Pei Kunhua conquered an enemy nation in a single stroke.
Standing on the steps, she watched Sui Wei fall from the heavenly palace. The former dynasty's glory lay in ruins, and he had no choice but to remove his robes and crown and come before her.
He knelt at her feet, eyes lowered, his expression gentle. Yet every word was self-abasing as he offered himself to her bed, hoping only to cling to the faint glimmer of life that slipped through her fingers.
"I offer my frail life and humble self into your hands, my lord. I ask only for a moment of your favor."
Pei Kunhua looked down.
She saw it clearly:
This was no plea. It was the posture of someone offering himself up.
Pei Kunhua had never believed in love.
She believed only in power and control. Anyone who knelt at her feet belonged to her.
Content warnings:
1. The heroine is the chancellor who supports the nation, a founding hero with power enough to eclipse the emperor. She becomes emperor in the end and never falls from power or is reduced to a lowly state.
2. The heroine has many male and female lovers. It is not one-on-one throughout, but the ending is one-on-one. The male lead gets plenty of scenes, so he is the male lead. He is guaranteed to be pure, and every man connected to the heroine is pure in body and heart.
3. The heroine is tall and powerful in combat. The men cannot match her.
4. Coercive possession.
5. A hodgepodge of kinks, a bit of everything.
6. Focus on the heroine, with competition among men and harem intrigue.
7. A touch of ensemble storytelling, with many female characters. All the women are dominant.
Theme: Healthy love is moving, of course, but the emotions that burn amid torment and submission are not to be missed either.
