[A master strategist of a tyrant VS a frail, gifted woman]
I won’t fall in love with His Majesty. I’ll only help him build his empire.
His Majesty: Hmm? Say that again.
Yan Ning: …
These days, as long as you seize an opportunity and find a way in, you can realize your ambitions and get what you want. But what do you do when the most powerful and exalted man in the world sets his sights on you…
She asks, “What does Your Majesty intend to do?”
He replies, “Once you become my empress, you’ll remain my empress for life.”
She smiles. “Didn’t Your Majesty say my ambitions were too wild?”
He answers with a straight face, “Precisely because your ambitions are too wild, I can’t let you go and cause trouble for anyone else. I alone can put up with you.”
“…” Who said I wanted you to put up with me?
She loves mountains and rivers, not you.
You have no self-awareness at all.
Later…
Yan Ning looks at the children, drenched in sweat from playing in the imperial garden… and silently gazes up at the sky.
