The Canglan Emperor's Consort

“A whip, a durian, or a washboard. Take your pick, my beloved consort.” “…” “Give your husband a smile, and I'll take whatever punishment you choose.” “…” “Say something to me, my beloved. Wherever you want me to kneel, I'll kneel.” “…” In his previous life, the aloof and dignified Emperor made one mistake: he lost the girl he loved. In this life, he sets aside his pride, humbles himself, and gives in to her every whim. He cherishes her so much that he is afraid she'll break if he holds her too tightly or melt if he holds her too close. He spoils her beyond all reason. In short, he'll do absolutely anything to win back the heart of the woman he loves. His nine guardians stare in utter disbelief. “Wasn't he supposed to be noble, domineering, powerful, cold, and heartless?” The Emperor says, “Cold, heartless, domineering, and powerful are how I treat outsiders. With the consort I treasure most… well, I can only be domineering in bed.”
