What if a man is cruel and heartless, scheming at every turn, surrounded by three thousand beauties in his harem, and more beautiful than you... Would you love him? What if he has treated you terribly, but also been very, very good to you? Would you still love him?
She is the unluckiest and most talentless heroine in history, and all she wants is to get by peacefully in the palace gardens. But even after she has holed up beside the Cold Palace, how has she still failed to escape the “wolf”? What do you do when the emperor shows up? Watch me smear mud all over my face!
He is an emperor who treats himself and others with equal ruthlessness, using the empire as his game board. The realm is in turmoil, and schemes clash at every turn. A ruler’s love can be so deep it turns cold and indifferent. It is the sweetest poison in the world, and the only thing I can give you.
It turns out I endured so much hardship and suffering only so I could meet you. It turns out you have always been by my side.
