[The leads are not each other's first + fictional history + not a strong heroine + his exclusive devotion comes later + the heroine is a rock]
[The palace intrigue is fairly light and mainly serves to move the central plot along, with few hidden clues. If it's not for you, just leave; there's no need to make things difficult for one another.]
She enters the palace only to serve at the empress dowager's side, unaware that from the moment she crosses the palace gates, she has already fallen into a pair of unfathomable eyes.
The empress dowager pities her youth and frailty and summons her to the palace by imperial decree. She remembers her father's teachings and proceeds with caution at every step.
He is an iron-blooded emperor who fought his way up from the battlefield, and all the court officials bow before him. She nervously greets him, scarcely daring to breathe. This imperial cousin, the Son of Heaven, is even more intimidating than her father had described.
Currents run beneath the surface of the court and the palace. The empress dowager schemes carefully to find her a good husband, while Consort Xian wants to marry her off to a useless playboy.
The emperor merely scoffs. Are they worthy of her?
She is the only warmth in his long, lonely nights, the one he longs to touch when awake and refuses to let go of in his sleep.
He carefully lays his plans and lures her into his arms. He indulges her innocence and lets her be willful, waiting only for her to give herself to him willingly.
"Yangyang," he murmurs, his low voice wrapped in scorching breath against her ear. "From the day you entered the palace, I never intended to let you leave."
In short: When a rock meets a downpour, sparks fly like a shower of fireworks.
Luo: the rock; Zhuo: the downpour.
