I, Jing Wang Xiao Jingyu, have redeemed the most popular number one in the capital.
Everyone thinks that I am greedy for beauty and hide my beauty in a golden house.
Only I know that what I bought is a mystery that I cannot see through.
She was surprisingly calm.
She doesn't compete for favors, doesn't flatter, and even... Doesn't look like a woman.
She treated my palace as a government office, my bedroom as a duty room, and cashed my rewards into her account.
She talks a lot about "performance", "process" and "long-term planning", and deconstructs romance into project management.
The way she looked at me was clear and focused, like a top adviser looking at her lord.
The whole capital was laughing at me, saying that I was bewitched by a brothel girl using witchcraft.
They don't understand.
When the poisonous arrows of conspiracy were shot at me, it was she who built walls for me with wisdom I had never seen before.
When the entire dynasty was plagued by long-standing malaise, it was her mind from a thousand years later that illuminated the only way to survive.
Later, in the middle of the night with only the stars and the moon as witnesses, she finally dropped all her defenses and tremblingly handed over her biggest secret:
"Your Majesty, I am not from here. My hometown is in the distant future."
I wiped away her tears, held her cold hand in my palm, and pressed it against my hot heart.
"Qingyin," I called her name, my voice full of tenderness and determination that I didn't even notice:
"No matter where you come from, you are the only one standing next to me at this moment who makes my heart break."
"You want to take over this palace, this court, and even this world——"
"I'll accompany you all the way."
