The Little Emperor in a Matriarchal World

The late emperor died young and had no daughters, so the throne passed to his son. The new emperor was still a child, and the regent, Lou Chen, held the court firmly in her grasp, doing as she pleased. Though blessed with a handsome face, she was ruthless and cold-hearted, leaving several ministers to suffer in silence. The imperial clan and the emperor's maternal relatives were even more covetous of the throne. They stirred up the young emperor, urging him to depose Lou Chen for the crime of holding the Son of Heaven hostage. That night, as the little emperor clung to Lou Chen's neck and pestered her to tell a story, he told her all about it, counting on his tiny fingers everyone who had spoken ill of her. The next day, when Lou Chen led the little emperor out with a smile playing on her lips, several people with ulterior motives couldn't help but tremble with fear. Years later, whenever Shen Nuan thought back on the past, he always began by thanking the late emperor. Thanks to her, he had been matched with a wonderful wife from the start, and could enjoy a carefree life, doing nothing but eating and sleeping. After that, he would praise himself, saying that as a child he'd won her over with his sweetness and cleverness, and that once grown, he'd bewitched her with his looks and figure. Clearly, he'd been born brilliant. Lou Chen showed no reaction on the surface, merely scoffing inwardly. He was nothing but a clingy nuisance.
