[A Love-Hate Romance | The Demoness Who Wants to Be Empress Dowager ✖️ The Devoted and Tolerant Wise Emperor]
“If hate is love taken to the extreme, then I admit it: I hate you.”
The new emperor, Xuanyuan Sheng, had always treasured a woman in his heart: Feng Luan, the second daughter of the Feng family. A small act of kindness from her had helped him climb, step by step, to the throne. Because of the law that an emperor’s mother must die if her son becomes emperor, the Empress Dowager demanded that Xuanyuan Sheng have a son before he could marry Feng Luan.
A year later, Xuanyuan Sheng finally saw Feng Luan enter the palace with her younger sister. At first, the two of them were inseparable, but their happiness did not last. Feng Luan fell ill and left the palace to recuperate for three years.
When she recovered, Xuanyuan Sheng went to fetch her in person, only to unexpectedly find her laughing freely with another man in a private room. He forced down his displeasure, telling himself that the man was nothing but a stray cat or dog, and that she would never take him seriously.
After Feng Luan returned to the palace, Xuanyuan Sheng learned that she had played a part in having the crown prince deposed. She whispered in his ear, urging him to depose her younger sister, the empress. He did so, replacing the empress with Feng Luan and making her adopted son the crown prince.
To fulfill his ambition of uniting the north and south, Xuanyuan Sheng spent years campaigning abroad, and their feelings gradually cooled. Then a concubine in the harem, pregnant with his child, provoked Feng Luan by claiming that the emperor had promised to replace the crown prince.
How could she let someone else sleep beside her? Feng Luan realized that she could only control her own fate by seizing real power, rather than meeting the same end as her sister, who had been deposed as empress.
Only if Xuanyuan Sheng died could she take power legitimately.
Unfortunately, he actually came back alive...
Just one word, delicious😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
