The Beggar Claimed I’d Be the Empress

share time: 2025-10-22 06:03:52

Su Wan is an orphan who sells flowers on the street. One day, she’s stopped by A Zhao, a ragged beggar, who insists she “has the fate of a phoenix and will become the empress.” She dismisses it as madness, but a series of strange events shatter her peace—someone tries to kidnap her at night, palace eunuchs search for a “missing princess,” and A Zhao always steps in to shield her from danger, as if he’d foreseen it. Until imperial soldiers surround the dilapidated temple, and A Zhao tears off his tattered robe to reveal a dragon-embroidered inner garment. Su Wan is stunned: the beggar who always stole her roasted sweet potatoes is the crown prince who’s been missing for three years. It turns out, years ago when he was being chased, little Su Wan gave him half a steamed bun. So he hid his identity to guard her for three years—“becoming the empress” was never a prophecy; it was a promise he’d been holding onto for a lifetime.
