Three years ago, Qi Yan would do Shen Yuening's eyebrows every day.
At first, one stroke was light and the next too heavy. He was clumsy but earnest, and would compare the shape of her brows over and over. Later, after secretly learning from some older palace woman for two days, he somehow managed to paint them like distant mountains. She gazed at herself in the mirror for a long while, then laughed and called his name. "Qi Yan, you're better at this than I am."
He said, "I'll only ever do this for you."
She believed him. She thought it was truly possible to have one devoted heart in this palace.
But later, the orchid she had cared for over three years withered.
He said, "It's only an orchid."
He didn't know that it wasn't the flower she couldn't bear to part with. It was the memory of that winter, when he came to see her carrying it, ice still clinging to his eyebrows.
On Noble Consort Jiang's birthday, someone violently shoved open the doors of Yongning Palace. Reeking of alcohol, Qi Yan asked her with bloodshot eyes, "Why did you give away the hairpin I gave you?"
Shen Yuening raised her head slightly, still holding her formal bow. Her voice was calm. "This concubine forgot."
Qi Yan didn't know what to do.
He was the emperor, the ruler of all under heaven.
He thought that if he made her suffer a little, she would lower her head and come back. But she only grew quieter and more distant, until she disappeared completely.
For years afterward, he stood on the city tower and watched.
He kept wondering whether she had looked back at him once as she left.
Probably not.
It suddenly occurred to him that she hadn't called him A Yan in a very long time.
The plot is fascinating, the logic is clear, and the characters are well-drawn. I really love the heroine's character. She is gentle and firm, kind and intelligent, but the baby is really too painful😢. The hero loves the heroine, but as an emperor, he has to weigh the pros and cons.
Bebebebe must be No one in this story is worthy of the heroine.
Big cheers for the author!
I was impressed by the writing. There are very few novels nowadays that describe the psychological activities so vividly, especially the male protagonist. Many novels now have almost zero psychological description of the male protagonist. When I read it, I felt like I was looking at a piece of wood. This author is great!
It looks good, it looks good, I love this genre, I hope the author can update it more🥰🥰🥰
Very good. Keep up the good work.
It's super nice, I hope it will be updated soon!
The author will update soon😢
It's to my liking. I like to watch this kind of sadism, but don't write too much about other people. If you write too much about the queen, it will make the queen look like the heroine. The author can write less about other people.
The author writes very well, and the sour feeling is very good. It makes me feel sad when I read it. It's very beautiful. Please add more and more🥰
