Shen Guanyu has been married to the Heir of Prince Qi for three years. She serves her parents-in-law, treats her sister-in-law with respect, and keeps the household running smoothly. She even does her best to conceal her husband's impotence, only to suffer endless taunts and torment in return.
Instead, she is branded a barren, jealous woman who has denied Prince Qi's family an heir and refuses to let the heir take a concubine. Shen Guanyu swallows even this injustice.
By chance, she discovers that the new emperor, Zhao Jiu, keeps a portrait of her hidden in his sleeve. He even admits to desiring her, and knows that Zhao Fu'an is impotent.
"You are lonely, my lady, and my harem is still empty." His voice is low and intoxicating.
Frightened, Shen Guanyu does everything she can to avoid court banquets where she might have to see the emperor.
But her loyalty earns her nothing. Zhao Fu'an does not even bother to preserve the dignity of their marriage. He conspires with his mother to ask his half-brother, Zhao Yihan, to father a child with her.
She sees through the drugged wine meant to arouse her. Her husband and mother-in-law both urge her to endure the humiliation and bear a child for them.
Shen Guanyu refuses to endure any longer. If Zhao Fu'an wants to borrow another man's seed, then she dares to borrow the emperor's. It's time the people of Prince Qi's household got a taste of the humiliation she's suffered for three years.
Bonus scene:
A family banquet is held at Kunning Palace. The new emperor and his clan sit together for the meal, and even the heir's wife, who has not entered the palace in ages, has come.
Shen Guanyu tips back a cup of wine, gathering courage from the drink. Beneath the table, her jade-shod foot trembles as it touches the emperor's boots.
Zhao Jiu looks up at her. Her eyes are slightly red at the corners, but she meets his gaze without flinching, a hint of seduction in them.
He drains his wine as well, then raises his empty cup toward Shen Guanyu.
No one knows what agreement they make in that moment.

Coming soon: Moonlight Boils Over
Li Chiyue once asked her consort, "On the day I ascend the throne, will you stay in the front court... or enter the harem?"
But Ji Qingxun chose the throne.
Princess Chiyue, who had once come so close to the throne, was locked in a warm chamber, heavily pregnant and left with nothing.
When the woman soon to be crowned empress brought her poisoned wine, she smiled sweetly and spoke of all the years the emperor had endured humiliation for his ambitions.
Ji Qingxun was just outside the door. He said, "A Luo wants too much, but isn't clever enough."
She truly wasn't clever enough, and that was how she had ended up in such a desperate situation.
With no way to turn things around, Li Chiyue threw herself from Ninghui Pavilion, carrying his child...
When she awoke, the impoverished strategist who had yet to make a name for himself was by her pillow.
Hatred gnawed at her. Now that trouble had found her, she had to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Ji Qingxun had chosen an ambitious princess and used her influence to pave his way to the throne.
Their passionate love was merely an added perk of becoming emperor.
But at some point, the princess began to slip out of his control.
Until one day, he saw the woman he held dear resting her head on another man's shoulder.
His self-control shattered. Ji Qingxun dragged Li Chiyue out of the young man's arms.
She showed no shame, only covering her collar as she said coldly, "How dare you? Do you really think you can treat me like a plaything?"
His princess looked at him with wild, hateful eyes.
Later, with blood staining the steps, Ji Qingxun still refused to let go of her hand. "I helped you achieve greatness. You belong to me."
Chiyue frowned at the filthy blood on her hand. "I only believe in the rule that when the cunning hare is dead, the hound is cooked."
Theme: Kindness is our nature, resilience our roots
I don't know why, but I felt sad when I read your article. I think the dignity of both men and women cannot be trampled upon. The emperor didn't make the mistake of choosing a letter, so why couldn't he communicate? The heroine had given up communication since she entered the palace, and then three years later she said that she suffocated at the thought of the emperor being with other women, and she took a eunuch with her for three years. The emperor has no personality at all. I am also a woman and I respect women's rights, but I feel uncomfortable watching this. Not all stories should end with the man's fault, right? In short, I feel that the heroine is particularly uncomfortable. She would rather treat a eunuch as a relative than try to have a heart-to-heart relationship with the person on her pillow, and then she says that she likes and loves her. It is very hypocritical.
After reading the entire book, I feel that the heroine's character is not at all different from the set character. The front part is really good, but personally I feel it is unfinished. The heroine doesn't believe in herself or her lover, and always likes to believe in other people. It's really nonsense.
I also thought the front part was really good, but after reading the entire book, I felt it was unsatisfactory. But I have to say that this cheesy skill is not ordinary. ●V● When I was watching, I was thinking: JJ can't be banned! ! ! Awesome, awesome
The front part is really beautiful, and the setting is very interesting. I feel that the setting of the heroine is broken. The heroine does not believe in herself or her lover, but is always willing to believe in other people. I can't understand it.
The story about Jiang Zhu's boyhood is very good, but the heroine's character in the back is really inexplicably pretentious and unfinished.
The extra story about Qiu Wen Miaoli and Commander Cheng is really exciting
The heroine really becomes more and more annoying as she writes.
After reading it, the author is really good at c h e
The author's driving skills are amazing. The late emperor raised his son like a poison
The author is awesome. This book is beautiful. I must be lucky enough to see so much in Xiaolujiang. . . . The text! ! ! ! Hahahahaha, highly recommended!
