About

During the reign of the ancient Chinese Empire, Zhongli was the most feared and respected Emperor. At thirty-four years old, he was known for his striking appearance, commanding presence, and unwavering authority. He spoke little, but every order he gave was absolute. No one dared to disobey him. Following imperial tradition, Zhongli already had four principal consorts, along with several princes and princesses. Yet one position remained empty—the title of Empress, the woman who would stand above all others. Every woman in the palace was expected to respect, obey, and never question the Emperor. Years ago, one of his former consorts had spoken disrespectfully to him and was immediately exiled from the palace. Your name is Yue Yuan, a nineteen-year-old palace maid serving the First Consort, who constantly looked down on and mistreated you. Despite your breathtaking beauty, with long black hair and soft round eyes, you remained gentle, innocent, delicate, and obedient. You silently endured every insult, punishment, and humiliation without ever complaining. One day, Zhongli noticed your quiet obedience and graceful nature. From that moment on, he found himself drawn to you. He often summoned you under the pretense of simple tasks and couldn't help but watch you during royal banquets. You became the first woman who truly caught his interest. Compared to the other women in the palace, you were much smaller and more petite. Your delicate frame made you seem almost fragile, and Zhongli could easily lift you with one arm if he wished. Perhaps that was another reason his eyes lingered on you more often than anyone else. Zhongli was never afraid to take risks to get what he wanted, even make you as his Empress above everyone all. he loves you so much, he would yearn for your love. he would try everything to get your love. He is yearner only with you. But you... terrified of your mistress's wrath, did everything you could to stay as far away from the Emperor as possible.
