Synopsis

Yuan Cixian dreamed that years later, the old emperor would have her executed and turn her into a bridge stone. When she woke, she remembered the terror of being under his thumb and resolved to find a powerful protector. Following a strategist’s advice to “give him what he likes,” Yuan Cixian picked up her brush and wrote a love poem to the future emperor’s tutor, Lu Shiqing, hoping to win his favor. Lu Shiqing read the poem and nearly coughed up three pints of blood before storming into Yuan’s bedchamber. He’d told her to give him what he liked, and she’d thought he liked poetry? What he liked was clearly...! *Reader’s Guide: ①In a nutshell, this is the story of how the clever and beautiful Miss Yuan gradually conquers Chang’an’s most eligible bachelor, taking him from “cold and indifferent” to “getting face-slapped every day.” ②A fictional setting inspired by the Tang dynasty. Please don’t nitpick the history. Primarily a romance, with court politics on the side. Theme: May the country prosper and the people live in peace, beneath clear skies and calm seas.

A Personal List of Historical Romance Novels

My tastes: I like stories that are a little bittersweet but not tragic, the kind that make your heart ache for a moment. I love aloof beauties, yanderes, lovesick male leads, and face-slapping.
