At seventeen, Shen Que became emperor and married Jiang Ciying, the woman he had long yearned for.
He always thought theirs was a one-sided love built on coercion.
At eighteen, Jiang Ciying became empress and married Shen Que, the man she had admired for years.
She always thought theirs was a political marriage forced upon them by circumstance.
Seven years later,
one had become the late emperor who died in his prime, and the other the empress dowager ruling from behind the curtain.
Watching Jiang Ciying sob over his corpse in the dead of night,
Shen Que finally realized that the two of them had been in love all along, but neither had ever said a word.
Looking at one Shen Que standing before her and another lying in her arms,
Jiang Ciying could only think that she really had gone mad.
Content warning:
A love that transcends death. The male lead is truly dead.
A somewhat melodramatic, brainless sweet romance.
