I'm a student. Thank you all for your support.
Chu Wantang, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, was once the apple of Crown Prince Xiao Yi's eye.
He taught her poetry, literature, archery, and horsemanship, and promised her, "There will only ever be you."
Everyone in the world said she was certain to become the future empress.
That is, until the prime minister's daughter came to provoke her with the rumor that she had already been chosen as the crown princess.
Everyone waited to see the noble young lady make a fool of herself, unaware that Chu Wantang was no longer the delicate beauty who could only rely on the crown prince's protection.
Once a radiant pearl obscured by dust, she was determined to make herself a piece on the board and personally turn this deadlocked game around.
From then on, she would no longer be his weakness, but his armor.
Years later, with peace reigning across the land, he ascended the throne alongside her.
The assembled crowd knelt and cried, "Long live the emperor!"
But he whispered only to her:
"Wanwan, half my empire is yours."

Duanmu Yunxi is the second daughter of the Duke of Dingguo. She is no good at poetry or literature, and only loves riding horses, drawing a bow, and working with clay.
The people of the capital think her crude and unruly, so she establishes her own kiln and gathers women with nowhere else to go. She tells them, "This place isn't just for earning a living. It's where we can build a world of our own."
A few years later, the emperor orders a selection of tribute porcelain, and famous kilns across the land compete for the honor. People always scoff that women who do business are "unfit for the home."
Yunxi tells them, "This time, we'll show the whole world that women can make wares worthy of the finest halls and send them far and wide."
Yunxi works hard at making porcelain and ultimately wins the right to produce tribute ware, silencing the malicious gossip of the past.
When she first meets Jiang Lin, he is the heir to the Duke of Jiang's household. Dressed in fine silk, he parades through the streets, riding in a sedan chair with beauties at his sides and scattering money as if it were dirt.
Yunxi frowns. "Where did this spoiled wastrel come from?"
He isn't offended. Instead, he buys a vase from her for two thousand taels of silver.
She thinks it's just an ordinary sale, never guessing that their families had already arranged a marriage for them.
Later, they investigate cases together and travel north to negotiate with the Di. He always stands silently by her side, never taking a single step back.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, fireworks bloom over the city, turning the sky as bright as day.
Beneath the dazzling lights, Jiang Lin gently takes Yunxi's hand.
He looks into her eyes, every word sincere:
"Yunxi, I don't seek fame throughout the world or a place in the history books. I only hope that for the rest of my life, I can stand beside you just as I am now."

Every time I see the emperor and empress, I feel deeply regretful and sad. Is there anything that can be done in this thread? 🤷
Can Jiang Zhu and the Queen be reconciled?
It's the first time I read the complete haircut ceremony in a novel, it's so good 🙏
Can you write a story about the rebirth of a queen, and the emperor is not good enough for her?
The last few pages overlap with the main text very much. I really want to know what the scumbag emperor is thinking in his heart.
It is one of the few endings where the male and female protagonists die. It is a perfect ending but full of regrets when you think about it carefully. I hope everyone is well in the parallel world
How much older is King Beidi than Qingyang?
"It's one of the chess pieces." "Catch a big bug for the author~
It's so miserable for him to be the male protagonist like this. His mother, sister, and grandparents are all gone.
"Wait until they are dissatisfied!" This is a big bug for the author~ Dissatisfied?
