Beautiful, powerful minister shou x sinister emperor gong
"All my life, I rose smoothly through the ranks and entered the cabinet to become prime minister, all so I could be a little closer to that cold, merciless emperor."
Gu Wenyin's life was filled with twists and turns, and he stirred up one storm after another. In the end, all that remained was a thin, fragile body, yet He Xiao could never gather him into his arms.
P.S. A short story, around 10,000 words. Old-school, dark, and melodramatic. Come enjoy!
