A marriage that begins with calculation, a scam in which those who wish to take the bait fall for it. Empress Cen Yue spent thirteen years trying her best to play the role of a virtuous empress, just to secure her position as queen. She always thought that Emperor Jiang Wanzhou was an affectionate fool who was deceived by her. It wasn't until he personally revealed all the truth on the rainy night before his death - it turned out that he had long known that her "accidental encounter" in the imperial garden was intentional. He killed his brother to seize the throne, was infamous for his mother's murder, and did not hesitate to massacre the nine clans of the imperial concubine. All of his shocking atrocities were all because he wanted to protect her and pave a smooth path for her that no one could bully.
He used the most clumsy and paranoid way to silently love her all his life, placing the world's highest authority and the deepest tenderness in the palm of her hand. But it was at the moment she lost him that she understood the ultimate and silent "I do" hidden under the blood and infamy.
Purpose: This work explores the nature of love through the strong conflict between a "tyrant"'s silent and extremely affectionate sacrifice and a "queen's" utilitarian and delayed emotional awakening - the deepest love often uses silence as armor and sacrifice as language, and its full weight is only understood at the moment of loss.
