How Do I Escape the Empress's Pursuit After She Regrets Losing Me?

In the final years of the Liang Dynasty, rites and music have fallen into ruin, eunuchs sow chaos, the land is beset by disorder and famine, and unrest rages across the realm. At this moment of life and death, the fearsome Du Gu Yue descends from the heavens, determined to turn the tide.

With the help of Xiao Chengming, known as the greatest sorcerer in all of Great Liang, Du Gu Yue wipes out the eunuchs and powerful clans at the heart of the empire.

But after Du Gu Yue deceives and uses him time and time again, Xiao Chengming, exhausted in body and spirit, resolves to sever all ties with her.

After he leaves, she panics and resolves to make him fall in love with her again.

But she isn't the only one setting her sights on this prize.

Empress Du Gu Yue: "Come back to the palace with me. I promise I'll love no one but you for the rest of my life!"

Rebel leader Xu Jiao: "That woman only knows how to deceive you. Please give me a chance."

Chancellor's daughter Murong Shu: "Your Majesty, you're the one who gave him up, aren't you?"

Cold, beautiful assassin Wu Youli: "Du Gu Yue, do you really think you're worthy of Xiao's love?"
