Zhou Qi always thought he liked charming, beautiful, clever, and decisive women, like his empress. She was beautiful, cunning, and capable. He helped her ascend to the throne as empress, gave her boundless affection and power, and made their precocious legitimate son crown prince... But only after she died did he realize that the cold, timid woman had long since taken root deep in his heart!
Unfortunately, the damage was done, and it was too late for regret!
Everyone in the Great Zhou court knew that Emperor Jianwu and the empress were devoted to each other. Until that day, when the emperor, eyes bloodshot, wielding a sharp sword, slaughtered the concubines and children in the harem. Covered in blood, he carried the only surviving child, an infant who looked unlikely to live long, and placed him on the throne.
"Only my ninth son, Wei, shall succeed me."
Not long after Zhou Qi ascends the throne, a woman's figure often appears in his dreams. When she cries, his heart aches. When she treats him with cold indifference, his heart feels as if it is being cut apart. But every time he wakes, he realizes it was only a fleeting dream.
During a private visit, he unexpectedly runs into the woman from his dreams...
