Palace of Painted Fragrance: The Noble Consort's Charm

Female Lead's Version: A chance trip to the palace, and she never returns home. The Empress Dowager personally appoints Chi Ying as one of the Emperor's consorts. Faced with a fate she cannot change, a declining family, and an old father who has laid down his arms and retired, should she retreat or press on? Endure or fight back? Male Lead's Version: Fortune favors him, and the once-idle prince ascends the throne. The moonlit beauty he once saw and could never forget is suddenly by his side. Aside from the imperial love he cannot give her, which she could not bear to accept, what else can he offer her? Reader's Guide: This story has a happy ending, so read without worry. An emperor's love is like fireworks shooting into the sky, turning to dust at the very moment they shine brightest. An emperor's love is like the cold moon of autumn, standing alone in its reflection at the moment it is fullest. Theme:
