The not-so-serious blurb: Other emperors' daily routine: eat, sleep, and review memorials. Our emperor's daily routine: eat, sleep, and flirt with the prime minister. The prime minister thinks something about this is not quite right... At court the next day, the prime minister advises, "Your Majesty, a ruler should cultivate the proper way to govern officials, not indulge in private affairs." The emperor thinks the prime minister makes a good point. And so the emperor's daily routine becomes: torment the officials at court, bully the young ladies in the harem, and work hard to get the prime minister onto his dragon bed as soon as possible... Prime Minister: ... The serious blurb: A dream of ruler and minister, an empty name through the ages. Only the distant mountains stretch on; the clouds and mountains are in disarray; the dawn mountains are green. I do not wish for you to toil for me until your dying day. I only wish to hold your hand and grow old with you in this life. P.S. This is a beautiful love story about two people who do not want to speak their feelings aloud, who love each other but (for now) do not rub their happiness in anyone's face. It's neither angsty nor sweet. I can't bear to make it angsty, and sweetness makes me uncomfortable. I'm truly a benevolent ruler... This is an alternate history. The era, historical background, and character models are all fictional. Historical accuracy enthusiasts, you will lose your baby forever! (That is, me, the author! Though it seems nobody particularly wants me...) A domineering, dazzling, cool emperor, two-faced, a little lamb in public and a big bad wolf in private VS A graceful, brilliant, upright and restrained prime minister, a statesman who worries for his country and its people I dedicate this story to lovers everywhere. The most beautiful thing in the world is when the person you love happens to love you too. No reposting in any form!
