The Empress Is Equally Charming When Angry or Delighted

On the eighth day of the ninth month in the third year of Yuanzhao, the entire nation holds a selection to recruit women of marriageable age to fill the imperial harem.

Yet at this very moment, an imperial decree is delivered to the Duke of Rong's residence, specifically summoning the duke's legitimate eldest daughter, Song Mingyi, to the palace.

But everyone knows she has just returned to the capital after divorcing her husband.

The Duke of Rong's household is an illustrious clan with generations of officials and great power, having amassed enough merit to overshadow the throne.

Everyone assumes the new emperor means to intimidate and rein in the Song family.

But no one knows that Song Mingyi once had a romance with the current emperor, Lu Yancheng.

Later, she abandoned him.

Lu Yancheng truly loved Song Mingyi once. Later, he truly resented and hated her.

For the years after they parted, he deliberately avoided seeking out any news about her.

He thought time would make him forget everything, including her.

Then he heard again that she had divorced and returned to the capital.

Only then did Lu Yancheng realize he had been deceiving himself all along.

So Song Mingyi should return to his side and properly atone for the wrong she had done back then.
