[A playful, scared-of-ghosts emperor who plays the pig to eat the tiger x a seemingly aloof, scheming, jealous regent]
Sweet romance | Satisfying power plays | DQ
Fu Zhaoheng, the “leading actor” of the Great Liang court, puts on his dragon robe, slumps on the throne, and dozes off so completely that he misses the ministers shouting themselves hoarse.
One warning glance from Pei Shuchen, and he sits bolt upright. “The Regent is right. The Regent speaks so wisely!”
The moment the court adjourns, he bolts faster than a rabbit.
The officials all sigh: His Majesty is a hopeless case.
But this “hopeless” emperor controls the most lucrative business in Great Liang, and his private fortune is thirty percent larger than the imperial treasury.
Pei Shuchen thinks he has raised himself a pretty little canary, never guessing that the bird will become the cage that traps him.
Then Fu Zhaoheng accidentally takes a “Yin-Yang Harmonizing Pill,” and Pei Shuchen pays him a secret visit through the tunnels.
Two months later, the emperor stops attending court.
“Say that again. What kind of pulse do I have?”
“Your Majesty, XM.”
Fu Zhaoheng is struck as if by lightning. Pei Shuchen is overjoyed.
Pei Shuchen: “I will never let Your Majesty down!”
Fu Zhaoheng scatters banknotes in terror. “...I’ll give you money! Just divorce me already!”
He was meant to be a puppet in the play, yet somehow everyone in the hall has fallen into his trap.
This palace intrigue can’t go on!
