When Bian Lehe died, the autumn wind was bleak.
The golden leaves drifting down became his burial shroud, far more dazzling than all the gold, silver, and jade treasures around him.
He was remarkably at peace with death. Born to a mother who died shortly after giving birth, unloved by his father, he had stumbled through life only to learn that the man was his mother’s murderer. His only regret was probably that he had never managed to take revenge himself.
But all that was in the past.
Bian Lehe died peacefully, then... was angered awake.
Which bastard started the rumor that he died in Prince Wei’s bed?! And that he was Prince Wei’s one true love, the moonlight in his heart? He’d never even met that stupid warrior, for heaven’s sake!

Coming soon: After the Moonlight Marries the Rebel Ruler
Huai Yangxu’s father and elder brother died on the battlefield after earning great military honors. He and the emperor had been close friends since childhood, their bond exceptionally deep.
Until one day, the emperor told him that he had feelings for him.
Huai Yangxu turned him down. The usually cold and ruthless emperor never brought it up again. More than a year passed, and Huai Yangxu died during the autumn hunt.
When he opened his eyes again, the country was beset by war, and his only younger sister had donned armor and was fighting on the front lines.
His soul drifted by his sister’s side. He saw the enemy commander repeatedly claim to be avenging him, yet unhesitatingly cut off his sister’s head and hung it on the city wall.
Huai Yangxu went mad trying to protect his sister, but he could never cross the boundary between the living and the dead.
And... he could not see his sister’s soul.
In a daze, he heard that the rebel army had reached the capital.
The man who had sheltered him his entire life opened the city gates, then vanished without a trace.
When Huai Yangxu finally found him, the man was ordering someone to open a coffin. He swallowed a pill, then lay down fully clothed beside the long-rotted remains of Huai Yangxu’s body.
The final words Murong Shao left behind were: “The rebellion is the rebels’ fault, yet in all my life, I have cared for only one person. I bestow the throne upon him, and only hope the people of this land may live in peace.”
