even to himself.
The description of the characters' emotions and storylines is definitely considered thin in Tomato. It's not directly enjoyable but it has a lot of stamina. The only drawback is that the number of words updated so far is too few [awkward laugh][awkward laugh] The character group portraits can really be regarded as the benchmark level of Guyan. The supporting characters all serve the protagonist's main plot, but they are not just tool people.
Very novel! The emotional descriptions and the love between the male and female protagonists are particularly delicate and real. The fake father and daughter are the most delicious!
I didn't like to read it at first, but I found out that the content is really good.
The author's writing style is really good, and it fills me with a sense of taboo 👍
The father-female setting is very touching 🔥 It totally hit my mark. Come on, author, keep up the good work.
Good-looking, forbidden love, both the male and female protagonists are good babies Author, what is the ending? And they are both powerful
Damn, the ending of the male and female protagonists is HE in the end, okay?
It looks good, but I have one question. The author is older. How much older is the male protagonist than the female protagonist? Come on, don't let the end be unfinished, Xiao Jiusi has thorns along the way, but there will be flowers in the end.
Looks good, a little sweeter
The genre is novel and beautiful.
