From birth, he was fated to be a star of ill omen, bringing misfortune to his family. He was cruel and brutal, destined to be lonely and alone for life.
At the age of three, he brought about his birth mother’s death. His black eyes turned blue overnight, shocking the entire kingdom. People regarded him as a monster.
At six, he brought about his elder brother’s death. The emperor was enraged and imprisoned him deep within the palace.
At seven, he brought about his younger brother’s death. The emperor expelled him from the palace, and he lived in seclusion.
At ten, when the emperor fell gravely ill, he suspected the boy had brought him bad luck and sent him to a barren wasteland, never to return to court.
At eighteen, the emperor died. He led his army to storm the palace. Three uncles and cousins died, two were wounded, and he trampled over their bloodied corpses to claim the Dragon Throne.
He was the most legendary emperor in the history of the Dirong Kingdom.
He was a ruthless, brutal emperor who cared nothing for his family and excelled at war.
He was an emperor whose wrath could leave thousands dead and rivers of blood flowing.
The Imperial Astrologer foretold that he was a star of ill omen, destined to be alone and unloved for all his life.
Until one day, while sneaking into Great Yan, he met a woman he should not have kept running into: Pei Ruiyi, the celebrated beauty of Yandu and a young lady of the Marquis of Shun'an’s household.
Even someone as cold, hard-hearted, and dismissive as him could not resist fate once he stepped onto its wheel. All he could do was let it carry him along.
The young ladies of the Marquis of Shun'an’s household were all renowned for their beauty, and Ninth Miss Ruiyi was especially famous, dazzling the entire capital.
As a concubine-born daughter being kept on the shelf for a profitable political marriage, Pei Ruiyi was determined to secure a bright future for herself.
At their first meeting, she gave him a huge pearl. Confused, he asked what it meant.
She said, “Your Highness is blind to the obvious, so I’m giving you an eye!”
At their second meeting, she threw her arms around him. He was furious and demanded an explanation.
She said, “A beauty has thrown herself into your arms. You should feel honored!”
At their third meeting, she used her beauty to steal his first kiss. He saw her as a wild beast and avoided her like the plague.
She said, “Your Highness, stop fooling around and hurry up and marry me!”
In the end, he married someone else instead of bringing her home, while she was betrothed to another and waited to become a bride.
Many years later, remembering those days, he wept into his pillow. “If I could turn back time, I would offer you my empire as the betrothal gift and the world as your wedding present, and bring you home.”
Pei Ruiyi only smiled faintly. “Too bad there are no ifs in life!”
