    [Domestic Intrigue + Palace Intrigue] Not a 11-story novel. The male lead has wives and concubines in the early stages, but later he dotes on her exclusively. There is no suspicion or misunderstanding, just a little angst and a lot of sweetness. The female lead falls in love first, but she's not exactly love-struck; her experiences have made her mostly rational. (Perhaps there's also a bit of lust at first sight.) The male lead is unaware of his feelings, but he's been very good to the female lead from the beginning, always protecting her and her family. (When you reach the end of the road, sit and watch the clouds rise.) In the twelfth year of Jinwen, the fourth emperor of the Da'an Dynasty, Emperor Jinwen, Yunqi, and Empress Xie Shi ascended the Ming'an city tower. A cool breeze, still carrying the chill of early summer, lingered over the bustling streets of Ming'an. Xie Shi held Yunqi's hand tightly, "Wen Yan, thank you for protecting me all the way. In this life, I'm so glad it's you." As soon as she finished speaking, Yunqi turned to look at the beauty beside him, his seemingly cold eyes filled with tenderness. His thin lips parted slightly, and he replied softly, "It's my honor."
