CP: A beautiful, strong, tragic, sickly, universally adored young emperor × a cold, aloof, scheming, taciturn Imperial Preceptor who stands above the rest
To avenge the destruction of her sect, the young woman Li Ge sets a trap in a remote town, assumes another identity, and impersonates the emperor Li Fujin as she returns to Chang’an.
The current emperor, Li Fujin, is a notorious good-for-nothing puppet ruler. Worse still, her family and the family of the current Imperial Preceptor are bound by a feud involving the destruction of their clans.
Li Ge has also heard that the Imperial Preceptor is a master of the Dao, able to summon thunder with a single finger and defeat all manner of demons and spirits. She is the most gifted Imperial Preceptor in history.
If Li Ge wants to stay alive, she must keep her distance from the Imperial Preceptor.
On her first day back at the palace, the chief of the eunuch faction grows suspicious of her identity and assigns her to live in Jibei Palace, the Imperial Preceptor’s residence. Under the old rules, the new ruler must receive a blessing from the Imperial Preceptor.
Li Ge thinks, Oh no. This is bad.
That very night, while carrying the identity of the Imperial Preceptor’s clan’s sworn enemy, Li Ge strikes the blind, mobility-impaired Imperial Preceptor and shatters her heart meridian with one blow. Before she can fulfill her ambitions, she nearly dies on the spot.
The grudge is sealed. From then on, Li Ge finds everything about the blind Imperial Preceptor irritating.
But palace rules dictate that the newly enthroned “young emperor” must stay in Jibei Palace for three months.
With a sword hanging over her neck every day, Li Ge is hardly one to behave. Since she can’t beat the Imperial Preceptor, she tries every way she can to annoy her.
The palace eunuchs urge the emperor to choose consorts and produce an heir. Li Ge thinks, I’m a woman. How exactly am I supposed to have a child with a consort?
She brazenly holds a selection of consorts in Jibei Palace, disturbing the Imperial Preceptor’s quiet cultivation. Then she has the nerve to toss the golden magnolia used in the selection right into the Imperial Preceptor’s arms.
From then on, strange signs appear in the heavens: phoenixes arrive from the east, and a red thread binds the two of them together.
A heavenly oracle declares that she and the Imperial Preceptor are destined for an intimate cultivation relationship that they cannot escape.
Li Ge thinks, What kind of ghost story is this in broad daylight?
The Imperial Preceptor would have to be out of her mind to practice dual cultivation with the “enemy’s child.” If that day really came, killing Li Ge would be more merciful.
Afraid that the Imperial Preceptor might try to forcibly break the prophecy and strike her dead again, Li Ge keeps as far away from her as possible, determined to avoid any unnecessary entanglements.
Because Li Ge has taken secret medicine since childhood, her first period comes later than most women’s. When it finally arrives, her cold poison is flaring up. Alone in the hall, she endures the agony, drifting in and out of consciousness. A warm presence draws near and takes her to soak in a spiritual hot spring. Afraid of water, Li Ge clings to the warmth, rubbing against the person as if she were a floating log. Through her hazy consciousness, she hears a woman’s cool voice above her: “You’ve gotten me all dirty.”
Li Ge has no idea what happened that night, but afterward she feels the Imperial Preceptor has started acting strangely.
Before, whenever Li Ge entered her palace, the Imperial Preceptor would strike her as if she wanted to snuff out her life, insisting that no emperor of the Li clan should exist in this world and that the dynasty was in danger of collapse.
So why is she sneaking into Li Ge’s palace to steal her cat, sleeping in her bed, and putting up with all kinds of outrageous behavior without getting angry or trying to kill her? Why is she even giving her a breast wrap?
A few months later, the palace physician examines the Imperial Preceptor’s pulse and offers congratulations to the fake emperor: “I respectfully congratulate Your Majesty. The Imperial Preceptor is carrying the royal heir.”
The young emperor spits out her tea.
What in the world?
Where did she get a royal heir?
