A Regretful Emperor

[Groveling to win her back | Delicate beauty x Gentle, yet unhinged]

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has taken a new concubine."

"Has he not brought enough concubines into the palace over the years?"

"But, but this time, the woman he has taken is a daughter of the Su family..."

He had long since forgotten his promise never to take another concubine. And this time, he went even further, bringing before her the very person she hated most: the murderer of her family.

On that day,

no one in Heqing Palace could forget, despite the emperor's repeated orders, just how badly the empress lost her composure when Consort Su entered the palace.

The emperor rose in alarm and grasped the blade in her hand. Blood ran freely as he lowered his eyes, revealing an inscrutable expression.

"After all these years, Empress, you are still as reckless and unrestrained as ever."

Lu Wanrou was reborn on her wedding night with Rong Chengyan.

This time, he still wanted to use her maternal grandfather's influence, and, as always, he loved to pretend he was deeply devoted to her.

At their first meeting after she was reborn,

Lu Wanrou dismissed her maids, leaving only a wooden basin in the palace hall. She planted her jade feet on Rong Chengyan's body, and as she watched his gentle smile falter, her red lips moved:

"It's cold. My feet are cold too."

Rong Chengyan understood what she meant. He lowered his head and fell silent for a moment, then wrapped his long fingers around her ankle. No matter how unwilling and disgusted he felt, he still had to ask her gently and warmly:

"Is the water temperature comfortable?"

*

Later, he willingly bowed before her, only for her to kick him away.

Watching the beauty in his heart walk hand in hand with another, how could Rong Chengyan not go mad?
