Tyrant x Virtuous Empress
On her first night in the palace, Xu Yirun encountered something strange.
The emperor staggered out of the palace, leaving the empress behind, in flagrant disregard of etiquette.
She lifted the bed curtains and stared in shock. The ruler of an entire nation was kneeling on the ground, repeatedly knocking his head against the darkness beyond the palace walls.
She was so frightened she nearly cried out, and hurriedly covered her mouth.
But he turned his head toward her, his face veiled by his loose hair. One lifeless, long-lidded eye fixed coldly on her.
"Is the empress afraid of me?"
Those were the first words he ever said to her.
"Come here."
Under the emperor's indifferent gaze, she didn't dare delay. Her fingers trembling, she let her clothes fall to the floor one by one.
"What did you do wrong?"
Xu Yirun's hands and feet went numb. Her voice wavered. "I don't know, Your Majesty..."
He said coolly, "Bend over."
Her mind was reeling. She truly couldn't understand why receiving a letter from her family had earned her such punishment.
"Did I not tell you that the women of the harem must not interfere in politics?"
She couldn't speak. Her teeth chattered, and she nearly bit her lower lip until it bled.
"I understand now..."
The day Xu Yirun received the memorial reporting her father and brothers had died in battle, she spent half the night numb with grief and the other half considering her options. At dawn the next day, she went to see the emperor, resolute.
Joining forces with him was the only viable path left to her.
The emperor stared at her, unmoved.
"What leverage do you have?"
"None at all."
The imperial power he hated most was slipping away, and she was no longer a threat to him.
"What is the best outcome if we join forces?"
"Eliminate our enemies and restore the Great Xia."
"And the worst?"
"A death without a proper grave."

Theme: Love peace
The pregnancy should be revealed this time, otherwise it will be like a mystery in the world. The belly will grow bigger at a glance, and it will be obvious at a glance. The emperor still wonders if it is not mine. Otherwise, why has it been kept secret?
It's so difficult to be the heroine, no one can tell if she's pregnant
It turns out that the emotional line of this couple is like this. It's interesting. The female protagonist takes the top position and comforts the male protagonist.
The collection has finally exceeded 200, and V-Day is just around the corner.
I accidentally saw a good article about tying the knot at three o'clock in the morning ❤️
It's too miserable. That part of the copy is really miserable.
It's beautiful, but the heroine is really walking on thin ice in the palace.
The writing is so cryptic. Did you know that?
Why can't you tell the male protagonist that you're pregnant and have to wait until the child is lost? It's an old story. It's a good story. Why don't you do it?
The continuation of the same story line "Beheading the Sick Couch" endures the burden and takes revenge. The general robs the green tea of the sick beauty. Please collect it.
