Longing for Your Embrace

Nan Yu had just turned twenty when she became empress dowager.

With her young son still a child and the nation in decline, she desperately needed a powerful man to back her up. Xiao Yiquan, a courtier who pulled strings throughout the court, beckoned her with a finger. "Little Empress Dowager, what do you think of me?"

Nan Yu lifted her peerlessly beautiful face and knelt at the man's boots. "If I'm good, will you give me anything I want?"

Later, she really was good, so good that she repaid every humiliation she had suffered in her previous life, so good that she kicked Xiao Yiquan off the city wall!

By then, the man, who had been worn down into a lovesick puppy, was covered in blood, yet still tried to please her by kissing the tip of her toe. "Yu'er, don't be difficult."

I long to soar into the blue sky, but all he wants is the fragrance of my bedchamber.
