Wanyun was the least noticeable junior female official serving at the emperor's side.
Or so you'd think, but somehow the emperor was always finding fault with her.
Her master was eccentric and difficult to please. It seemed his eyes were on her every day, just waiting for her to slip up.
Fortunately, she could let out all her pent-up frustration at night.
The emperor often appeared in her dreams. There, His Majesty was limp all over, his hands bound by her, at her mercy.
Heh heh. Come on, then. Pay back old grudges and settle old scores.
Didn't you complain that I made the tea badly during the day? Have a kick.
Didn't you dock my monthly allowance yesterday? Take a couple of slaps first.
"Please..."
In her dreams, His Majesty was always begging. His eyes were hazy, his handsome face flushed. He was even more captivating than his icy, aloof self during the day.
Wanyun swallowed.
With such beauty right in front of her, who could possibly resist? She might as well strip him and pounce on the emperor...

Another night of intense dreams.
Wanyun secretly yawned as she went to her post at the emperor's side.
"Wanyun."
The emperor's deep, imposing voice came from within the hall.
She wouldn't dare act as recklessly as she did in her dreams. Bending low with her hands cupped around a freshly brewed cup of tea, she hurried inside.
She placed the tea in the emperor's hand and raised her eyes unintentionally. There was a tooth mark on his face, exactly like the one she'd bitten into him in her dream last night!
Wanyun: "!!!"
The emperor looked at the terrified little palace maid with an inscrutable smile. His beautiful phoenix eyes were full of meaning.
Reading guide:
1. One-on-one romance, both leads have only ever been with each other.
2. The emperor and heroine first meet in dreams, except that in the dreams, the heroine can leave marks on the emperor too. Heh heh...
Theme: No matter how strange you are, someone will love you.
