Consort, I Won't Allow You to Fall in Love!

"You wrapped the misunderstanding you keep talking about in the guise of deep devotion, then fell to your knees in a show of humility, hoping I'd forgive you."

"But that was your love. What does it have to do with me?"

"The person I love is like the moon: cool and gentle. Even his helpless sighs over me make my heart race."

During those three years in ancient times, Xiao Yan said to Wen Qiyu:

"Get on your knees! Not here. Go kneel outside the palace hall. I don't like the sight of you."

"How dare you reprimand Consort Li's maid? Eunuch Zhao, give the Noble Consort twenty strokes, then confine her to her palace for three months!"

"How could Consort Li have deliberately framed you? You vicious woman! Someone, whip her ten times!"

"You actually pushed Consort Li into the water! Guards, throw this wretch in and leave her there for a full hour!"

Later, she was falsely accused of causing Consort Li to miscarry. A cup of poisoned wine put an end to the absurdity of those three years, and she returned to the modern era.

But Xiao Yan followed her there like a ghost.

Now he says:

"Qiyu, I was only pretending during those three years. The truth is, I've always loved you."

"It hurts me to see you injured too, but circumstances left me no choice. Can you forgive me?"

"Will you come back with me? Be my empress. There won't be any other consorts. You'll be my one and only."

"Please, just look at me once. J-just once, okay?"

As the youngest professor at A University's law school, Qin Shiyu is exceptionally capable and stunningly handsome, yet he's an untouchable flower on a high mountain. He's been single since birth and always keeps an absolute distance from women.

Then one day, he finally activates his long-unused social media feed and posts for the first time: Today, she didn't want to scoop up the moon.

He adds two pictures. In the first, a young woman crouches by a river under the full moon, cupping water in her hands. Her cheeks are flushed with drink, but her smile is bright and beautiful.

The second shows their shadows on the ground beneath the moonlight. The long-haired woman has her arms around the waist of a tall figure, standing on tiptoe as she looks up at him.

Wen Qiyu then posts too: I want to cup you in my hands, and I want to kiss you.

#Qin Shiyu's tenderness is like aged wine: intoxicating and heady#

#Among all the people in the world, each has their own tenderness. His is the only kind I want to taste#

A stunning beauty whose only focus, besides her career, is the one she loves, paired with a cool, gorgeous beauty who's also gentle and proactive.

1. My writing skills are limited. Reasonable advice is welcome, but please don't attack me without cause.

2. The ancient setting is fictional, and the modern locations and characters are unrelated to real life.

3. The heroine has never loved the emperor.

4. The hero only makes a move once he's sure of his feelings.

5. The heroine is used to pretending to be gentle, but she isn't good-tempered.

6. The leads are each other's first and only, and this has a happy ending.
