Serving the Tiger with My Body

A gentle, scheming Empress X a jade-faced, ruthless general [Her Story] Liu Hanxun's elder half-sister, Empress Wanxian, died in Emperor Hongzhao's harem, leaving behind a young daughter. To bring glory to their family, they sent Liu Hanxun into the harem. Wanting to uncover the truth behind her sister's death, Liu Hanxun was willing to enter the palace and become Emperor Hongzhao's new empress. She never expected to discover that her sister had died at the emperor's hand. After thinking it over for one night, Liu Hanxun turned her attention to the fearsome general, Qin Min. She seduced Qin Min and roused his desire to rebel. After the rebellion succeeded and Emperor Hongzhao swallowed gold and killed himself, she set fire to the Empress's Changle Palace. Planning to escape through a secret passage with her sister's daughter and live in Jiangnan, she was instead surrounded on the way by the new emperor and the Imperial Guards. Liu Hanxun went from deposed empress to empress of the new dynasty. The new emperor confined her in the central palace and possessed her day and night. [His Story] Qin Min saw the empress again at a celebratory banquet after his victorious return. He had just returned from the battlefield, and the fury and murderous intent he'd brought back with him were impossible to suppress. The court officials were all terrified of his ferocity. The autumn moon shone like frost. He went outside to clear the wine from his head. In the center of a pavilion, he saw the dignified and gentle empress take off her shoes and socks. Her jade-white feet rested on a rug as she wore Western Regions attire and discussed dance with a lady-in-waiting from the Western Regions. Her snowy feet turned, her soft, moon-drenched waist looked delicate enough to snap. Every smile and frown of hers was breathtaking. The faint chime of her golden bells became the music that played in his dreams night after night. One-on-one, no cheating 2022.1.5 Theme: Strive for beauty
