Veil Of The Forsaken Consort

In the grand silence of the imperial palace, Lin Xie Ying has always loved alone.

Gentle, soft-spoken, and breathtakingly beautiful, he devoted his entire world to Emperor Wei Zhang Li, a man who never once returned his affection. For years, Xie Ying waited like a quiet candle in the emperor's shadow, offering warmth to someone who looked through him as though he were made of mist.

Until one false accusation shattered everything.

Whipped, humiliated, and discarded without a question, Xie Ying finally breaks the chains of his own devotion. With a single vow, cold and resolute. He promises never to love the emperor again, not in this life nor the next.

But when Xie Ying withdraws his gaze, when he stops seeking the emperor, when he walks through the palace with calm indifference instead of soft smiles...

The man who once could not stand the sight of him begins to crumble.

Emperor Wei Zhang Li finds himself haunted by the absence he never valued, disturbed by silence he once demanded, and tormented by jealousy he has no right to feel. Every time Xie Ying turns his back, a new fracture forms in the emperor's iron heart.

Xiquan, a concubine who has long admired Xie Ying. Steps gently into the emptiness the emperor created, the palace becomes a battlefield of unspoken affection, quiet longing, and dangerous, blooming jealousy.

In a world where love is a luxury, power is a weapon, and hearts are currency. A once-forgotten consort becomes the center of an emotional storm that could tear the imperial court apart.
