[A Reborn Heroine Who Seriously Means Business] x [A Younger Emperor Who Plays the Pig to Eat the Tiger]
Chu Zhaoyue knows full well that the emperor before her, three years her junior and seemingly young and held in check by the great clans, is actually a ruthless man capable of turning the tables on everyone.
In her previous life, she witnessed Li Chengye's masterful moves firsthand as he rebuilt the imperial government in an epic campaign over a sea of blood and bones. As his wife, she was caught between him and her family, and in the end was confined deep within the palace, where she spent the rest of her days.
In this life, she is determined to change her fate and make her mark on history.
Li Chengye says he has put up with the great clans long enough.
They meddle in court affairs, and now they even want to control His Majesty's marriage. The woman they sent is the daughter of the Left Chancellor, a woman who opposes him at every turn. Their intentions are truly unforgivable. He would rather jump from the high tower of the Observatory than marry her!
W-Well, she is kind of charming.
Chu Zhaoyue suddenly notices that her little emperor has changed lately. Gone is the ruthless man from her previous life. Now he's playing at being an aloof, clingy emperor who wants to be cuddled. Could it be that her recent moves have aroused the great clans' suspicions, so they need to put on a show of marital harmony?
So she begins a life of acting lovey-dovey with the little emperor by day, then seriously reporting on the state of their campaign by lamplight at night.
Li Chengye angrily throws something down.
