When Zhao Xiaofeng was young, he was the notorious Fifth Prince of the capital, a carefree playboy. He traveled across the land, experiencing the customs of every region and meeting all kinds of people.
Yet even a golden-scaled fish can become a dragon when the winds and clouds gather. After the Crown Prince was deposed, the brothers turned against one another, and Zhao Xiaofeng was swept into the struggle for the throne. In the end, he took his place upon the imperial throne.
After twenty years of diligent rule, the love and hatred of his youth had gradually faded into the past.
The Empress, who had been by his side for years, died of illness. His mediocre Crown Prince had never been close to him, and Zhao Xiaofeng was weary to the very core of being emperor.
He leaned back on the broad dragon throne in the imperial study, propping his head up with one hand. As he breathed in the scent of dragon's-breath incense, his other hand tapped idly against the throne. Before long, he drifted off to sleep.
In his dream, he was still that carefree, spirited young man.
One-on-one romance + male lead's perspective + plenty of supporting-character storylines. The male lead travels around the country early on, and after marriage, the two leads travel together. They have only one child, a son.
