Who Says We Have No Clothes?

“On the verge of being exposed: cool, seemingly unflappable woman vs. devoted, calculating powerful minister from a noble house” Su Wuyi feels deeply conflicted about Qin Xie, who holds the highest position in the court. She admires him and is drawn to him, but can only keep her distance and avoid him. First, as a court official who is actually a woman, she must keep her identity secret if she wants to stay alive. Second, their families are not of equal standing. Well, if she’s honest, she’s a little afraid of him... The sky darkens as springtime splendor fills the room behind the tightly shut door. “Su Wuyi, when you left without a word, did you forget what you promised me?” The man lowered his eyelids slightly, his restraint concealing a domineering streak. “Qin Xie, you come from a powerful family, and our stations are worlds apart. We’re not suited to each other.” Su Ze trembled with fear, pointing at his purple robe as she tried to hold her ground. “Besides, we’re both court officials. We both have things we must do, don’t we?” “Mm... With you, I have something I must do.” He leisurely took off his official robe and looked at her, cornered and blushing. “What did you just call me?” “Qin... Zixing.” Qin Xie shook his head. “Sixth Brother?” “Think again.” “...Husband...” At that one word, Qin Xie felt his heart and mind tremble, and his defenses crumble. “Who says we have no clothes? I’ll share mine with you. We’ll mend our armor and march together.” He pressed his lips to the hollow of her shoulder, his voice trembling as he whispered, “Our names are both written in the Book of Songs. We’ll be buried together, until the end of time. Be good, all right?” 【Reader’s Guide】 1. Both leads are sexually inexperienced, happy ending, devoted to one another. 2. A high-and-mighty beauty, a powerful figure who lowers their head, emotional push and pull. 3. There is a brazen, shameless second male lead. ************ Upcoming story divider ************ Next up, The Story of Lu Hanzhang: “Hidden dragon in the abyss: scheming, unhinged emperor vs. restrained, cool-headed Grand Secretary who helped secure the throne” After the late emperor was laid to rest, a vassal prince ascended the throne. The Grand Secretary is my right hand, the pillar who helped establish my rule. Still, the vermilion python robe she wears doesn’t sit right with me. In my dreams, I see her in the bright yellow robes of an empress. Alas, the woman I long for with all my heart... does not want me. -- -- -- Amid the chaos of a troubled age and endless factional strife, the corrupt minister in power is impossible to root out, and Grand Secretaries rise and fall as quickly as melons are sliced. Lu Hanzhang is brilliantly talented, but her future is perilous, so she has no choice but to return to her hometown on sick leave. Who knew that, instead of successfully cultivating a “fallen into the mire” persona, she would unexpectedly become Prince Yu Zhao Zhen’s tutor? From there, she rises rapidly, but danger lurks at every turn. She knows she is in the emperor’s favor, and perhaps she’ll be allowed to rest beside him in the Imperial Ancestral Temple after death. But she never imagined that the emperor who once stood shoulder to shoulder with her through layer upon layer of deadly plots harbored such a dark, burning obsession, one that disregarded the boundaries between ruler and subject. “Grand Secretary, I need a legitimate heir.” “Your Majesty, the eldest daughter of Left Censor-in-Chief Ge Li is virtuous and gentle...” “I have no interest in girls in their teens.” “Governor-General Wang Chong of Xuanda has a younger sister of a suitable age. Xuanda faces the Tatar peace negotiations directly, so its strategic position...” “Hanzhang, is it really so hard for you to love me a little?” (Hanzhang can be steadfast; whether she serves the king or not, she will see things through to the end.) Theme: Love the country and its people, and never forget your original ideals.
