【Palace intrigue + fluffy companions + hearing inner thoughts + regretful pursuit of a wife + emperor and empress】
Yun Shuwan worked herself to the bone helping the useless emperor seize the throne. She purged his political enemies and devoted herself to the task, only to end up forbidden from interfering in the affairs of the court.
The useless emperor even called her crude all the time, comparing her to that scheming Noble Consort!
Yun Shuwan was furious.
Once the palace gates closed, she stopped caring about anything and waited for the right moment to fake her death, escape, and head south.
The south was wonderful.
Beautiful mountains, clear waters, and lovely scenery. Best of all, she could find herself a handsome young man. Wouldn’t that be much better than the useless emperor?
Yun Shuwan happily counted down the days on her fingers.
Until she picked up a dog.
Feeling sorry for the little thing, Yun Shuwan took it in and gave it the best food and care. But ever since she started keeping the dog, the emperor began visiting her palace more often.
One day, the emperor even clasped her hand tenderly and said, “Wanwan, I misunderstood you before.”
Yun Shuwan: What the hell…
Why?
Could it be that like attracts like?
Yun Shuwan regretted it so much. She should never have picked up that dog!
-
After Xiao Jingyuan turned into a dog, he successfully overheard Yun Shuwan’s escape plan.
What’s a husband to do when his wife wants to run away?
Xiao Jingyuan kept pretending to be sweet and obedient, begging to be petted with his fluffy little body, while secretly picking out where they would be buried together.
There was no way he’d let Yun Shuwan go, even if he had to stay a dog for the rest of his life.
This setting is really nice, and the male and female protagonists have a great sense of tension.
