[Cool, Amnesiac Cousin vs. Gentle-on-the-Surface, Black-Hearted, Obsessive Cousin]

Seven years ago, I was gravely injured and lost my memory. All I could remember was that I needed to make an elixir of immortality to save my life, and its key ingredient was in the imperial palace.

Seven years later, an imperial edict summoning me back to be chosen as empress brought me face-to-face with the bewitchingly beautiful, nation-toppling face on the throne.

My imperial cousin, Emperor Yan Wuci, smiled with gentle compassion. “Cousin, it’s been a long time.”

But his gaze always felt like chains, as though he wanted to keep me bound to his side.

I respectfully called him Your Majesty, and his brows furrowed.

I politely called him Cousin, and his expression turned cold.

He tested me relentlessly; I shot back with a frosty glare.

He showered me with declarations of love; I knocked him flat.

Until, on our wedding night, I accidentally stumbled into a secret chamber

and found it filled with countless images of myself.

He said that anyone who learned the emperor’s secrets had to repay him with a lifetime of service.

Beneath the warm red wedding curtains, he pressed a fingertip to my lips, his voice bewitching as a demon’s: “A-Nu, call me ‘A-Ci’…”

I trembled from head to toe. Who could possibly resist a face like his?

I only regretted not holding back on our wedding night.

The mad emperor had gotten a taste for it.

By day, he was a refined gentleman;

at night, his advances were relentless.

I couldn’t take it anymore.

I reached for the specially made whistle-arrow hidden against my chest. “Your Majesty, if you try that beauty trap again, I really will call for help.”

He chuckled softly. “All under Heaven is the king’s land. Your affairs… are my responsibility.”
