The emperor thought it was heaven's compensation to him when he met Lin Yao'er. He doted on her and loved her, giving her everything best in the world. Even so, the lie he had tried so hard to keep would eventually be exposed.
The promise they made in their youth could no longer be fulfilled. Just when Lin Yao'er felt that nothing could ever stir her heart again, he appeared, mature and steady. Falling in love with him seemed like the most natural thing in the world. She entered the palace as a consort and received the emperor's boundless favor, yet she could not earn his trust.
After completing one last mission, Zhao Junxi would receive the emperor's decree to marry his childhood sweetheart. He never imagined that when he returned in triumph, she would have become the emperor's consort and lost every memory of him.
"I beg you, spare Brother Junxi."
"You'd kneel and beg me for his sake. Would you be willing to die in his place?"
"One day, you'll regret treating her this way!"
Premise: It's not that no one loves you. They just haven't come along yet.
