"But we could not love him.We as the Emperor must love all the land under heaven, all the commoners, and never just one person.The love of the Emperor must be evenly distributed like the rain dew, life water essential to commoners' lives. There must not be a weakness, there must not be an exception."

Synopsis

Ji Yue, the King of Qin, was a tyrant whose name itself can bring fear to anyone in the seven lands, but there was a charming yet frail person with beautiful features, who dared to act like a tyrant before him.The young monarch gazed at the youth who had a type of beauty that could excite any man, and at the cold dagger inches from his neck, then hearing the words that were cold enough to freeze.“Wei Lian, do you want to rebel?”Wei Lian smiled and intimately rubbed his finger against the speaker’s lips. “If you treat me well, I’ll be your Shijun. If you treat me badly, then I will commit regicide.”—We present this as a betrothal gift, would Your Majesty consider it?—An empire as a betrothal gift.(Translated by: @teo_turtle)

MC | Shou
Courtesy Name: Yuzhi

· Chu Empire's 7th prince· A beauty that no one in the seven empires can compete.· He was sent to the Qin Empire as tribute and act of submission.· Known for his gentle and kind presence but is secretly cunning, calculative, thinks ahead of his time, and can protect himself from any harm (even commit regicide).· Acts coquettish towards Ji Yue to curry favor for his own plan.

Ji Yue

ML | Gong
Courtesy Name: Yungui

· Emperor of Qin at the early age of 9· "The man who brought calamity to the empire."· A ruthless warlord, calculative strategist, and an ambitious tyrant emperor.· Never succumbed to any self-indulgences, but Wei Lian was his only exception.· He is more afraid to take Wei Lian to bed and hurt him than go fight for blood in war.

They both have lingering doubts in their minds, clouding their ability to figure out whether the other reciprocates their feelings.

.

· You will see how they go from being cautious at night for fear that the other might stab them, to straying from their separate original plans, gradually discovering how to be true to their emotions, and developing trust with each other.· With Ji Yue's nature, he is 100% aware that he is wrapped around Wei Lian's finger, but he still obeys his husband and ONLY his husband.· Wei Lian might look fragile, but he is not someone to be messed with even without the backing of Ji Yue.· They both struggle to communicate their feelings properly, so be prepared for misunderstandings and lack of trust.· They have a thing for roleplaying and 'gege' ( ͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡ °)· The story not only revolves around the two of them. There is light court/political drama as well as arcs with their own mysterious storylines (modern influence) encountered by the couple featuring different side characters. It show how cruel humans can be when faced with vulnerability as well as the struggle of those with dual personalities.· Don't be intimidated, this story also consists of comedic relief from the shameless couple, fujoshi side characters, Wei Lian's sarcasm and internal dialogue, etc.
