Please Call Me Your Majesty, the Empress

Ji Yunxi is a beautiful and clever princess of Great Zhou. After her country is defeated, the old emperor of Great Qi demands that she enter his harem. After three years of war and suffering, she resolutely sets out on a political marriage.

But just after she arrives in Great Qi, a coup breaks out. The old emperor dies, and a new emperor takes the throne, leaving her in an awkward position.

The tyrannical new emperor orders his consorts to be buried with him. Ji Yunxi visits him in the middle of the night, but they are both drugged, and she becomes his woman.

Faced with Yan Ce’s misunderstanding and humiliation, Ji Yunxi simply smiles and lets it go. She is a princess of Great Zhou. She would never stoop to such underhanded tricks.

Yan Ce is moody and unpredictable, sometimes cold and sometimes warm. Exhausted from dealing with him, she finally fakes her death and escapes when an envoy arrives at court.

Male lead’s blurb:

Yan Ce spent years biding his time, fighting in wars across the land.

That night, she was alluring and graceful. He mistakenly thought she had drugged him to win his favor, yet couldn’t put aside his pride to apologize. She was so noble and beautiful that he couldn’t help wanting to pull her down from her pedestal and make her fall with him.

He kept her by his side, unable to resist her charms.

The great fire consumed the golden cage he had built for her, and the proud, noble woman vanished along with it.

His heart felt hollow. He coughed up blood and fell ill, never to recover.

Three years later, when the emperor of Great Zhou named a new crown princess, he rushed there like a madman, only to see that woman holding a young child and leaning sweetly against her childhood sweetheart...

One couple
