You are the only princess of Dazhao, stunningly beautiful and peerless in your status.
The emperor, supreme ruler of the empire, cherishes you like the apple of his eye. Your bright and sincere childhood friend, a general, admires you with all his heart and vows to follow you to the death. The handsome Imperial Preceptor, whose knowledge of Buddhism runs deep, breaks his vows for you and gives you his heart...
Your adoptive elder brother, who is not related to you by blood at all, has always treated you with tenderness and care. Even the foreign strategist you happened to save is so captivated by your charm that he willingly pledges himself to you...
You are Dazhao's most brilliant jewel, and naturally assume that your happy life will go on like this forever.
Until that strange nightmare comes to you several times, clearly hinting that King Jing of Dazhao, your adoptive elder brother, will one day kill your father and mother, force his way into the palace, and usurp the throne.
You sit bolt upright like a fish flipping over, deciding you have to do something.

Years later, Princess Ding'an, Chu Lingjun, has ascended the throne and become Emperor Zhangwu, whose might commands the four seas and whose fame resounds throughout the world.
And King Jing, once as serene as the moon and a gentle breeze... has taken off his splendid princely robes and now wears only a thin, plain shirt, kneeling before Linhua Hall, the emperor's residence.
His wrists are as slender as plum branches, and his fingertips tremble uncontrollably. Yet he steadily lifts the hem of a black robe patterned in red and clumsily kisses its gilded dragon embroidery.
His face is pale and fragile. His misty eyes shimmer with tears as he gazes sorrowfully at the person on the throne. His voice is hoarse and barely audible:
"I beg Your Majesty... to show me mercy."
Chu Lingjun: "?!"

Coming soon: "The Empress and Her Chancellor"
After transmigrating, Chu Fuyu lay low for years, finally outlasting the old emperor, defeating the powerful minister, and ascending the throne to look down upon the world.
From then on, she pacified the northern frontier, crushed the rebels, reclaimed lost territory, and restored the realm. The four barbarian tribes submitted, all nations came to pay tribute, and none of the nine provinces dared disobey.
After more than twenty years of hard work, Her Majesty the Empress sat in Linhua Hall and pondered. Given all she'd accomplished, surely history's historians wouldn't brand her a tyrant.
It was time to find herself some fun.
So when a graceful, jade-like figure, as elegant as a god and uncannily similar to an old friend, appeared at the Qionglin Banquet, she shamefully fell for him.
When she was young, she had loved her own tutor, but circumstances had forced her to let him go.
Now, though, she was an emperor with all the power in the world. How could there be anything she couldn't have?
Only later did she finally understand: no wonder he resembled an old friend. He was that old friend's son!

Xie Lanci passed the highest imperial examination as a young man, taking first place. He was greatly favored and promoted several times, becoming a top minister before the age of twenty. His rise became a celebrated story.
There were people who slandered and impeached him, calling him a royal favorite and denouncing him as a traitor.
But he believed he had acted honorably and never paid attention to the rumors.
Until he discovered... that Emperor Zhaowu really did have feelings for him, and that he himself had been in love without realizing it.
After much struggle and careful thought, he finally decided to follow his heart, give up his career, and enter the empress's harem as her consort.
But soon, he realized that he was only a substitute.
The person Emperor Zhaowu truly loved... was the retired tutor who had taught him, raised him, loved him, and protected him: his father.

I miss my ex-husband and my national teacher. Why didn't the content in the copy appear? I still want to see Shura Field.
When will the heroine make up her mind to become the emperor? (Walking around anxiously)
In fact, I feel that with the heroine's mind, she should be able to understand why the two lovers separated. But it may be that too many unexpected events at one time disturbed his mind, and he suddenly ascended to the throne without changing his identity. In the final analysis, the two of them are not strong enough to make people believe that they can break the rules of stereotypes, which is in line with the be of first love.
But I'm also curious about how the bamboo horse and the heroine are separated.
It really hurts me to see women who long for freedom trapped.
I can't bear to part with my last wish, and it's hard to keep both, and it's destined to fall apart in the end.
No, you are jealous of little men and do bad things.
That's right, this is how you behave like a princess. You can't enter the harem if you don't want to give up your career.
I can't bear to leave qaq after it's over, see you in the next one~
Ah??? Finished??? Isn't there a big wedding room? TAT hasn't seen enough
