Long Live the Empress

Ji Rongshi was the most valiant and battle-hardened emperor of the Great Qian dynasty. He thought everything had gone smoothly for the first twenty years of his life, until he married the Fifth Prince of Qiyun, sent to his court as a political bridegroom, and suffered the greatest defeat of his life. The fifth prince looked like a cool, aloof beauty, but in truth he was ruthless and vicious. Without Ji Rongshi ever knowing, the prince had played himself to death. Ji Rongshi’s love story hit a roadblock halfway through. He loved the man to death. Who would have thought that Heaven, unable to bear the sight, would let Ji Rongshi, who had followed his love in death, be reborn? Given another chance, Ji Rongshi learned from his painful mistakes. Deciding that getting in the first strike was best, he became moody, ruthless, and shamelessly full of double standards. At last, he won his beauty’s heart. This time, he would get everything he wanted, and not one of the people who deserved to die would get off easy. In his previous life: On their wedding night, Ji Rongshi left Jiang Lingyi alone in the bridal chamber until morning, saying only, “You are beautiful, yes, but there are so many palaces in my imperial residence. You can stay anywhere.” Jiang Lingyi changed his clothes, wrapped himself in the quilt, and slept soundly. In this life: After remembering a few fragments of the past, Jiang Lingyi shut Ji Rongshi out. Ji Rongshi coaxed him gently. “Yiyi, could you open the door and let me in?” A leisurely voice drifted from inside. “There are so many palaces in the imperial residence. You can go anywhere. You don’t have to come into my room.” A frail beauty of an empress top × an overbearing emperor who dotes on his husband bottom At heart, this is a sweet romance that hurts the top physically and the bottom emotionally.

Xie Yingxiu is Feng Xueya’s last surviving pixiu, a beautiful and powerful auspicious beast, worshipped by people as a divine guardian. But after coming down from the mountain, he became a no-name actor, barely into his career and already buried under a mountain of scandals. The struggling actor Xie Yingxiu was dirt poor. Wanting jewels to snack on and gold and silver to fill his little treasure trove, he got married. His spouse was a hugely popular star from a wealthy family, cold by nature and generous with money. He promised Xie Yingxiu he could pick any jewelry he wanted, and the starstruck beast was easily tricked into marrying him. Well, they were married now. His grandfather had said that spouses should treat each other with respect and courtesy, and Xie Yingxiu wholeheartedly agreed. Since they’d tied the knot, they should get along and support each other. But after they married, his spouse was never around. Whenever he checked in, he was either filming or doing a brand deal, so busy that they couldn’t see each other for ten days or even half a month. It made no difference whether there was one more person in the house or one less. Xie Yingxiu couldn’t take the cold shoulder anymore, and finally threw a divorce agreement in his spouse’s face. Get lost! He wasn’t going to make himself miserable just for a little treasure trove! * On the day of the divorce, paparazzi posted pictures of the two dining together and coming and going from the same place. Before the dating rumors could spread any further, someone else posted a picture of them unexpectedly running into each other while registering their marriage. The social media platform promptly crashed, and netizens insisted they must have gone to register their marriage. Xie Yingxiu’s agency refused to deny the rumors, telling him to use his ex’s fame to make more money while he could. Then, unbelievably, an invitation to a wildly popular dating show arrived. Xie Yingxiu took a look and realized it was that competitive dating show said to make every couple break up. Xie Yingxiu: … Xie Yingxiu: Sign me up! * But why? Isn’t this a dating show? Even if it’s a competitive dating show, it’s still a dating show, so why are there so many bizarre supernatural incidents? Now his identity as a divine beast is going to be exposed! His ex-husband, who’s been paired with him, is even stranger. He’s practically become a different person, constantly pampering and coaxing Xie Yingxiu, joining him to hunt demons, insisting on sticking close to him, and even saying he tastes good… * The thing Meng Shixu regretted most was saying “yes” that day. * Theme: Never underestimate the power of love and trust. As long as you don’t give up or abandon hope, you can fight your way toward a wonderful future!