Does this make any sense?
How could she have no idea she could do that?
No, wait, this is all wrong. Even if two women really could conceive, why would it be the Imperial Preceptor?
Her legs are still cramping!
(P.S. The young emperor is a tsundere bottom; the Imperial Preceptor is an older, taciturn top. There will be a role reversal later. This is not a setting where same-sex marriage is legal, nor is there a same-sex pregnancy premise. The Imperial Preceptor uses magic to tease the young emperor. At the start, the Imperial Preceptor is badly injured and disabled, blind and unable to walk, and has to use a wheelchair. She recovers midway through. This is a long novel with an ensemble cast and a plot-driven story. It was originally projected to be a million words, but with the outline expanding, it may reach 1.5 million. Both female leads have only been with each other. Some supporting couples will have unhappy endings. The young emperor is universally adored, with plenty of mindless fans, career fans, and die-hard antis. The main plot combines court intrigue with episodic stories in which the emperor and Imperial Preceptor team up to catch demons and solve strange cases around Chang’an. I hope you enjoy reading.)
Theme: Standing at the beginning of a story and watching its predetermined ending.
Ling Zixu's hand, which was typing in front of the computer, was gently held by someone. His soft body was pressed against her from behind, and the fragrance lingering in his nose was alluring.
The woman's gentle voice sounded in her ears. The two of them were very close to each other even though they were separated by chairs. Some of their long, slightly curly hair fell on Ling Zixu's shoulders, causing a slight itch.
"Xu Bao, I'm so tired of coding. Can my sister help you relax?"
Ling Zixu was going crazy over the 6,000-word update in the future, and he elbowed Nian's dark-bellied, gentle and intellectual sister [dog head]
The boss is so awesome [poor], he can actually do it for six days... Ahem, no, what level is this author, can't he do it for ten thousand days? I can write articles at this speed [angry]
Oh, is this implying that Meng already knew about the emperor's change?
Yeah, it's connected. [Bad laugh] The whole thing was indeed a deliberate arrangement, and I thought it was a coincidence at the time. I originally thought that it would take a lot of time to find the banshee, but it turned out to be a chain of calculations. [Laughing and crying] The kitten is very keen. When Song Xuanji died, how many years before the kitten pretended to be Li Fujin, how come all these people now know their true identity [dog head] It's such an obvious loophole, the kitten's mind has turned around several times [bad laugh] But now Xuan Xizhao and Qin Chuanshi's fates are really incompatible, but Qin Chuanshi must not be killed, right, and Xuan Xizhao certainly can't die like this, right [bad laugh] But Qin Chuanshi has great merits that can suppress the banshee disaster, and you see that Xuan Zongzong is also a single dog, I have a plan [glasses] [glasses] [glasses]
[Orange candy] I got it [Purple sugar] kswl [Orange candy] I got it [Purple sugar] kswl
You said it's not good for you to mess with someone. You messed with the kitten's wife, and she made our kitten angry, right? [Bad laugh] Kitten, do you know that the way you protect the food is going to be so beautiful for the National Master? [Dog head] The National Master is happy [Bad laugh]
Xiao Zhui Chui and the Queen Mother, this confrontational couple is so funny [bad laugh] Queen Mother, why are you so interested in someone else's legs? You are so excited [bad laugh] [bad laugh] [bad laugh]
(Silently dropping a pair of kucha seeds) [Yellow Pants]
Can you not be interested in your own daughter, the National Master? She said something like "It's a pity to only sing to Gu Feng Shan Yue". How did she know that Guo Shi always sung alone [bad laugh] Could it be that the kitten was sneaking next to Guo Shi when she was a child [laughing and crying] or "an encounter by a person in the mountains [bad laugh]".
So that's it. No wonder there is such a big reaction to eating fish. It's really a huge psychological shadow. I feel sorry for the kitten [burst crying] [burst crying] [burst crying] The national master is also heartbroken. Is our national master going to start a kitten protection plan?
