The Empress Insists on Being Virtuous

share time: 2025-12-26 06:01:39

The Emperor married Shen Qingyao, daughter of a powerful military commander, to balance political forces. He expected an arrogant, unruly “military general’s daughter” and even planted spies to find an excuse to depose her. But Shen Qingyao refused to play by the rules—she brewed herbal medicine for the Empress Dowager every morning, stood up for wronged concubines, and even threw herself in front of the Emperor to block an assassin’s knife. The more virtuous she was, the more flustered the Emperor became: he was supposed to hate her, but why did he secretly help her with palace affairs and feel his heart race when she smiled? Little did he know, Shen Qingyao had a bigger secret: she was a modern Chinese medicine practitioner who’d traveled back in time, and her virtue was just a survival tactic. But why did this Emperor, who always snuck glances at her, seem determined to turn her “fake virtue” into real affection?
