A charismatic, ambitious, and passionate emperor x a perceptive, beautiful, technically minded woman who transmigrates
The year Liu Che turned thirty-five, he found a woman by the Wei River.
She looked at him as if he were an ordinary man, not an emperor.
She said she wanted to be his “friend.”
He laughed, treating it as a novel game of taming an animal. Generously, he let her stay by his side, curious to see what tricks she might play.
He gave her fine clothes and sumptuous food, but she went to the fields to teach farmers how to improve their tools.
He bestowed jewels and treasures on her, but she traded them for winter clothes for the soldiers on the frontier.
Then she stormed into the palace to plead for disaster victims, knelt before the throne, and declared each word clearly: “The people are more important than the ruler.”
The entire court was stunned. Yet there, in the great hall, he personally placed the official seal of the female historian in her hands.
Everyone said His Majesty indulged Miss Nan to an unbelievable degree.
Only he knew what he yearned for: the bowl of hot soup she brought him late at night as he reviewed memorials, and the comfort of her presence on nights filled with thunder and rain.
He thought he had the game under control, until one day she calmly told him:
“Liu Che, my time is up. I have to go home.”
At that moment, the emperor who ruled all under heaven tasted fear for the first time.
He gripped her wrist so tightly it seemed he might crush her bones, yet his voice was hoarse and low:
“Stay. Is my empire not enough to win you over?”
“Or do I have to cut out my heart before you'll even look at it?”
