The Cousin Becomes Empress: Her Cousin Gives Her All the Emperor's Tenderness

[Devoted couple × protagonists with amnesia × transmigrated supporting characters × court intrigue × sweet romance × trope subversion] “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” On their wedding night, the new emperor leaned close to her ear and chuckled. Lu Jinshu stiffened from head to toe. Wasn’t this supposed to be a marriage of mutual indifference? The Taoist priest swept his sleeve, and her memories came flooding back: Her childhood sweetheart was now her husband. Those forgotten vows had really been made. But the Imperial Preceptor said they were living in a book, and their fates had already been decided. The villains who opposed the hero and heroine were doomed to meet a bad end. Who’d believe that? The former dynasty’s ministers form factions? Exile them. A prince of a different surname rebels? Behead him. Her former uncle wants to put someone else on the throne? Wait, something about the edict in his hands doesn’t look right. “This handwriting…” Lu Jinshu narrowed her eyes. “It doesn’t match the late emperor’s.” The Empress Dowager lay gravely ill, but still refused to give up. “The throne belongs to my son.” The Grand Princess Su Zhuang sneered. “The late emperor wasn’t even my father’s biological son!” The entire court erupted in shock. Emperor Jinghe only smiled and took her hand. “Then let’s investigate. As it happens, I’d like to see…” “Who the real villain in this book is.” What she thought was an arranged marriage was his long-planned reunion with her. The fate they were told was set in stone was a story they would rewrite together. “The Imperial Preceptor says I’m destined to live this way?” “Then let’s show him what it means to defy fate.” Are you ready to watch them rewrite the fate of an entire empire, step by step, into a love story?
