The Phoenix Empress of the Cold Palace

When she married him, his harem was filled with beautiful women.

On their wedding day, in the Golden Hall, he flirted and laughed with his favorite concubine, completely ignoring how awkward she felt kneeling alone before them.

On their wedding night, he spent the night with another consort, leaving her alone in an empty room.

He married her to fulfill his ancestors' wishes. She married him to secure her family's future.

He was cold, she was detached. He was beguiling, she was proud. Their personalities were a good match, but they were headed in opposite directions.

Their conflicting interests forced him to use her, but little by little, he lost his heart and fell in love. She, however, remained as calm as the breeze, like a proud plum blossom standing alone in the winter cold. She was strong-willed and never once yielded.
