Your Majesty, Please Look at Me

# A powerful emperor steals the woman he desires, driven mad by love he cannot have

[Blurb One] (Synopsis)

If the emperor hadn't interfered, Liu Yuniang and Zhao Yunsheng would have been a perfect match.

They'd known each other since childhood and been married for years, sharing a deep and loving bond.

Later, Zhao Yunsheng placed first in the imperial examinations. A princess took a liking to him and asked the emperor to arrange their marriage. When Zhao refused, he was thrown into prison.

When Liu Yuniang heard, she rushed to the palace to seek an audience with the empress, renowned for her virtue.

But she didn't know that the emperor had coveted her for a long time, and was just waiting for her to walk into his trap.

[Blurb Two] (Scene)

In the emperor's bedchamber, the Son of Heaven sat on a high platform, watching Liu Yuniang kneel and plead for mercy, his expression dark and conflicted.

Before, he had no choice but to watch her live in harmony with her husband. Now that he held supreme power, no one could stop him.

"Zhao Yunsheng defied my decree. If I release him so easily, won't I lose my authority?"

"Unless my lady is willing to offer herself to me in his place."

[Blurb Three] (The Emperor's Perspective)

"If you had to do it all over again, would you still save me?"

"No. If I'd known you'd repay kindness with betrayal, I would have stood by and done nothing."

Pei Che mocked himself. The person he hated most in this life was the late emperor, yet now he had become just like him.

Love takes root without anyone knowing, then grows deep and unshakable.

The first time he saw her, all he felt was resentment. The second time, he wanted to take her away. The third time, he envied her husband. The fourth time, he was determined to have her.

But he could possess her body, never her heart.

Even when he offered her the throne of empress with both hands, she wanted nothing to do with it.
