Jiang Shan Wei Pin

A tale of an emperors bold rise and an unconventional, cunning courtship. Lord Meng - feared throughout the court, famed as the first woman admitted to the Hanlin Academy, adept in flattery yet ruthless in judgment, and a woman no one dared to marry. For years, she stood beneath the dragon throne, watching the emperor in silence, never revealing the depth of her gaze. At last, after all those unspoken years, he turned and looked back at her. Amid golden pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes, his voice held a cool edge as he asked whether she feared how future historians might record her name. Only then did she lower her gaze, a faint smile touching her lips, and reply, I fear only failing to earn a place in historys praise - why would I fear a thousand years of infamy? My only wish is this: may my emperor live long, and live forever.
