Loved to the Eyebrows

[Cold, stoic prince of a different surname x sweet young commandery princess, drafting in progress] Qi Jintang was born prematurely, with a delicate constitution and a sweet, docile temperament. When she learned that her father wanted to marry her off to the Prince of Chuyang, she was terrified. Li Wenyu, the Prince of Chuyang, came from a family of generals with generations of military achievements. He held most of the empire's military power in his hands. He himself was certainly a formidable figure: tall and muscular, with a straight nose and deep-set eyes. His gaze even had a faint blue sheen. He looked like he could kill an ox from across the room. Qi Jintang had once seen Li Wenyu meet an old acquaintance in a peach grove. They seemed to have unfinished business. He was involved with someone else, yet still wanted to discuss marriage with her? A few days later, she happened to see him catch a spy and casually break both the man's arms without even looking up. Who could handle such a fierce, ruthless military man? Qi Jintang resisted the marriage, but Li Wenyu arrived as promised and formally asked for her hand. That night, she dreamed that he was an ambitious traitor who raised a rebellion and overthrew her imperial uncle. In the dream, she fell hopelessly in love with Li Wenyu. She watched him ascend the throne and raise his one true love to the position of empress. She spent every day weeping until she went blind. Qi Jintang woke in disbelief, filled with dread. On their wedding day, she set three rules with Li Wenyu: no closeness, no touching, and they would only be a couple in name. Then she watched him make his moves one step at a time, and he really did become emperor with ease. Qi Jintang knew exactly what would happen next, so she took out their contract. "Our deal is over. I trust you'll give me the gold, silver, and fiefdom you promised." She wouldn't cry, and she had no intention of concerning herself with him and his one true love. Li Wenyu kept a blank expression as he forcibly confiscated the contract. "I never intended to live apart from my empress." Qi Jintang was crowned empress, and her attempt to divorce him failed. She suspected fate was manipulating her, trying to make her cry until she went blind. The new emperor spent every night in the empress's chambers, as regular as clockwork. Yet she was like an ice block in his arms, impossible to warm. He twirled a lock of her hair. "Does Jintan have a problem with me?" Qi Jintang looked wary and clenched her soft, pale hand. "I will never cry for you." Li Wenyu: "?" Later, she sat in his arms, too weak to support herself, tears gathering on her lashes. He gently kissed the red, damp corners of her eyes without exposing her. Qi Jintang sobbed and bit his shoulder as she protested. "I-I'm not crying..." Li Wenyu: "...I know." 1. Both leads are sexually inexperienced and devoted only to each other. The one true love is fake, and the dream isn't reality. There are no past or present lives. 2. The heroine is delicate all over, but stubborn in speech; the hero may be a little too muscular, orz. 3. The old emperor has committed many crimes and is not a good person. Theme: Clear skies, peaceful rivers, and a world at peace.
