Though young, the emperor is a master of both letters and arms, brilliant and perceptive, able to see through every evil and reward every good deed. She sits high in Mingde Hall, gazing down upon all the people under Heaven.
Everyone says the emperor is a once-in-a-generation wise ruler, destined to lead her subjects into a new golden age.
Only Jiang Tingyun knows how wicked she is. She scorns ritual and propriety, defies all convention, and forces him to betray his late wife... and serve her with his body.
Month after month, year after year, he cannot understand it. The emperor clearly likes his nephew so much, so why won't she let him go?
He is just an ordinary widower.
No longer young, not docile, and even known for bringing bad luck to his wives.
He has nothing, yet the emperor's passionate, fiery love burns all over him. At first he resists, but later he sinks into it, anxious and at a loss.

Cen Jianwei has transmigrated into a book.
Her only task is to be the male lead's golden finger, helping build up his career so that the female lead can fall in love with him as a matter of course.
But the male lead is greedy, foolish, and conceited, always blaming the world for his troubles.
The female lead is flirtatious and fickle, with male confidants everywhere.
Everything is a complete mess.
Then, one day, while out and about, she watches the male lead walk innocently toward the uncle he keeps talking about.
A gentle breeze lifts the veil from that person's face.
A delicate, pale beauty, with a graceful figure scented with dew and rosy clouds.
She has never seen anyone more beautiful.
1. The female lead has only been with women; the male lead is the one in the blurb. Aside from him, there should be lots of swoon-worthy male candidates (inserts dogeza).
2. A genuine power-imbalance romance.

Theme: Love everyone!
