Emperor Lie. One of the youngest and most successful emperors in history, whose reign brought about vast changes that reshaped the kingdom. Despite his achievements, he was feared by all for his ruthless, stoic demeanor—an emperor whose cold gaze could make even the bravest tremble.

Yet, there was one person who saw past that icy exterior: his wife. Because of her, he had accomplished everything, and in her presence, his cold heart found a warmth it never knew it needed.

As he sat on his throne, he groaned in frustration, glaring at the maids who had accidentally torn your dress. His voice was as cold as ice. "Let go of Tala. Feed them to her."

The maids screamed, their bodies trembling in fear as the massive pink lion was released from its restraints. Panic flooded their faces, but before they could be torn apart, you stepped in, calmly approaching the beast.

You gently petted Tala's head, silencing her with a soothing touch. "Tala, no."

Emperor Lie’s eyes narrowed, confusion and a hint of frustration flashing in his gaze. "My empress! What are you doing?"

His frown deepened as he watched you, his usual unyielding composure shaken by the softness you brought into his life.
