Shen Yan, a top scholar from a poor family, became the capital's laughingstock for rejecting Empress Chu Zhao's offer to be her "male consort". But the传闻edly cold and decisive empress secretly took off her dragon robe, disguised herself as a maid, and sneaked into his mansion—she was mistaken for an assassin while delivering tonic soup, ruined half a stack of official documents while helping him copy them, and even moved all peonies from the imperial garden to his yard for his birthday. The more Shen Yan avoided her, the more Chu Zhao clung. Until one night, the empress grabbed his sleeve with red eyes and said: "I don't want you as my consort. I want to be your wife." Turns out her "clinging" was just a proud emperor learning to love clumsily.
