Xia Yuan, courtesy name Yuheng, formerly known as Ergouzi, is the youngest Minister of Revenue in the Great Jin dynasty, as well as the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor. He holds the highest rank in court.
The late emperor has passed away, and the new ruler has ascended the throne. By rights, this should be the perfect time for veteran ministers to assist the new emperor and consolidate their power. But Xia Yuan used to be such a rascal.
Back when the new emperor was still the crown prince, Xia Yuan was already quite the troublemaker. And when it came to the crown prince, who wore a deathly serious expression every day, he was even more incorrigible. Relying on his special status, he acted as if to say, "I just love how you can't stand me but can't kill me," and landed himself squarely on the crown prince's blacklist.
Now, Xia Yuan is near tears as he says, "I beg Your Majesty to allow me to resign and retire to care for my family."
The emperor still wears his deathly serious expression. "Too late."
The ministers remark, "This old courtier and the new emperor have quite a history."
Blurb:
The new emperor, Zhao Ying, says, "What? Xia Yuan? Like him? That's impossible. He's my enemy! If I don't kill him, I'll stop being a Zhao!"
Later: "Umm... From now on, I guess I'll be surnamed Xia..."
1) The heroine is independent and optimistic, and the hero grows over the course of the story. Before the heroine's identity is revealed, she and the emperor are enemies, so don't expect him to dote on her from the start. Once their misunderstandings are cleared up, they bring warmth and fulfillment to each other's lives.
2) The story is a little slow to warm up, and the main narrative is interspersed with flashbacks. There are quite a few clues, so please don't criticize the story before the truth is revealed.
3) Xia Yuan is the heroine, the heroine, the heroine. BG, BG, BG. One-on-one romance, one-on-one romance, one-on-one romance. Important things are said three times.
New story coming soon: The Consort's Guide to Self-Cultivation
On the day she first entered the palace, the sky was clear and the breeze was gentle.
Luo Yaoxue wore a pink palace dress for selected maidens and walked at the very end of the line. As the daughter of a sixth-rank county magistrate, she thought she was only going through the motions, never expecting to be selected by chance.
The inner palace was perilous, and every step was like walking on thin ice.
Above her was a reborn imperial consort who enjoyed the emperor's favor beyond measure; below her was a clever transmigrator who had become her good sister.
As a low-ranking concubine with no powerful family behind her, Luo Yaoxue never dared to hope for anything. She only wished to live out her days in peace.
She never expected Li Sheng to take an interest in her after one chance encounter. He thought of her day and night, tossing and turning in bed.
Luo Yaoxue said, "From the moment I stepped through the palace gates, I stopped hoping for sincerity or love. To be a proper palace consort, not bring trouble to my family, and not drag my sisters into it would be the greatest blessing."
Li Sheng said, "Very well. You just focus on doing your duty. Leave everything else to me."

The hibiscus is the consorts' downfall, as they use their beauty to sway those around them.
Everyone said that Luo Yaoxue, who had nothing but her beauty, had won the emperor's favor by using her looks to beguile him, and that it could not last.
Yet with a lifetime of exclusive favor, she proved to the world that by refusing to contend, no one under heaven could contend with her.
Theme:
To be honest, I won't comment on the scenes where the male and female protagonists are like, you run and I chase. Even if there are some aspects of the behavior that make me confused, I still like the female protagonist very much. But for the son of the male and female protagonist, I really felt like I had swallowed a fly. I can understand the plot, but I can't understand why this character was added to the plot. The only thing he showed off was that he took a Long Aotian script, was precocious and became a blockbuster when he grew up, and was better than all the characters sitting here. If the female protagonist doesn't accompany him, she will feel guilty for the rest of her life. The male protagonist grows up and grows up, but in the end, when he is only in his thirties, he is repeatedly persuaded to abdicate by his son who has the potential to be an emperor. I guess I'm a bit extreme, but I really feel that after watching the final extra chapter, I felt that the male and female protagonists struggled for more than 140 chapters. Not to mention that there is basically no explanation at the end for the heroine who plays a very important role along the way.
I've finished reading it. It's really well written. It's rare that I'm willing to read it all. I hope the author will keep up his good work.
How can this book be so good!
Forever, a heart will last forever!
Let's talk about heroes over wine, and the overlord will come from my generation. One represents my true love that will last forever!
That porcelain guy made me laugh to death
87.5% Sun Yue, the eldest son of the emperor, and Sun Yu, the second son of the emperor, are not surnamed Zhao?
Another crematorium for chasing his wife
It's like watching the story of these two little things.
Damn, will you read their stories? Also, I would like to express my love for the ending!
