A devoted, one-on-one romance from the moment she enters the palace. A sweet treat!

"Tall and stately, like jade tablets and fine jade; renowned and admired. A gentle, gracious gentleman, a guiding example to all under heaven."

The Book of Odes, "Juan A"

As the first and only empress of the Qing dynasty born to a humble Han family,

Wei Jia Ninghuan lived a life worthy of legend.

From a palace maid of lowly bondservant origins to Ling Guifei, the most favored consort in the Six Palaces,

she eventually became empress and took her rightful place at the center of the palace.

People assumed she must be deeply calculating, scheming at every turn.

But the truth was hardly so dark:

she simply had the love of the most powerful man under heaven.

[About the Emperor]

He was the most exalted man in the land, the emperor of the Great Qing. Though he ruled the realm, he remained true to himself, loving only her all his life and cherishing her like a precious jewel. He devoted his entire life to making her empress, placing a shining pearl upon her crown and seating her in the Kunning Palace, so she could become his rightful wife and live a proud, radiant life.

[About Their Son, the Jiaqing Emperor Yongyan]

"Tall and stately, like jade tablets and fine jade; renowned and admired. A gentle, gracious gentleman, a guiding example to all under heaven."

According to etiquette, the emperor was supreme, and his relatives and all the people of the realm had to avoid speaking his name.

So he changed his son's name to Yongyan.

He gave their son this vast empire, and even the name that set him above all others was filled with thoughts of her.

Warnings:

1. The heroine is a Mary Sue, and this is a wish-fulfillment story.

2. The heroine enters the palace in a one-on-one relationship. The emperor will not favor anyone else or have children with other consorts. She is his only beloved.

3. This is an alternate Qing dynasty! An alternate Qing dynasty! An alternate Qing dynasty! The historical timeline has been changed in all sorts of ways, and there are many original settings, so please don't nitpick the history!

4. All settings and plot points serve the story!

5. This is a passion project written just because the author wanted to write a sweet romance between an emperor and Ling Fei. If it's not to your taste, please part ways peacefully. No need to leave a comment, and please don't insult anyone. Thank you, everyone. orz

The Records of the Zhou Dynasty, "Biographies of Empresses," states: "Empress Yuanyi, Lady Lu Jin, was a daughter of the distinguished Lu clan, a family of generations of high officials. Her beauty was unmatched beneath heaven, and her elegance peerless. She and the emperor had known each other since childhood and were childhood sweethearts. Emperor Yuanchen adored her, named her empress, abolished his three thousand concubines, and honored her alone, making her the most favored woman in the realm."

The Lu clan of the Duke of Xian's mansion in Great Zhou was one of the most powerful families in the capital, a prestigious house of wealth and influence.

As the youngest legitimate daughter of the Lu clan, Lu Jin was raised in luxury, doted on by everyone. But after an unexpected turn of events, she left the capital to recuperate and only returned years later. People secretly pitied and mocked her.

Who could have guessed that an imperial decree would arrive at the Duke of Xian's mansion, appointing its legitimate daughter, Lu Jin, as empress? The capital's noble young ladies ground their teeth in envy, while the Duke's household was shrouded in gloom.

Everyone knew the current emperor was cold and ruthless, ruling with an iron fist. He had risen from a pitiful prince whose birth mother died early to become the emperor of Great Zhou and ruler of the realm, proof of his deep cunning and formidable political skill.

Yet not long after Empress Lu entered the palace, the emperor issued an order abolishing his three thousand concubines and honoring her alone.

From then on, Empress Lu was not only exalted and cherished, but also the sole occupant of the emperor's heart, much to everyone's envy.

When Chu Beiyao was young, his mother was low-ranking and had been out of favor for years. Emperor Xingping disliked and rejected them both. Then, while he was still a child, his mother died, and everyone in the palace dared to bully him.

Only one little girl neither disliked nor feared him. After "saving" him once, she couldn't be driven away. She even brazenly declared that he wasn't allowed to marry any other girl.

After enduring countless hardships, he finally ascended the throne. He planned to welcome her as his empress, just as she had asked, but his little girl no longer remembered him.
