Your Majesty Always Wants Me to Be Empress

Shen Qingyin was the awkwardly situated eldest daughter of the Guangping Marquis household. After her mother died, her father immediately married her mother's younger sister and acknowledged another daughter, only two years younger than Shen Qingyin. Within just a few months, five-year-old Shen Qingyin was sent away to a country estate under the pretext of poor health, to recuperate. More than a decade later, she returned to the capital, only to serve as a scapegoat for her younger sister. Half a month after returning to the capital, she began having nightmares every night, witnessing her own miserable life unfold, and... her sister and the Guangping Marquis household climbing to high positions at her expense. When she came to her senses, she realized she was no longer the timid Crown Prince's concubine from her dreams. Her sister wasn't truly innocent and carefree, either. Now that she knew her fate, Shen Qingyin decided to stay away from the palace and the despicable Crown Prince, and keep a low profile. Who could have guessed... She avoided the Crown Prince, only to fall into the hands of someone even more dangerous?! “Qingqing, from now on, you shall be my empress.” The supreme ruler, who had always been indifferent to women, gazed at her tenderly as he held the imperial seal. The former Crown Prince, who had once made her wake from her dreams time and again, knelt before her in resentment and paid his respects, calling her Empress Dowager. Shen Qingyin was dazed. Had her fate... strayed a little too far from the path? PS: Content warnings: ① The male lead isn't a virgin and has a son, who is even older than the female lead, but the romance between the leads is guaranteed to be faithful on both sides. ② There's a huge age gap of 19 years. Guaranteed sweet romance, with no angst.
