The Making of a Young Emperor and Empress

Blurb:

When Rong Zan was four, she was told that she would become the Crown Princess one day, and that her future husband would be her older brother Meng Ji, who had recently started coming over to play with her.

Years later, the Great Zhou enjoys peace across its lands, with envoys arriving from every direction. The stern-faced young emperor sits high upon his throne, issuing commands and shaping the realm. Even the Rong-Di, a thousand miles away, tremble at his name. But when he returns to his chambers, the empress catches him after he draws her eyebrows crooked and paints his face in retaliation. The two chase each other around the bed, fighting.

The palace attendants silently turn away.

What can they do? Though they have been an "old married couple" bickering for over ten years, one is seventeen and the other eighteen. They are still just two kids who blush at the thought of having to sleep in the same bed that night.

* No harem. The young emperor and empress govern the country together.

* The story begins when they are children. A growing-up story with warm, everyday moments.

* The romance begins after they turn sixteen. No time-skipping cheat.
