[Sweet Romance with a Touch of Angst + Mutual Firsts + Male Lead Two Years Older + Happy Ending]
[Frontier War God x Peerless Beauty of the Inner Palace | False Misunderstanding x Genuine Fall from Grace | Love at First Sight]
When rebellion broke out in Xijing, Prince Xiao Yunyan rushed thousands of miles to the capital to defend the throne. Everyone believed he had his sights set on the imperial crown.
Only his trusted confidants knew the truth: he disdained the throne and had risked his life to save one person.
This frontier prince, famed throughout the land, had harbored five years of longing and deep affection for her.
He could neither let go of nor forget that cold-hearted woman.
After the late emperor died, he ascended the throne and took command of the vast empire.
Meanwhile, she went from being the emperor's most favored consort to a retired imperial consort overnight.
The misunderstanding from five years ago and the unbridgeable gulf between their titles stood between them.
In court, he was decisive and ruthless, weighing the fate of the realm: a ruler born to reign.
In the inner palace, he deliberately drew close to her, showering her with tenderness in hopes of warming her heart.
She struggled again and again, gradually falling for him as love and hatred tangled within her.
A schemer drove a wedge between them, and she left the palace without looking back, crushing the emperor's heartfelt devotion.
Only after the truth came to light did Lin Yuan finally understand.
She had given five years of affection to the wrong person. The truth was that this cold, stern emperor was the very man she should have loved all along, ever since she was young.
He cast aside the rules of convention and offered her his empire as a betrothal gift, taking her as his empress.
After weathering countless trials, their love, five years overdue, finally found its happy ending.
Very interesting setting 😏 😏
