[Overbearing, aloof Emperor Gu Yuan × Wise, gentle Empress Bo Nuan]
Prince of Liang Gu Yuan was a capricious man, long disliked by his father, the emperor. They say his rise to power began when he married the young daughter of the powerful Bo clan, who had been living away from home. The Grand Astrologer had once told Chancellor Bo, “This girl has the bearing of nobility. She will assist the Son of Heaven and accomplish great things.” When the court was turned upside down, no one would remember that she had once been his maid, and that she had also been the person in the world who understood him best and protected him most. He was a traveler who feared the abyss before him; she was the warmth in the deepest reaches of his dark abyss.
“Empress, come a little closer.”
“Though this world is as cold as an endless night, with you by my side, it will never be cold.”
