The Empress Dowager Sent Away for a Political Marriage

A princess by birth, she has no choice but to marry an aging king of another country as his queen in a political marriage. On the way there, she learns that the king has died. From then on, her youth is locked away in the imperial palace. She enjoys the status of Empress Dowager, but in the end, it cannot overcome her loneliness. By chance, she meets the young emperor, and a tangled tale of love and hate begins.

He is heaven's favored son. When he learns that he has a young Empress Dowager, he assumes the palace will have to keep another idle person. But this idle person doesn't seem idle at all. One banquet after another, with flowers, beauties, and bamboo orchids, gives him a headache. Yet when he discovers that she loves a lively crowd only because she is so lonely, his heart can't help but turn sour. From then on, among three thousand rivers, he will drink from just one cup. Whether or not someone else is in your heart, from now on, I am the only one who can live there.
