Synopsis:
In the third year of Luo Long's marriage, her late husband came back.
Once, they had been childhood sweethearts, their love innocent and sweet.
But on their wedding day, as her entire family was sentenced to death, he abandoned her and faked his death to escape.
Now he has seized the throne and proclaimed to the world:
“I shall build a mausoleum for my late wife to comfort her soul in heaven. I swear before heaven and earth that I will never take another empress!”
The entire court is stunned, all marveling at how deeply His Majesty loved his wife.
Only Luo Long sneers inwardly.
When they meet again, he is the new emperor, and she is another man's wife.
Every time she enters the palace, the man's gaze roams over her from head to toe.
Later, he cannot hold back and pins her in his arms. “Divorce him, and I'll make you empress.”
Luo Long lifts her chin and shakes her head. “My husband treasures me like a jewel. I will never betray him in this life.”
When the arrogant new emperor learns Luo Long's identity, he panics and begs her to forgive him.
The cool and composed chief councilor stands tall, smiling as he strokes Luo Long's pregnant belly.
“Your Majesty, rather than chasing after my wife, perhaps you should check whether your throne is still secure?”
