The Empress and Her Beloved Husband

A sunshine boy who's a little slow on the uptake but a master of reading people x an empress who acts dismissive but secretly dotes on him

The greatest thing Yun Zhuowu ever did was get the most powerful people in the world to spoil him wholeheartedly.

The emperor was his father, the empress was his mother, the crown prince taught him to read, and the princess made him candied fruit. Even the aloof second prince secretly brought him little trinkets from outside the palace.

He was poisoned at the age of three, leaving his mind a little slower than everyone else's.

But that was all right. His smile was sweeter than anyone else's.

Years later, his older sister became empress. Before the decree to choose a husband had even been issued, he was already in tears.

"You said you'd marry me!"

"When did I say that?"

"When I was three!"

"...That doesn't count."

"You're a liar! You never keep your word! You even kissed me when I was little!"

The empress rubbed her temples.

Everyone in the empire thought she was hesitating over whether to marry him.

Only she knew she was trying to figure out how to stop the fool from grinning at the flowers in the garden all day. He was about to talk them all to death.
