I Desire to Ascend to Heaven

A confession from Emperor Qiming, a sage ruler of his age... Xiao Yu: I am a very unlucky emperor. As the Son of Heaven, I was deposed three times, and the one who deposed me was the cinnabar mark on my heart, the moonlight at my bedside, the secret love I've always longed for and yearned to see. The first time he came to court, it was as if a beam of light flashed before me, leaving just one thought in my mind: It's him. I couldn't help blurting out a compliment (flirtation): "You are a fine beauty. Why be a feudal lord?" And so, I was deposed for the first time. The second time, he returned in triumph from a military campaign. I beat a jar and sang to celebrate his great victory: "...The general marches off, never to return. How can I bear to keep the empty bed alone?~" And so, I was deposed for the second time. The third time, with the harem empty, my ministers urged me to choose an empress. I refused to my dying breath, then finally confessed: "The one I love is Xiang Wang Huayi." And so, I was deposed for the third time. #The Consequences of Having a Sharp Tongue# #Huayi Torments Me a Thousand Times, Yet I Love Him Like My First Love# At last, I won the beauty's heart. P.S. For the reason behind this title, see the character info. I want to ascend to heaven: I want to rise to the blue sky and seize the moon~ -End- Notes: 1. Don't be misled by the blurb. Huayi is the protagonist, the bottom, and the story is told in third person. 2. Though the protagonist deposed the emperor, he is by no means a treacherous minister. His reputation in history is like that of Yi Yin, who "sent Taijia into exile at Tong Palace." 3. This is a fictional setting. 4. Thanks to my dear Baishuliuyang for making this cover, so breathtaking, world-shaking, ravishing, peerlessly beautiful, enough to make readers cry when they hear of it and onlookers weep when they see it, a mighty pillar reaching to the heavens, hahaha!
