The Empress’s Splendid Road

[My new story, The Crown Prince’s Consort’s Struggle, is now underway! (*^▽^*)] Forced to become the last empress of a dynasty, Yan Rong becomes one of the people who bring down the rotten Great Qi dynasty, freeing herself and escaping with her life. But she never imagined that one day, after a new dynasty was established, she would once again ascend to the throne as empress and become the mother of the realm. An empress in two dynasties: Yan Rong can’t understand how Huo Heng, so proud and self-assured, could claim he fell for her at first sight. Huo Heng only smiles. He will never forget looking up that day and seeing the woman in a deep-black phoenix robe standing atop the towering jade steps, confident and radiant as the sun. She dazzled him in an instant. Like fine wine, she only grew more intoxicating with time. Reader’s notes: 1. One-on-one romance. 2. Set in a fictional world inspired by the late Eastern Han, when warlords divided the realm.
