Tyrannical young woman emperor and junior sister | Cool-headed, upright senior brother | A saint's selfish desire | From hating her to offering himself to her bed~ Final pairing: 1v1, both each other's only one
Along the way: 1v3, cool-headed senior brother | Fake-brother, brooding and twisted imperial younger brother | Gentle adviser
Jing Luoyuan was raised as the crown prince, which was how she got the chance to cultivate at Cangwu Mountain.
Cangwu Mountain was blessed with beautiful scenery and lovely people, especially her cool-headed, upright senior brother, Zi Jieyi.
Unfortunately, she got drunk and made a mess of things. While presenting as a man, she spent the whole night making lewd remarks to her senior brother.
The next day, her senior brother, who never usually got involved in the mountain's affairs, wore a stony expression and personally sent her flying off the mountain with one clean move.
No matter. She was the heir to the Great Jing, destined to unite the world!
But she never expected that when the empress died, all three of her final edicts would be instructions to support the new emperor.
Meanwhile, the secret letter left for her sickly, spineless younger brother contained eight words that could cost her life:
"If she is a woman, you may take her place."
She sneered and used a few subtle tricks to make people rush to imprison her younger brother in the palace.
Who would have thought her younger brother had been hiding his true nature, raising demons and using ancient texts in an attempt to recreate the art of turning people into evil spirits?
Jing Luoyuan spared his life for the sake of family, but punished him day after day.
Instead, she earned herself the title of "tyrant."
The people condemned her, so she burned books to "silence" them. She even had talented young men abducted and brought into her harem.
When a senior minister died by smashing his head against a pillar in protest, she had the pillar gilded, declaring, "Gold and red go best together."
When the immortal sects and martial world sent people to negotiate, she took up her sword, cut off several heads, and tossed them before the leading immortal. Then she lifted his chin with her bloodstained sword hilt.
"Senior Brother, these men looked shifty and plainly weren't good people. I've rid the world of a great menace. How will you repay me?"

Zi Jieyi was certain that he liked women... No, the path he cultivated was the Path of the Heartless!
But in the past several centuries, practitioners of the Path of the Heartless had been few and far between, and the immortals who had ascended by following it were rarer still.
Zi Jieyi hated Jing Luoyuan, who was always smiling and making jokes.
He hated that she had unsettled his heart when he was young, and that she had left him restless and burning day and night.
After years of cultivation crumbled in a single day, his master sent him to the mortal realm to fulfill a prayer made by countless people, so that he could reclaim his chance to cultivate:
Save the tyrant of Great Jing.
If he failed, he couldn't return to Cangwu Mountain or cultivate the Path of the Heartless again. But no one told him that accomplishing the task would mean taking off his clothes!
The moment Zi Jieyi entered Zichen Hall and heard the young emperor's first laughing sigh, he knew: he was doomed again...
He reaffirmed that he was absolutely not gay.
But why was the imprisoned prince kneeling at the tyrant's feet, begging like a dog?
And why was Great Jing's foremost scholar so practiced at offering to warm the tyrant's bed?
And why, among the three thousand beauties in the harem, were all three thousand of them handsome men and beauties!?
"Immortal, you're number three thousand now~ At this rate, His Majesty probably won't summon you until ten years from now~"

He is her pawn, and also her "wife."
