My Father the Emperor Is Getting Old

Mu Jinjin was named that because her parents said she lacked water in her Five Elements chart.

And because the emperor lacked water in his Five Elements chart, she was made a palace consort.

At first, she thought she'd spend her whole life tied to the old emperor. Who could have guessed he would die?

With fortune on her side, she casually chose an easy-to-control son and became the Empress Dowager, ruling from behind the curtain.

What was it like to rule from behind the curtain, wield absolute power, and have handsome lovers all around her?

Late at night, she gently wiped the late emperor's memorial tablet.

"Good thing you died early."

Li Woyu was a mixed-blood foreigner.

He had always known exactly what he was. He'd thought he would rot away in this man-eating palace, but then he met her. His mother, a delicate woman, protected him and loved him.

But Mother, do you know that if you love me, you have to love me for the rest of your life?

Mu Jinjin watched helplessly as the boy she'd raised knelt at her feet, looking up at her with tears streaming down his face.

"Mother, did Father ever make you feel this good?"

"Did any of those lovers ever care for you as attentively as I do?"

He inched forward on his knees, yet with every move he pressed her harder and harder.

"Jinjin, touch me... It feels so good."

"Sh-shut up! You little rebe..." Mu Jinjin felt her mind grow hazy, unable to tell moonlight from shadow.

1. They are not blood-related, and she is twelve years older: an older sister and her wolf cub.

2. Both are adults when they fall in love.

3. The female lead is not a virgin. There will be the late emperor (a handsome uncle), the regent, and even other lovers, making the wolf cub even more jealous.

4. To be added.
