Reborn on her wedding night, the first thing she does is grab the man who's about to sit for the length of one incense stick and leave.
"Your Majesty, don't leave tonight."
His ears turn red. "The Noble Consort is drunk."
She's not drunk.
She just died once and learned that in her previous life, this wooden emperor took a sword for her.
After that, she goes to the imperial study every day. He reads memorials, and she sits by the window with a book. He thinks she likes someone else, so she tells him every day that she likes him. He thinks he isn't good enough for her, so she corners him in the imperial study and kisses him.
The court impeaches the Noble Consort for monopolizing the emperor's affection.
He sets the memorial aside for three days, then dismisses the entire harem on the fourth.
The whole court is stunned.
Only Xie Chengqi isn't surprised.
He watches the spectacle with his wife, Lin Yuetang, and says, "Fifth Brother finally gets it. Took him long enough."
Lin Yuetang smiles and nods, then puts a piece of meat in his bowl. "You should learn from him."
Xie Chengqi immediately leans closer. "I don't need to learn. I got it ages ago."
In short, it's the story of an outspoken Noble Consort pursuing a taciturn emperor. The heroine does the pampering, and the hero does the blushing.
