Have a Soft Spot for Her

The city is about to fall, the nation on the brink of collapse. Empress Pei Qing wrote a plea for help to that man.

For seven days, there was no response.

Yet, in the moment of despair, he arrived.

His peerlessly handsome face was full of disdain and contempt.

With blood dripping from the tip of his sword, Xiao Yuan lazily called out to her husband, “Royal Brother,”

Boasting of his meritorious service in protecting the king, he naturally demanded a reward—

“I have plenty of gold and silver, Royal Brother, don’t reward me with those.”

“Why not just give me your Empress to play with?”

A short story, a few tens of thousands of words for fun.

Pei Qing is the succeeding empress after her older sister, Pei Wan, taking care of her nephew, now her adopted son, Xiao Jia'an. When the emperor falls ill and the situation of the palace becomes precarious, she has to resort to her last lifeline- sending a letter to her ex, Xiao Yuan, for help. Might I add, this ex also has some justified anger and hatred towards her. Though, some of his later actions towards Pei Qing is definitely not justified.

It has typical misunderstanding trope. Nothing new really. It was... more>> kinda meh. The plot was also predictable. For once, I think, if the ending was tragic instead, I would've given it higher ratings🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ <<less

This actually better than I expected. I honestly thought it will be too angsty or tragic.

Pei Qing (FL) was kind, caring and selfless that I find her previous decision being bad. If only she didn't follow her family and cared too much with her nephew and other things left behind by her beloved sister's demise... her life must not be so complicated. She can have happiness much earlier with ML.

While I don't like treatment of ML (Xiao Yuan) to FL during their meetings, can understand his frustrations and his anger... more>> to her.

Spoiler

FL is current 2nd Empress and sister of late Empress. She actually got a platonic relationship with sickly Emperor who loved her dead sister. It's actually good partnership with no feelings with each other until Emperor's illness became so bad that officials and royal relatives tried to Coup d'état.

With no other solution, she wrote letter to ML (King Nanchuang/Xiao Yuan) for help in reinforcement and will do anything in exchange.

Based on narratives, ML and FL were ex lovers and agreed to marry each other. When they first met, they didn't know each other identities. She left home due to bad treatment of stepmom while he's seemed to be simple general on war. When she decided to marry Emperor based on her father's convincing. Their breakup was so bad with both revealing their identities.

It was later revealed that he still loved her. Due to his love to FL, despite hating her... he still willing to help her even tried to sacrifice his life and soldiers just to protect her and her nephew.

They later reconciled after knowing that FL still loved him and being honest to him.

The last move of the sickly Emperor was to protect FL and his kid. After his death, he appointed ML as Emperor but FL shall still be Empress.

[collapse]

Anyway, I liked the ending and all worked well. <<less
