Emperor Yihuan

[Completed / Twin Takes the Other’s Place in Death / Female-Centered / Not No-Couple]

Ziche Shutan died.

She died in the tenth year after the Twin Ziwei Stars descended.

The people celebrated throughout the land, rejoicing at the death of this ill-fated star.

While every household reveled, someone who had been secretly clinging to life put on another person’s skin and stepped into the mire of the imperial palace.

“Dayian needs a wise and mighty emperor.” A child’s delicate hand held up a short blade, blood welling from the wound. “Elder Sister will be that emperor.”

There was no longer any Ziche Shutan in the world. The one who survived was Prince Ying, Ziche Tan.

The survivor was loyal to imperial authority, and so concealed her sharp edges, pretending to be nothing more than a frivolous dandy.

But the paths of life and death crossed in every direction, and caught up in the interests of many parties, Ziche Shutan could no longer stay out of it.

The ruler had schemes upon schemes, only to realize upon looking back that he had already fallen into a plot of raising a tiger that would turn on him.

So father and daughter became each other’s hostages, and suspicion ultimately won out over affection.

“But, Imperial Father, you said you didn’t believe in destiny.”

“Xiao Sui, you and I are destined to fight one day.”

The court was a treacherous sea of shifting clouds, as dangerous as the morning dew. The schemes and strategies of both sides had only just begun.

Years later, in the Imperial Palace of Di Ku, the sword of the Tyrant Star pointed straight at the throne.

“Imperial Father, your child has come to follow the will of Heaven.”

A few things to know before reading:

1. This story takes place in a fictional dynasty. Many of the settings are invented or amalgamated, so it is not suitable as a historical reference.

2. The story focuses on the career plot, and the romance becomes less prominent later on.

3. The protagonist is adored by everyone, and the many romance branches have complicated relationships.

4. There are slight harem elements, and the female lead has no romantic feelings at first.

5. This is a writing practice piece after a long break. Some parts may not be very well written, so I’m kneeling in advance and asking for your understanding 🤧
