After My Royal Brother Forced Me to Become His Empress

1.

Wanyu was raised by the Empress Dowager herself.

Everyone said she was lucky: raised by the most exalted woman in the empire, and promised in marriage to a prince.

Even Wanyu thought so.

Just when she thought the Empress Dowager would grant her to the prince as his princess consort on her eighteenth birthday,

she was brought into the palace as empress by the man who was her brother in name only, the current emperor, Lu Chongjin.

2.

Wanyu didn't know her brother very well. All she knew was that he was a decisive, ruthless tyrant, callously cruel in the eyes of the people.

She was a little afraid on their wedding night.

Afraid that if her husband was displeased, he would chop her to pieces and feed her to the mastiffs.

She trembled and shook as she consummated their marriage.

Then she served as empress in constant fear,

afraid she'd offend the emperor one day and lose her head in an instant.

But the scenes she'd imagined never came to pass. Instead, the supposedly brutal emperor went out of his way every day to please her and make her happy.

Wanyu was baffled.

3.

Lu Chongjin had noticed a palace maid for a long time.

They said she'd been an abandoned baby his mother had picked up somewhere.

His mother had raised her herself, believing she could ward off evil and bad luck.

Lu Chongjin scoffed at the idea.

How could a mere palace maid ward off evil spirits and ill fortune?

He thought nothing of her.

Until the day Lu Chongjin saw her for the first time.

When he learned his mother planned to promise her to a prince,

the emperor could no longer sit still.

4.

Wanyu had been feeling a little tired lately.

The Empress Dowager anxiously asked if she was ill.

Wanyu blushed.

She couldn't tell her mother that Lu Chongjin kept her up in bed every night.

No matter how much she scolded him, the man only came at her more fiercely.

So she stammered that the emperor had been on the throne for some time and it was time to arrange a selection of consorts for him.

Before the Empress Dowager could say a word, the emperor walked in and fixed Wanyu with a dark gaze.

That night, Wanyu's sobs came in fits and starts.

She said she would never dare do it again.

Lu Chongjin had his fill.

He was perfectly satisfied.

Wanyu later became the first empress to share the exact name of the emperor's reign era, and was known to the world as Empress Jinyu.
