[Sorry, my dear readers, I'm not satisfied with how this story turned out, so I'm making major revisions. I'll post it once they're done!]
"Aloof, abstinent emperor & beautiful, flirtatious maid who knows how to reel them in"
On the thirtieth day, it still hadn't worked.
Rong Dai was sternly warned by the empress dowager that if the emperor still showed no response to her, she would be sent off to become Prince Rui's concubine.
Rong Dai had initially approached Emperor Yun because she was afraid Prince Rui would torment her to death. How could she possibly go to that den of wolves now?
So she gritted her teeth, loosened her sash, and, taking advantage of the misty steam in the bathing chamber, reached out to stroke the waist of the emperor, ruler of all under heaven.
Emperor Yun was feigning sleep, waiting for her to overstep her bounds so he could make an example of her and deter the others.
The instant her fingers touched his skin, he suddenly sat up, ready to draw his sword and kill her.
But then he saw the audacious little maid kneeling before him, her cheeks flushed, gazing up at him like a frightened rabbit, a glimpse of snowy skin showing beneath her clothes.
For a moment, he couldn't control himself. Perhaps he could wait a little longer before killing her.
Later, Rong Dai decided she wanted to stay by Emperor Yun's side. Since His Majesty wanted her night after night, surely he had feelings for her too, and she could live in peace by relying on those feelings.
But one day, she suddenly learned that the reason Emperor Yun hadn't stopped her from approaching him was so he could make an example of her.
What's more, he had no regard for her predicament and was going to make Commandery Princess Jialin, who saw her as a thorn in her side, his empress.
Feeling the irrefutable proof of her two-month pregnancy, and remembering Jialin's inhuman torment, Rong Dai's heart turned cold and she was terrified out of her wits.
The day before the empress's coronation, she set fire to the bedchamber and fled.
What she didn't know was that after she left, the ruler of all under heaven, who had never been troubled by love and was always composed, lost his composure for the first time. He wanted to turn the capital upside down to find her.

Jiang Su swears she doesn't know how to soothe people. She really doesn't, especially not an aloof, stern official she's offended time and time again.
She hasn't even made it over to him before his icy glare sends her running.
As time drags on, she realizes that if she doesn't complete her task, her father will ground her. Gritting her teeth, Jiang Su gathers her courage and approaches him.
Xue Chong holds the rank of Assistant Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. He's a rare young talent who devotes himself entirely to his official duties.
But lately, some clueless little thing keeps disturbing him, giving him a headache.
Today she's gone too far, even daring to come right up to him.
To get rid of this nuisance once and for all, Xue Chong comes up with a solution that would make anyone shudder. If she insists on getting close to him, she has to go deep into the mountains and gather the freshest wolf fur to make a brush.
He thinks the young woman will realize it's too much trouble and give up. But three evenings later, as he stands beneath the covered walkway watching the rain, he suddenly sees someone running through the downpour.
She doesn't care about getting soaked. She dashes beneath the covered walkway, clutches the dripping wolf fur, grabs his sleeve, and asks with eager anticipation, "My lord, the fresh wolf-hair brush is here. Will you let me stay now?"
Xue Chong's expression shifts. For the first time, he doesn't brush her away, and he finds himself answering, "You can!"
From then on, his heart is in turmoil.
