How Could Your Heart Not Be Moved?

(Everyone, there's no need to read this one.)

Su You was born into a distinguished family, with skin as smooth as jade and natural beauty.

One day, a military coup destroyed her family, leaving her destitute and forcing her into a brothel.

The madam treated her like a precious jewel, hoping to sell her for a high price, but Su You refused to accept this fate.

One day, at the capital's grand beauty pageant, the regent of the new dynasty passed by.

She turned to look at him just as the silk ribbon above her snapped, sending her tumbling straight into his arms.

The crowd gasped, instinctively mourning the loss of such a peerless beauty.

But the regent, rumored to be cruel, violent, obsessive, and cold, caught her securely in midair.

When she raised her glistening eyes, full of fear and helplessness, to look at him, the regent, whose expression never changed, was visibly moved. The ice in his heart melted, and he felt as if he were walking on clouds.

Everyone said Su You had struck it lucky: the regent had taken a liking to her. If she wanted the stars, he would pluck the moon for her.

If she wanted spring flowers, he would never give her autumn fruit.

Until one day, the regent asked in a deep voice, "What would it take for you to stay by my side?"

Su You's eyes sparkled as she smiled and pointed to the lofty throne: "I want the Great Yin Dynasty. I want to change the ruling house!"

The regent gazed at her adoringly. "Fine. I'll give it to you."

And so, in the end, he rebelled and seized the throne.

A man's heart should be as hard as steel, yet how could he resist the charms of his beloved?

Coming soon: My Consort Is Just Too Alluring

Meng Huan Zhen was blessed with a jade-like beauty, a stunning woman beyond compare, and so she entered the palace as a consort.

But that same face made the other consorts unite against her and secretly suppress her. A year after entering the palace, she still hadn't even caught a glimpse of the emperor.

Poor thing, she was even reduced to going hungry.

So she gritted her teeth and decided to do something big: sneak into the Imperial Kitchen and steal some food!

Who could have guessed that on her very first attempt, a handsome guard would catch her red-handed?

In her panic, she kicked him in the groin. "I knew you were up to no good, you lecherous scoundrel! You shameless rake!"

The second time they met

He gritted his teeth and crowded close. "Woman, do you know that I am the emperor?"

She burst out laughing. "You're the emperor? Then I'm the emperor's consort!"

And so, the next day

Meng Huan Zhen, the invisible nobody of the imperial harem, finally spent the night with the emperor!

That night, she was excited and conflicted. Her face flushed like a peach blossom, her eyes glistening as she looked up at him. But the moment she saw the emperor, her eyes flew open in shock!

Later on

Meng Huan Zhen just couldn't take it anymore!

She, on the verge of breaking down: "Your Majesty, please share your favor among the harem!"

The emperor, looking at her with ill intent: "But what if I only want to favor you, my beloved consort?"

At first

The emperor, sneering inwardly: "You don't know me? Is this some new trick to compete for my favor? Let's see when you finally show your true colors!"

Later

The emperor: "This is great!"
