Moonlight Through the Lattice Window

In the third month of spring, the General's residence was bustling with celebrations for the wedding of its daughter.

The third young lady and the fifth young master were a perfect match, and had been in love since childhood. They had pledged themselves to each other.

The people of the capital couldn't help but envy them, and their story became a celebrated romance.

When news of the wedding reached the Emperor, they asked him to grant the marriage, adding even more joy to the occasion.

That night, however, the General was summoned to the palace.

He knelt there through the night, unable to leave, trembling with fear as if undergoing torture.

The General was desperate, certain he was going to die.

Only at dawn the next day

Did the Emperor on the throne finally raise his icy lashes.

Do you understand now?

Your daughter. She cannot marry anyone else.

*The Emperor steals the bride and destroys a marriage, with all the melodramatic angst you could ask for.

*Coercive possession, a dangerously unhinged male lead, and a long-planned scheme.
