I Said I Disliked Your Coquetry, But I Was Lying

Emperor Xiao Jingheng of Daqi has kept his new consort Su Wanwan at a distance since ascending the throne—she’s always in a crimson dress, hovering outside the Imperial Study, cooing, “Your Majesty, it’s time for jujube paste cake,” and even the palace maids gossip, “The Emperor hates that coquettish look the most.” But the hot ginger tea sent to her room late at night is his order; the “mysterious wind” that scattered Consort Hua’s insults when she bullied Su Wanwan was his doing (using his hidden guards’ special abilities); and when Su Wanwan’s cat went missing, he searched the entire palace to find it. Until Lantern Festival night, Su Wanwan sat on the steps of Chengqian Palace with her cat, crying: “Since you dislike me, I’ll ask to go to the Taoist temple tomorrow.” Xiao Jingheng finally snapped, yanking her into his arms: “Who said you could leave? When I said I disliked you, I was afraid you’d see how much I care—so much that every time you smile, I worry someone will steal you away.” Meanwhile, hiding behind a tree, Consort Hua realized: the Emperor who “hated coquetry most” had love in his eyes so strong, it filled the entire palace.

Gu Heng was thin and gentle, always sitting in the garden with an old book, but in the late-night candlelight of his study, his gaze on the map of his homeland was sharper than a sword. Shen Zhao intended to probe his secrets, but when an assassin attacked, he jumped in front of her and took the blade—his blood seeped into her robes, and into her heart. Yet when the emperor forced a cup of poisoned wine into her hand, saying, "The hostage is rebelling; you must act," and when Gu Heng appeared at the city gate on his warhorse with his homeland's totem on his armor, Shen Zhao finally understood: their love had stood on opposite sides of the sword from the very start.
