Jade Gauze Window, Green Cloudlike Hair

Completed. Not a tragedy. // Now starting a new novel, Spring Colors on a Painted Screen at Daming Palace

In soft, winding whispers, even the height of glory carries the deepest solitude. How can it compare to such passion, claiming all the world's beauty and charm?

After years of enduring humiliation and shouldering burdens, Zhao Ze finally ascended the throne. The darkness he had kept buried in his heart grew unchecked. Shen Zhen, too, went from a bright, innocent girl to the empress of the realm. The young couple grew into adults and reached the pinnacle of imperial power, only for suspicion, estrangement, and revenge to follow one after another.

As the wheel of fate turned slowly, the young empress adopted Zhao Yun, a prince born to a lowly mother. The struggle for the throne became inevitable.

Seeking redemption, sinking into despair, she once wandered, unsure where to go. They had loved, hated, and tormented each other, seeming to face no end in sight, yet she never gave up.

"I have always lived with integrity. Only this once. Just once, and it has condemned me to endless torment."

"Zhen'er, the moment you reached out to me in the mire, that was where the mistake began. Weeds growing in the muck, once they cling to you, can never be shaken off."

"Even if the whole world condemns me, Yun, I will not be afraid in the slightest."

Neither the hero nor the heroine is a saint or a perfect person. The first-person narration is simply for conveying emotions more easily. I'm inexperienced and haven't applied for a contract yet, so updates are slow. I hope you'll be patient. Thanks to all the lovely readers who have encouraged and guided me along the way. Let's keep going together. (This novel has two male leads.)

Theme: People must actively work to change their circumstances
