To his surprise, on their wedding night, his wife looks at him coldly and says: You don't really think that, with everything going for me, I'd marry a useless man like you, do you? Male lead: Huh?

Story Four: [An Emperor Who Sees the Empress as His White Moonlight X A Female Empress Who Holds Great Power] As emperor, the male lead thinks of himself as devoted and lavishes favor on a palace maid who resembles the empress.

Zong Ling: You have a very strange sense of priorities. No wonder you can't be a good emperor. Reader's Guide: 1. Some worlds have a couple, while others do not. The male lead mentioned in the blurb is the original male lead. 2. The plot takes priority over logic. No need to announce it if you drop the novel.
