After her family fell into ruin, Tan Su was confiscated and sent to the palace.
Every day, she stayed by the Empress Dowager's side, watching her pray and abstain from meat,
praying that her son would turn back from the brink and rein in his cruel nature, praying that Jin would enjoy peace, prosperity, and flourishing fortunes.
On the day the rebels reached the city gates, the disheveled tyrant was holding Tan Su close, about to share a tender moment, when a panicked young eunuch rushed in with a report and interrupted them.
He nearly smashed the eunuch's skull in,
but the delicate beauty on the bed, alluring and captivating, spoke up in time to stop him.
With tears in her eyes, she stretched out her arms to the tyrant, looking pitiful: “Your Majesty, I'm afraid.”
The tyrant gripped her chin and kissed her hard. Desire and a murderous cruelty clashed in his dark eyes, a truly terrifying sight.
“I'll be right back.”
The tyrant cut off the rebels' heads and hung them from the city walls.
Blood ran from his black armor all the way to the gates of Weiyang Palace,
but the place was already deserted. Not even a single strand of hair remained.
The man set the palace ablaze, along with the letter Tan Su had left behind.
When the tyrant found Tan Su, he gripped her throat fiercely.
But when the woman cradled her slightly rounded belly and called to him timidly, “Your Majesty,”
his hand loosened against his will...
Gentle and easygoing x cold-blooded tyrant
