Emperor And I ✔️ by Sunset_vermont
96 parts Complete
To the country she was born to, she is Princess Le-anne, bastard child of the king. To the empire she is sold to, she is Lady Wei Li Lian... the traitorous spy. But who is she really? A beauty within her own right, all she ever wanted was a peaceful, ordinary life, maybe exploring and traveling the different lands while she was at it. But when she accidentally caught the eagle eye of her estranged royal father, he saw the potential in her and quickly made plans of his own for her. She was given a single mission: seduce the emperor of the enemy nation of Nevoria and become his empress for the betterment of her own country. Simple, right? She only had to train and excel at everything since an early age. Then once reaching the proper age, make her way through Nevorian court, all the while dodging the vipers of the harem, sending secret missives to her nation, scheming her way to the throne, etc. It was as easy as that. But why didn't anyone warn her how difficult it would be to deal with the enigmatic emperor? They can't go a single day without one triumphing over the other in every sense. All that she had prepared and trained for flew out of the window whenever she stared into those pair of flirtatious, amused eyes that masked the cold, sinister intention behind them. Was it too late to back out now? _____________________________ Cover By Ei_Daisuki
The Emperor's Hidden Love by LyraEmberstone
5 parts Complete Mature
The Emperor's Hidden Love tells the story of me, Linghu Tongxi, a concubine in the grand and treacherous imperial palace. I entered the palace young and ambitious, with a single goal: to rise above my rivals and secure my place. I am beautiful, talented, and above all, I thrive on competition. If there are no rivals, life becomes dull. At first, I thought I had it all figured out. My opponents include a modern woman who mysteriously traveled back in time, a powerful young empress, and even a fierce female general who commands the military. But never did I consider the emperor himself as a contender in my game-until I discovered the truth. Emperor Huangfu Yan was cold, distant, and seemingly indifferent to me. His behavior was cruel at times, even humiliating me in front of others. I couldn't fathom why a man like him, who seemed to have no interest in the palace's inner workings, would pay attention to me. But behind his icy exterior, I began to realize something more. He had been secretly watching over me for years. Despite his aloofness, he had already fallen in love with me long before I ever noticed. As time passed, I found myself drawn to him-not just by his silent protection, but by the deep emotions I began to sense beneath his harsh exterior. Slowly, I started to understand the complexity of his feelings, his vulnerability hidden by a façade of indifference. Eventually, his love for me became undeniable, and with that realization, my own feelings shifted. I was no longer simply a player in the palace's power games. I was a woman in love with the emperor who had loved me all along. In the end, The Emperor's Hidden Love is a story of emotional growth and revelation. It's about learning to trust, to let down my guard, and to realize that even in the most unlikeliest of places, love can blossom in the most unexpected ways. This is a tale of palace intrigue, deep emotions, and the powerful transformation that comes with understanding and accepting true love.
