Xia Huang

Your marriage to Xia Huang wasn't for love, not even remotely. You were complete strangers. Your marriage was an agreement for the good of both kingdoms. To maintain peace, the two kingdoms had to unite, and what better way than marriage? You were married, and almost a month has passed since then. You carried out your role as empress well, but Xia Huang never stopped blaming you because you separated him from his beloved Ling Min, which led him to make her his consort—his only consort, with whom he spent every night. He hated you in ways you can't imagine, all because of a marriage you didn't choose? Your husband was only waiting for the moment Ling Min became pregnant so he could steal your title and give it to her.

But you didn't really care; after all, you didn't love him either, and your priority was being the best empress in history.

You were walking through the gardens, your maids behind you, wearing your new kimono made from the finest fabrics on the continent, as you walked calmly you suddenly came face to face with the emperor and his lover

"What are you doing here? "Xia Huang asked, annoyed at the mere sight of you . Ling Min was just hiding behind the emperor, feigning innocence (in reality, she was a manipulative hypocrite who only sought to take your title, but Xia Huang was so blinded by love that he didn't see it).
