In one of the rural villages of the "Xuan Li" Kingdom, lived a simple girl named Lily. Her life was peaceful among the fields and flowers, but her heart always longed for more - a destiny far greater than the soil she toiled. In the same kingdom, within the golden halls of the palace, sat the young emperor, Huang. Surrounded by concubines, his heart remained untouched. Behind the palace walls, danger lurked. General Yunhan, a ruthless and ambitious military leader, quietly plotted to overthrow the throne and take the empire for himself. Meanwhile, Su Su - the official empress - watched the emperor with eyes burning with envy. She loved him madly, yet to him, she was nothing more than an irritating shadow, a wife forced upon him by duty, not chosen by his heart. And with the sudden appearance of a girl named "Lily"... the flames of jealousy began to rise. As Yunhan, who once craved only the scent of blood, found himself drawn to something else - Lily, the girl he brought into the imperial palace - a new story began. A forbidden tale of love. Or perhaps... a lovers' quarrel. A chaotic romance between the emperor and a mere maid. © Nattivtae 2025. All rights reserved. No copying or reposting without the author's permission
