The Emperor's Favorite, Was Forced to Love Her

Cruelly criticizing the emperor × being a cold and aloof concubine Shen Qingya, who has a lotus tattoo, was originally the illegitimate son of the former queen who was hidden among the people, but was later treated as a pawn and sent to the deep palace, becoming the forbidden concubine of Emperor Yongjing Xiao Che. The emperor's love was paranoid and cruel, giving hope and then destroying it with his own hands - burning his examination papers for the top prize, promising Jiangnan but breaking his promise, and imprisoning him with imperial power. Shen Qingya relied on her stunning beauty and agility to protect herself from the secret fights in the harem and the intrigues in the court. From a tolerant and dormant "femme fatale", she gradually fell into a desperate situation of love and hate. When Dongling invaded, Shen Qingya also invited Handong to fight against the turmoil caused by the government and the public, hoping to exchange military exploits for freedom. During the bloody frontier years, he fought side by side with General Gu Xuanye, but unexpectedly uncovered the secret of the millennium-old grudge between the two clans - the real culprit who destroyed the Lotus clan was actually the Tiger Seal holder He Lianxue, not Xiao Che, whom he hated so much. At the same time, a palace coup broke out in the capital, and the imperial concubine and Prince Duan were killed in rebellion. Shen Qingya lost his last relative and suffered a complete mental breakdown. After the master returned to the court, the crazy Shen Qingya still couldn't escape his imprisonment, but Xiao Che finally repented at the peak of his power. He gave up the throne and took Shen Qingya south to seek medical treatment and spend the rest of his life atone for his sins. The misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River washed away the blood and pain, Shen Qingya regained his sanity with the help of He Lianxue, and Xiao Che dispelled his obsession with the company of the cold winter. This sadomasochism, which began with coercion and shackles, ended in the redemption of Phoenix Nirvana, and turned into a gentle reconciliation of staying together for the rest of their lives in the Jiangnan water town.
