The Same Breeze Blows Across a Thousand Miles
26 parts Ongoing MTL
In the 721st year of the Chu calendar, Crown Prince Zhongli Ran ascended the throne. With the Grand Empress Dowager overseeing the court, she struggled to stabilize the imperial court under the watchful eyes of power-hungry ministers. Left with no other options, the scheming officials turned their attention to the new emperor's harem.
At just eleven years old, the young emperor was forced into marriage barely a year after her coronation.
This was when Gu Siyuan arrived in the capital. Drawn by the vast collection of books in the Hongwen Library and eager to escape the prospect of an arranged marriage at home, she entered the imperial palace as the emperor's seemingly useless-yet elder-Empress.
But reality proved far different from her expectations. The little emperor would grow up one day, and even in the Empire of Chu-where female rulers were no rarity-Gu Siyuan would still have to fulfill her duties in the bedchamber.
As a child, she had taught her literature, philosophy, and the ways of the world. Never did she imagine she'd one day have to teach her this as well.
And that wasn't all-when did that "little emperor" turn into such a big bad wolf?
Gu Siyuan felt cheated. But with the young emperor so vigorous and insatiable, after a few rounds, she could hardly complain anymore.
May the winds carry us a thousand miles, and may we roam these vast lands together.
