Inspired by playing the game A Song of a Deep Palace, featuring the cold Emperor. This is a mostly original story and does not follow the game's setting exactly.
Rumor has it that the Emperor is peerlessly handsome, cold, and heartless. Feng Zhixia entered the palace in trepidation, expecting to earn the Emperor's disdain. To her surprise, the rumors were all lies. The Emperor wasn't cold at all! He was clearly just a tsundere!
If she had to put it another way, he wasn't cold-hearted, he just ran cold!
Theme: The elders are always talking about the will of Heaven, but Feng Zhixia doesn't believe in fate. She only trusts her own heart. The Emperor is mercurial and impossible to read, but that doesn't scare her. She can always see through him. The workings of Heaven are constant, but human affairs are complicated. In the end, it all comes down to the heart.
