On the Day He Ascended the Throne, He Made Me Empress Dowager

In the thirtieth year of Emperor Wu's reign, Xia Qingran, the most beautiful woman in the Kingdom of Leyuan, was sent into the imperial palace by her father. One midsummer day beside a lotus pond, she met the young Fourth Prince, Gu Yunshen. One glance bound them for a lifetime. But the palace walls stood tall: she was the Emperor's Consort He, while he was only a young, innocent prince. The seeds of forbidden love quietly took root in the darkness. Yet hatred and schemes swept them into a whirlpool of fate, and deadly traps drove the lovers to the brink of despair. Faced with a choice between imperial power and true love, Gu Yunshen made his final decision: he gave up the throne and fled with the woman he loved. From heaven to earth, from the world above to the underworld, he would never let her go. In this life and the next, she wanted nothing but him.
