The First Female Emperor of the Nine Palaces

[New book, The Lucky Little Widow of the 1980s, now underway.]

[One-on-one romance, devoted to sweet love for a hundred years]

[Overpowered, decisive professional empress VS frail, calculating professional pretty boy (blushing)]

A top Thunder-element ability user from the apocalypse dies in a self-detonation and is reborn as the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The empress ascends the throne at nine, but just as she is about to come of age and rule in her own right, the Empress Dowager, who governs from behind the curtain, drowns her.

When soul and body merge perfectly, she is determined to turn the continent upside down and make her phoenix cry resound through the heavens.

He is a man of unparalleled cunning who lives in seclusion. Frail and sickly since childhood, he has always been accompanied by medicinal brews. Indifferent to fame and fortune, he is like a lone cloud, an immortal banished to earth.

Through a scheme worthy of three visits to the thatched cottage, he joins the empress, despite his feeble frame.

From then on, he is there as the nation rises, as it repels foreign foes, as it grows prosperous and its people thrive, and as it enters a glorious age.

And he has her.

One day, beneath a light breeze and gentle rain, with peach blossoms in full bloom, the empress sits with him under the covered walkway.

“My harem is missing someone to spend the rest of my life with. Would you marry me?”

He smiles like the clear, gentle breeze and rain outside. “No, but I can marry you.”

She is his morning and evening, his every day, and his whole life.
