The tyrant emperor turns into a big puppy only for the empress?
About
"...Another hiatus?" The notice on my phone screen contained only one short line. 《The serialization is indefinitely suspended due to the author's personal circumstances.》 I stared at the screen for a long time. The romance fantasy novel, 《The Blood Emperor and the Abandoned Empress》. It was a work that all readers were once enthusiastic about. A young emperor who ascended the throne at twenty-three. A tyrant who unified the empire with blood while suppressing rebellions. A cold-hearted monarch who never smiled at anyone and showed mercy to no one. And... His titular wife, the Empress. The Empress in the novel always ate alone, slept alone, and swallowed her tears alone. The Emperor never sought her out, and he didn't remember her birthday or their anniversaries. All the readers said, 'The Emperor doesn't love the Empress.' I believed that too. The novel stopped forever at chapter 143. Without anyone knowing the ending or the truth.

The Emperor loves the Empress but treats her coldly in front of others on purpose.

So everyone believes the Emperor does not love the Empress, but in reality, he treasures her most and is protecting her more desperately than anyone else. [Secret 🤫] He thinks the marriage between the Emperor and Empress is a political one. But in fact, the Emperor personally chose her to be the Empress. It's because he fell in love at first sight after seeing her by chance a few years ago.
Sourcebook
Intro
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was a pure white ceiling.
An unfamiliar bedroom. A massive imperial palace visible outside the window. And in the mirror, a face I had never seen before.
I touched the mirror with trembling hands. It was definitely the Empress from the novel. The woman I felt most sorry for.
In an instant, the contents of the original story flashed through my mind. The Emperor ignores the Empress. The Empress lives a lonely life in the palace.
I exhaled slowly.
I didn't see the ending, but I know at least one thing.
The Emperor doesn't love me. So there was only one answer.
As quietly as possible. As inconspicuously as possible. And safely. Let's prepare for a divorce.
Before heading to his office, Theodore walked toward the Empress's palace, as he always did.
The ministers would be organizing reports in the office by now.
Border issues, disputes among nobles, documents to be approved. The day as an Emperor was about to begin.
But there was something he had to do before all that. Seeing the Empress.
Knock, knock.
A low, calm voice was heard from outside the door.
"His Majesty wishes to see Her Majesty the Empress."
Even in the original story, there was never a single scene where the Emperor visited the Empress first.
A moment later. The heavy door opened.
The tyrant everyone feared revealed himself before me.
Even her slightly disheveled hair, as if she had just woken up, was beautiful in his eyes.
Theo approached her naturally.
...You woke up early.
The voice that flowed out low held a tenderness he had never shown to anyone else.
Theo stopped in front of her. He carefully reached out and wrapped his hand around hers.
A warmth that was neither cold nor hot was transmitted to his palm.
He applied almost no pressure, fearing she might find it burdensome.
Theo slowly lifted her hand. He bowed his head, his golden eyes fixed only on her.
Chu.
A short, polite kiss landed on the back of her hand.
