Chinese Historical Romance Court Politics

Upon the late emperor's passing, the throne was left to Fuwei, who was entrusted to the care of Changce Marquis Yan Xiangru and two other high ministers to assist the young monarch and participate in state affairs. After years of painstaking cultivation and eliminating political rivals, Yan Xiangru stood supreme in the imperial court. Having been tutored by Yan Xiangru since childhood, the female emperor Fuwei was initially docile and obedient. However, as she gradually grew up, she became dissatisfied with the chancellor's monopoly on power and began plotting to wrest it back. According to the traditions of the Wuyin dynasty, the emperor marries at sixteen and assumes personal rule upon marriage. Fuwei hoped to use this opportunity to force Yan Xiangru to return power.

The grand tutor asked the female emperor: The chancellor slights you, mocks you, avoids you, and reviles you. How should you deal with him?

The female emperor replied: Just endure him, frighten him, tease him, pursue him, and seduce him. Give it a few years, and just look at him—he will settle down with you and raise your children.

Amid palace intrigues, he was her foremost faith.

Amid court struggles, he was her ultimate adversary.

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.

During the Great Kalpa of Longhan, Shaocang followed his master’s order to suppress the three great Pangu races. The Qilin priest Lanyin fought Shaocang with all her might but was defeated. Her corpse was suspended from a mast for ten thousand years. Before her death, she cursed Shaocang to grow old in eternal solitude.

After the Great Kalpa of Wuliang, Shaocang succeeded as the Heavenly Emperor. A solitary man devoid of the six desires, only the current life of Changqing can resolve this predicament…

Shaocang: “Under this magnificent Heavenly Dao, I can be ruthless toward anyone, but toward you alone, I have exhausted all my strength. If you do not love me, there is nothing I can do; however, as the Heavenly Emperor, I must obtain what I desire. Who says twisted fruit is not sweet? As long as you are by my side, I am happy. Everyone advises me to let things take their natural course, but I refuse! I want you, even if you fall into the demonic path, even if it means becoming enemies with the entire world, I will never give up on you!”

Changqing: “Shaocang, is there anything you cannot do? Your so-called love is entirely self-centered. As long as you can achieve your goals, you will use any means necessary—all because this Heavenly Dao is entirely in your hands!

Please remember my words, Your Majesty: it is impossible for me to ever reconcile with you. I could not in my past life, and I cannot in this one. Please keep your deep affection to yourself; I do not need a person who exposed my corpse for ten thousand years to speak of love to me. You should return to your Biyun Celestial Palace and continue being your Heavenly Emperor.”
