Li Huiniang, an embroiderer born into poverty, is chosen to enter the palace. She struggles to climb the ranks, all the while longing for the emperor’s favor. “Now that I’m the emperor’s woman, my body and heart belong to him. I shouldn’t be quarreling with you like this... I saved you this time only because I owed you. Now we’re even... You and I were always worlds apart. From now on, let’s have nothing more to do with each other.”
The beautiful and proud Consort Su was showered with the emperor’s affection, yet wore a troubled expression all year long. Even as she lay sick in bed, all she could think of was her junior sister from years ago. “We were fellow disciples for twelve years. Whatever I had, I always saved a share for you, whether you wanted it or not. Whatever you wanted, I would do everything in my power to help you obtain... Now I don’t have much time left. I only want to ask you one thing... That winter night, beneath the plum tree, what you said... was it true?”
Zhou Yuchan was born with great strength and a simple, stubborn nature. She entered the palace in innocent ignorance, only to die on the battlefield. Since ancient times, how many have returned from war? Wrapped in a horse’s hide, her soul was buried in the yellow sands. A bloodstained letter, her voice and smile still ringing in the reader’s ears: “Enough, enough. Since I lost to you, this life is yours. I don’t expect to survive this battle. Don’t forget what you promised me for our next life!”
Wang Minjun poured a cup of weak wine. Without looking at her visitor’s expression, she smiled calmly and said, “What does any of this have to do with me? Even now, you still don’t understand? Passionate affection was all a smokescreen. That so-called kindness was just a trick I used to deceive you. What I want...” She tipped her head back and swallowed the bitter wine. “...is this vast realm!”
An alternate-world historical romance. The dynasty, palace names, official titles, consort ranks and the like are all made up without regard for accuracy.
Not a multiple-partner romance.
Where have you been? Why don't you write?
I just want to say: six years...
Author, are you still willing to fill in the holes?
I come here to look at it occasionally, but I can't bear to delete it from my collection.
I shouldn't expect updates
Damn it, I updated it but it didn't even prompt me to update.
Let's wait for the third anniversary of the update and come back to see it.
Fell into a pit - -,
Long time no see, the author. I can't find Lost in the Forest of Love and Hate. It turns out it's locked. What a pity. I've been expecting the author to come back and give a complete explanation after many years, because I still love this work very much. How are you lately? Hope all is well with you.
Author, why did you lock the forest of love and hate? I love that article very much.
