I Doted on This Puppet Emperor

The palace is rife with undercurrents, and the court's power brokers wield overwhelming authority. Regent Pei Jinglan holds power in his hands and harbors ambitions to conquer all under heaven. He is determined to control the Great Yong realm by wielding the emperor as his figurehead. Who could have guessed that his only legitimate daughter, Pei Wanyue, would follow a kind impulse and save Xie Linyuan, the puppet emperor everyone thought they could manipulate? What began as an accidental encounter sets the wheels of fate in motion, binding them together in a lifetime of love and heartbreak. Main couple: [The cunning, scheming emperor who plays the fool × the pure-hearted, devoted-to-her-husband daughter of a war god] He lies low, bides his time, feigns weakness, plays the victim, and schemes at every turn. He is the most ruthless player in the game hidden deep within the palace. She is peerless in martial prowess, sincere and pure, and utterly devoted to protecting her husband. She is his only weakness and his only way home. From mutual suspicion and cautious probing to standing together through life and death, their love burns ever brighter amid political intrigue. Second couple: [The lovesick, scheming little fox princess × the sharp-tongued regent who pretends to be proper] One pair hides deep feelings behind layers of cunning; the other is entangled in the pursuit of power. Their love and hatred pull them back and forth in an intensely charged push and pull. A struggle for imperial power, the treacherous palace, undercurrents at court, and schemes at every turn. In the icy vortex of power lies the stickiest, sweetest mutual devotion. A battle of wits, mutual salvation, and a cast full of foxlike characters, with romance and political intrigue turned up to the max! They battle for their wits in the vortex of power, their love and hatred intertwined. Can they break free of their chains and find true love? There's more than political intrigue here: there's also a wonderfully clingy love story
