[Strong-willed, suspicious, and stubborn but never affected female lead × loyal, cold-faced, fated guard male lead × both untouched × path to redemption × light mystery]
Before transmigrating, she was an empress who followed every rule to the letter. In return, she got a king's disdain, betrayal by her child, and the cold palace.
After transmigrating, she is an absurdly cruel regent with countless male consorts in her chambers.
She says, “What are you standing there for?”
He replies, “My lord, last night... I was ordered to attend your bed.”
She says, “Do it yourself. Don't keep me waiting too long.”
He takes a deep breath, fighting to still the tremor in his fingertips, and removes his top.
She asks in surprise, “I told you to apply the medicine. Why are you taking off your pants?”
His Adam's apple bobs violently. “Your Highness... you, you are still a virgin?!”
Xiao Zhi's face turns scarlet in an instant. She hadn't known either.
She says, “I want you to feel jealousy. I want you to fight for my favor as your heart desires.”
He buries his nose in the hollow of her neck, his voice trembling beyond control. “If I spend my whole life protecting you, will that be enough?”
The female lead is stubborn but never affected, ruthless but not cruel, and the male lead continually nurtures her wounded soul.
The male lead is a devoted dog from beginning to end, going from a lowly male consort to her official husband. Their story is a mutual rescue.
Sometimes love at first sight really is the work of fate across lifetimes.
