[The story of a delicate, needy little darling who becomes the empress, showered with love]
The princess holds a spring banquet. Later, the emperor arrives, and beauties entertain him with song and dance.
But beauties are as numerous as clouds, and not one catches the emperor's eye. Displeased, he leaves early.
Yang Huiyin is the granddaughter of the Duke of Sui. By nature playful, she and several companions accidentally wander into the rear garden of the princess's residence. There, they find the emperor, who had just been seated at the head of the banquet, dismissing the others and speaking quietly with the princess.
Her companions scatter, but Yang Huiyin is still blindfolded. Completely unaware, she reaches out and catches the man's arm.
The princess is about to scold her, but the man beside her stops her.
The emperor isn't angry. Smiling, he takes her favorite bird's nest pastry from the table to coax her, and accidentally calls her by her childhood nickname.
"Sese, come here."
The current emperor has always looked unfavorably on the Duke of Sui's household. Yet later, that precarious ducal house produces a young empress.
Everyone waits for the empress to lose the emperor's favor. But in time, the emperor comes to cherish her, once the least remarkable of them all, as the jewel of his heart, allowing her to stand at his side as his one and only equal. Through endless years, they share a tender life together.
*
I have waited for her for so many years. My joy depends on her, and so does my anger. I never say one thing while feeling another.
She was always a pearl hidden beneath dust. Only after he carefully protected her could the dust fall away and her radiance shine through, clear inside and out.
He stands high above the world, looking down on all beneath him, yet his eyes see only her, still humble as dust.
She was the regret he carried from his previous life, and the one he would devote the rest of his life to.

Upcoming
The Traitor's Wife
When Jiang Lanwu was fifteen, a new emperor ascended the throne and granted a group of palace servants permission to return home. She bribed the Director of the Palace Service and was allowed to leave the palace and marry her cousin.
Her husband was a refined and noble man. They lived in harmony after marrying, treating each other with respect and affection. But then he was falsely implicated in an exam fraud case and thrown in jail. Awu rushed everywhere for help, but no one would hear her. She could only watch as her husband was exiled thousands of miles away and she herself was driven out by her uncles.
When she was at a loss, a nobleman who happened to be passing by took her and her mother-in-law in. In return, she had to go and serve another nobleman.
Her benefactor said that if she served the nobleman well, her husband might still have a chance at survival. The emperor had so many women. Once her husband returned under an amnesty, she could still be Lady Jiang.
Late at night at the imperial retreat, the beauty emerged from her bath wearing nothing but a thin gauzy robe. She presented the emperor with the letter of appeal her husband had written in his own blood.
But the emperor was in no hurry to read it. Instead, he gazed at the beauty before him.
"I've long heard that your beauty is unparalleled. Having seen you today, I find the rumors true."
She couldn't remember when she had caught the eye of the most powerful man in the world, but the emperor had never stopped thinking about her.
The male lead in Moonlight in My Arms is reborn.
The Zheng family has a daughter named Guanyin, a woman of incomparable beauty. After she enters the palace, however, the empress sends her to a Taoist temple in the western garden to sweep floors, leaving her no opportunity to meet the emperor.
But the current emperor favors Taoist alchemists, so there is still a way for her to gain an audience.
Later, she uses a few tricks to draw a gentle, older Taoist into a relationship. He is of the imperial clan, so she can either get closer to the emperor or, if that fails, have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.
One day, she accidentally enters the meditation chamber of the Taoist in the western garden and discovers many meticulously painted portraits of beauties. They bear the emperor's seal. Though the paintings are old, the beauties' expressions and features look exactly like hers.
Zheng Guanyin is horrified and tries to flee, only to see the handsome, graceful Taoist step inside and block her in.
On the imperial bed, the beauty looks exactly like the woman in the paintings. But the emperor's jade sash binds her hands, and delicate chains encircle her ankles, barely concealed beneath her Taoist robes.
The emperor sheds his gentle disguise, bends down, and grips her chin. His tone is calm, but his eyes are full of menace. "Yinyin, if you won't marry me, who do you think you can marry?"
Everyone knows that Emperor Wei is obsessed with immortality and takes no interest in women. But no one knows that, for ten years, the emperor has often spent his nights painting a portrait of a beauty.
He wants to grind her bones to dust, but when they meet again, as if possessed, he drapes his robe over her delicate shoulders once more.
Even though he knew in his previous life how cold and calculating she was beneath her stunning beauty, when she cries like a rain-soaked pear blossom and petulantly tells him to go away, he cannot move an inch.
The once stern emperor changes his clothes and carefully pretends to be the upright gentleman she loves. He watches her happily resting on his knee, and his schemes fall apart because of her. Once wasn't enough, so he falls for her a second time.
*
He thought he hated her to the bone, but in truth, he was mad with longing.
Only after his identity is revealed does he realize that the so-called aloof beauty has been plotting to win her for a long time.
Spring at the Imperial Palace
When the new emperor ascends the throne, his first edict denounces the late emperor's empress for adultery and strips her of her title as his adoptive mother.
Princess Ji Wan of Lanling ignores the torrential rain at night, lets down her hair, and kneels before Zichen Hall. She begs to be made a commoner and gives up her fief, offering herself in her mother's place to bear the punishment.
She harbors a glimmer of hope. But the brother who once doted on her now sits high above her, no longer gentle as he once was. He imprisons her and treats her as an accomplice.
