(Stockpiling chapters, thanks for your support ^^)
King Yan has a harem full of beauties and spends his days choosing his favorites. Two years pass, but he still has no children. He falls ill from exhaustion and goes months without attending court.
The ministers worry that the kingdom has no heir, and jointly submit a petition asking for a ceremony to pray to the Goddess Who Bestows Children and the Buddha for an heir.
King Yan approves the petition, and soon a child is born in the imperial harem.
The entire kingdom of Yan celebrates, but no one knows that the shy, veiled empress who gave birth to the crown prince leans over King Yan late at night and coaxes him, "You're still recovering from childbirth, and you're weak. I'll just give you a kiss to satisfy myself."
King Yan blushes, his beautiful eyes full of hatred. "Qin Shuo, I'm going to kill you!"
Qin Shuo, the new ruler of Qin, is decisive and ruthless. Five years after taking the throne, he has conquered the neighboring great powers and declared himself emperor.
Yan Ziqing is already prepared to be invaded, but Qin Shuo unexpectedly enters his bedchamber alone to provoke him.
They fight for over a hundred rounds. Qin Shuo's yang-person rut begins, and Yan Ziqing is overjoyed, hoping to capture him while he's weak. But Qin Shuo attacks ferociously during his rut, and Yan Ziqing is no match for him. Qin Shuo pins him to the imperial bed for the entire night.
That night, Yan Ziqing has just ascended the throne.
From then on, whenever Yan Ziqing chooses someone from the imperial harem, Qin Shuo always shows up.
The two of them wear out every bed in the harem, until Yan Ziqing's body begins to give off a strange fragrance, marking him as a yin-person, the perfect match for a yang-person.
From then on, Yan Ziqing claims to be ill and receives ministers in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Qin Shuo wears a thin veil and a concubine's brocade robes as he attends to him.
Several times, Yan Ziqing grits his teeth and tries to have him dragged out and executed, only to be interrupted by sudden bouts of nausea.
"You can kill me after the heir is born. Don't upset yourself in your condition."
Qin Shuo's coy, high-pitched voice makes Yan Ziqing so furious that he nearly goes into labor early.
Qin Shuo rarely gives in, but he stops harassing him. Yet when Yan Ziqing is terrified after spotting blood, Qin Shuo comes back. Somehow, he's learned the art of delivering babies.
When the crown prince turns one month old, Qin sends ten cities to celebrate.
A year later, just as Yan Ziqing is starting to think he hasn't lost out too badly, Qin invades.
Qin's envoy presents box after box of rare treasures and dozens of cities, proposing a marriage alliance to end the war.
Yan Ziqing draws his sword and thrusts it toward Qin Shuo, who is disguised as the envoy. Just as he's about to take Qin Shuo's head, a sudden bout of nausea ruins his chance.
Yan Ziqing retches until he nearly faints.
At his side, Qin Shuo cries out in panic, "I'll marry into your family! Isn't that good enough?"
