[Main story complete]
[Next up: "The Empress Marries Again"]
After ascending the throne, the first prisoner Chi Yun dealt with was Wen Xi, the Grand Tutor's daughter.
His elder brother had been gravely injured because of her and was unconscious, yet she could calmly prepare to marry someone else.
Clearly, she had no heart.
Chi Yun felt his brother had been wronged, so he forced Wen Xi to kneel before his brother's sickbed and repent day and night.
He had told his brother long ago that Wen Xi was no good and would betray them for her own benefit, but his brother had refused to listen.
Yet no matter how Chi Yun retaliated, Wen Xi remained gentle and mild, never losing her temper.
Chi Yun thought Wen Xi was the kind of person who hid a blade behind a smile. He never imagined that one day he would follow in his brother's footsteps.
*
Wen Xi knew that her only chance of survival in the hands of the new emperor, Chi Yun, was to endure.
The Chi clan had held power for centuries, ambitious and commanding its own army. The second young master, Chi Yun, had shown exceptional talent for strategy and political maneuvering since he was young. He was ruthless and cold, and the only person he treated differently was his elder brother.
Wen Xi was waiting for Chi Yun's brother to wake up and clear up the misunderstanding, so she could leave!
But when his brother woke and hurried to the palace, intending to bring back the woman he loved...
Chi Yun blocked Wen Xi in her bedchamber and, unable to control himself, kissed her. "Go tell him you don't love him anymore."
A pure-hate, enemies-to-lovers couple + the inevitable realization that you love them after all.
Coming soon
Historical romance coming soon: "The Empress Marries Again":
In the third year of doting on Su Yao, the emperor finally remembered that the person he loved was Su Yao's older sister.
That woman was cool and proud. She would rather send her younger sister into the palace than stay by the side of a man who had forgotten her.
When the emperor looked at Su Yao again, the last trace of affection in his eyes had been swept away.
"I will send you out of the palace and give you a new identity."
Naturally timid and weak, Su Yao was still begging the emperor to remember their past.
The emperor sighed softly. "You only look like her."
That was the only reason she had won his unconscious favor.
Su Yao could not stay in the capital and offend her older sister, so the emperor bestowed her upon a young court official who had been demoted and exiled, sending her far away to the frontier.
On the day she left the city, drums and gongs rang out as a lavish bridal procession stretched for miles, celebrating the new empress's entry into the palace.
Su Yao held a small bundle and rode away in a swaying carriage, leaving quietly behind.
Standing on the city tower with his hands behind his back, the emperor gazed into the distance. He never imagined there would come a day when they met again.
The following spring, the emperor personally went to the frontier to oversee the army.
The people lined the road to welcome him, packed shoulder to shoulder. He happened to glimpse Su Yao in the crowd, holding a child and trying to get away from the commotion.
Her appearance was unchanged. Bare-faced, with clear, bright eyes.
The baby in her arms looked a little like him.
"Is it mine?"
When the guards brought Su Yao into the imperial tent, the emperor looked up calmly and asked just that.
Su Yao frowned and hugged the baby closer. Before she could explain, a man requested an audience.
"Your Majesty, the child is mine."
The young official who had been demoted back then had become a powerful commander on the frontier.
The emperor watched the two look at each other and smiled faintly, appearing carefree. Only he knew the ache in his heart.
He had wavered. He had wavered long ago. Otherwise, he would not have come in person to see whether she was doing well.

Moya turns out to be the plus version of Wei Juan, and I didn't like her before.
This Wei, hurry up and go offline [show your hands]
The hero saves the beauty and sacrifices his life to feed the bears. Can Xixi still insist on leaving? 🍉
Before this chapter, I thought the lead actor and the heroine were a good match. After reading this chapter, I can only say that the lead actor loves the side of the heroine that she has only shown in front of him since she was a child. He has not deeply noticed the true character of the heroine. He can only say that even if they are together, they will break up [covering face and laughing]
This despicable guy, he doesn't deserve to be the male lead. The author should let the second male lead take the lead. What a bullshit male lead. He's a vicious villain.
The younger brother is fighting against the five scum, the elder brother wakes up quickly, the Shura field can't survive without you!
Ahhhhhh. Who is the driver? Oh my god, it's so off-putting. I'm a bit uncomfortable with the male protagonist being dropped so suddenly. Hahaha, I still like the scene where she runs away from him and chases her, but she has no wings to fly. Maybe let go in order to meet again, don't let it go for too long. Otherwise I'm afraid I'll stop chasing, hahaha. Lots of updates. 💪
Even if the road to freedom is full of thorns, we will move forward bravely. Come on, Xixi!
Nice! The teacher's writing is very good. [Orange Candy] I've eaten [Purple Candy] kswl🥺😍😚
Looking forward to more updates today🌸