From then on, no one knows where the once-famous Princess of Lanling has gone. But the emperor now keeps a secret beauty by his side.
That night, Zichen Hall is ablaze with lamplight. The emperor rises from his bed and tenderly strokes the sleeping beauty, sighing, "If Qianqian had been this obedient from the start, the deposed empress would have been spared so much suffering."
The beauty is stamped with the seal "Made for the Emperor" and kept as his possession, hidden away in the inner palace for his amusement. But she has never truly been obedient. She plans to escape the palace with help from her former fiance.
That night, their carriage has barely left Chang'an when a loud crash sounds outside.
Gu Wan, disguised as a peasant woman inside the carriage, lifts the curtain to look. Beside the carriage shaft, her lover has been shot through the chest. His body crashes to the ground.
The emperor rides out of the woods in his hunting clothes, looking down at her with a smile. "I have a fondness for hunting wild foxes at night. I hope I haven't frightened you, Qianqian."
"Qianqian, you are always so willful and naive."
He gently wipes the tears from Ji Wan's cheek. "Wherever the sun and moon shine is the emperor's land. The empress is carrying my child. With only a wild fox for company, where do you think you can run?"
*
When the late emperor was alive, he often held the young Princess of Lanling in his arms and said to the heir apparent, "I am gravely ill. If I do not live long, you must take good care of your sisters and find them suitable husbands."
The dutiful heir apparent would always grieve and weep on the ground, unable to promise.
Years later, the heir apparent ascended the throne. He listed the crimes of the late emperor's empress, stripped Princess of Lanling of her title, removed her from the imperial register, and imprisoned her in the emperor's palace, taking her for himself. He executed, one by one, all the men who had once hoped to marry her.
He had once been a virtuous young man praised by the world, yet he refused to yield even an inch when it came to her, earning himself a reputation stained with sin.
"If sitting on this throne means I still can't do whatever I want, then what's the point?"
I Married the Tyrant Again After Returning
Age gap / love at first sight / past and present lives / mutual devotion
Rumor has it that the tyrant murdered his father and brothers, leaving rivers of blood wherever his armies marched. He has ruled for twenty years, and no woman but the late empress has dared to approach him.
But Yin Yunxiu is unusually bold. She specifically asks Princess Xinyang to let her accompany her to Shanglin Park.
The emperor stands on a high terrace, gazing into the distance. The mountains and rivers stretch out before him, but he feels all the more lonely.
The instant he sees her, he loses himself for a moment, then joyfully calls out, "Susu!"
When I first met Susu, I was three years older than her. When I married her again, I was more than twenty years older.
She is forever like a young deer wearing a flower crown, young and lively. But I am nearly forty, no longer worthy of being called "Erlang" by her.
*Even after fifteen years, I would still recognize you among the countless people in the world and cross every obstacle to come to your side, just as I did then.*
"I am willing to be the crown upon Your Majesty's head and the wind at your side. Wherever you go, I will follow like your shadow."
How do you know that closing your eyes now isn't opening them in another world?

It is more painful to have something and then lose it than to have never gained it. Peter is so pitiful.
In fact, the eldest princess liked Yuwen at first, but the emperor had no children. If she married Yuwen, not allowing him to become an official would delay his future. If he was allowed to become an official, she would be afraid that the family's excessive power would threaten the imperial power, and if she had children, the Yuwen family would inevitably become ambitious. She and Yuwen had too many worries, but unlike her younger brother, the Yang family had already been convicted and executed. The young general did not pose much of a threat without the help of the family. It happened that the general liked the eldest princess, so it was the best choice for the eldest princess to choose him.
Alas, I feel like my brother and Chaoyang were so good in my previous life. Maybe it won't be so painful if I don't have the memory of my previous life when I'm reborn.
It's a pity that they are not together in this life, but it is even more uncomfortable to think that they were together in the previous life. Sesu and Yuan Bai were not really together due to hatred, and their evening scene was very desolate. They were also separated by hatred, but they were together. This was nothing, but it seemed a bit inappropriate in comparison. That's fine. When the emperor died and he was with the eldest princess, did he ever think about how his sister lived in the palace? In his previous life, he was the son of a sinner who was able to marry a princess. Although he was capable, but if it weren't for his sister, would he have been able to go out and perform meritorious service? Maybe I am a protagonist fan, but when I think about the heroine being bullied in the palace in her previous life, I feel that it would be better not to have such a brother.
It may not be fragrant in the new year! Yuwen and Chaoyang's childhood sweethearts didn't make a big splash, but it was just a long-term relationship. Moreover, Chaoyang refused to marry into the Yuwen family at first because the emperor had no concubines and no children. If the princess married a powerful general, the world would belong to the Yuwen family in a hundred years... And if the princess married Yuwen, she would have to stay away from the center of the political power and could only be a vase... There is no contradiction between having a lover and being attracted to someone other than the lover. Otherwise, how could there be cheating? Isn't it just that you are attracted to someone other than your lover, but you don't have enough self-restraint?
Brother-in-law: You are noble and awesome. You chased my wife and killed my wife. If it weren't for the age difference between you and your sister, you would have disturbed your wife too.
The previous lives of my younger brother and Chaoyang were both beautiful and sweet.
See you next time ( ̄▽ ̄)
Alas, after reading this, I think Bo Zhu and Chaoyang are a good match.
Wow! Mrs. Word count! 400,000 Yuan, obsessive-compulsive disorder is too comfortable
