Zhaozhao

After transmigrating into a historical romance about choosing imperial consorts as a cannon-fodder character, Liao Qing completely gave up at the selection ceremony.

But the tyrant Yuwen Zhao picked him in front of everyone.

Liao Qing was distraught: This emperor has to be crazy! Palace intrigue? Having a baby? No way!

Later, a false accusation led to an edict of exile. Yuwen Zhao personally sent Liao Qing to the northern frontier, not knowing that he was already carrying the emperor’s child.

Liao Qing struggled to survive in the bitter cold, using modern knowledge to transform the region and raise his son under difficult circumstances.

Only when imperial guards respectfully came to take his son away did he learn that Yuwen Zhao, who had taken many consorts and securely held the throne, had long since exhausted himself suppressing the court to protect them both, and died alone and ill in the imperial palace.

Back in the modern world, Liao Qing buried the pain of his past deep in his heart and became a top-tier cultural relic restorer.

He shut himself off from love and spent his days among antiques. His career soared, but his heart remained trapped in the past. No matter how many people pursued him, he never fell for anyone.

Until, on an international flight, he met the handsome, gentle senior consultant from a publishing house in the seat beside him.

The man was learned and composed, able to talk at length about everything from ancient to modern times and from China to the rest of the world. The more they talked, the more they hit it off, but those eyes always left Liao Qing inexplicably dazed and with his heart racing.

By chance, Liao Qing glimpsed the man’s diary and saw that it was filled with every moment of their acquaintance across “two lifetimes.”

The handwriting was familiar, and the love in it cut to the bone.

In that instant, Liao Qing understood everything.

--So the death that parted us was the bridge you laid for me to reach a new life.
