After Gaining Power Over the Court, I Claimed the Cool, Reserved Illegitimate Son for Myself

Yan Li is the demoness everyone in Great Zhou curses.

She does not care. All she needs is to keep her younger brother on the throne.

At a banquet hosted by the Xie family, she glanced once more at the lonely, aloof figure beneath the corridor.

The next day, the Xie family delivered him to her: an overlooked eldest son born to a concubine, offered as a gift to win her favor.

Everyone says the Princess Royal's residence has gained another plaything.

No one knows that beneath this frail, sickly man's exterior lies a blade tempered for twenty years.

And no one knows that he has planned for everything, except for his own heart.

She, too, is far from as invulnerable as the world believes.

When she holds all power in her hands and commands the court,

all she wants is to have him to herself.
