The Forbidden Chamber 禁庭
There is a beauty in Jian’an City, whose delicate fairness and radiant charm are unmatched by anyone.
That year, the realm was divided into three, with the Yue State standing supreme. Empress Dowager Guo of the Sui State overrode all dissenting opinions to bring back her daughter, who had been lost among the common people, conferring upon her the title of Grand Princess. She dispatched ten senior generals and a hundred men of the Jinwu guards to accompany her on a distant journey to the Yue State for a political marriage.
Judging from the secret letters sent back by the spies, the temperament of the Emperor of Yue could truly be described as unfathomable. Having ascended the throne for three years, he had neither established an empress nor favored any imperial concubine. Cold, taciturn, and disgusted by the touch of others, he also possessed a nearly morbid obsession: everything in his living quarters had to be arranged exactly as it originally was, without allowing a single fraction of a change.
Marrying such a man, Nonghua held the resolve of facing death unflinchingly.
When they met within the forbidden court, he glanced at her emotionless.
On their wedding night, he reached out his hand to push her arm away from his. After pushing it away, his fingers wiped repeatedly over the surface of the quilt.
…
A single forbidden court traps two people.
Is it love? Is it defense?
One can calculate all schemes, but not the destiny disk.
