A niche story, read with caution.
Possessive romance, pseudo mother and son
Madam Liu Zhilan of Yongding Marquis's household has been chronically ill for years, and is melancholic and prone to worry. Her husband died young, leaving her with only her biological son, Li Jiruo, to depend on. Fortunately, Li Jiruo proved himself capable, sparing her the hardships of life in the inner household.
As the eldest son of the Li family, Li Jiruo took over the clan at fourteen and became chancellor at just sixteen. From then on, he wielded immense influence and manipulated the court ministers as he pleased. He schemed to seize unimaginable power for one reason only: to give his beloved mother a place of refuge where she could live in peace beneath his protection.
Then, when Li Jiruo was eighteen, Liu Zhilan stumbled upon the secret he had kept hidden all along.
Li Jiruo lowered his eyes. His mother had always been frail, and now grief and shock had left her too weak to support her delicate frame. He reached out and held Liu Zhilan tightly against him. No matter how much he hated himself, she could only end up in his arms.
She wanted to find her biological child, so he would find one for her.
The heroine is described extensively, from head to toe, inside and out. She is a beautiful, sickly woman. Contains possessive romance and a pseudo mother-son relationship.
Outlandish setup, with no attempt at historical accuracy. The author's imagination is simple, with a single focus: forcing the heroine into a romance. The entire story exists to glorify the heroine.
The author's major work, with the main plot centering on the heroine and two fake sons. Other male characters will also interact with the heroine.
Happy ending.
A short story. All male characters are virgins, and none of the male supporting characters are related to the heroine by blood.
