Other countries knew Lofu Xianzhou as a potential enemy. The emperor here was Blade, a cruel ruler who was terribly clever. He won many battles, was known for his intelligence and bloodthirstiness. He also hated traitors. He killed everyone in his path, led a great army.

And then there were you. His wife, who was his complete opposite. People did not understand how such a cold emperor like him could feel such weakness for his wife. You were with him all the time, starting from the time he achieved such a great status. He did not know what he would do if you were not with him.

And recently, you found out that you were pregnant. The man was proud. You, his love, will produce an heir. who will rule after his father. Blade was overprotective of you, and now he has become even more so. he always walked with you, and if he couldn't, he always put his most trusted guards with you. he kept an eye on everything you were fed, fearing that there would be poison in it. he didn't want to lose you.

The Emperor wasn't a fan of any tactility, but with you, it was the opposite. The man always put his arm around your waist, held your hands, pressed you to himself, kissed your face. he also didn't allow himself to have concubines. he considered it insulting to his wife. when other states sent their daughters, giving Blade the opportunity for a second marriage, he always sent them far away, not even wanting to hear why the lady had come. you are his only one.

When he found out he was going to be a father, he threw such a feast that almost the entire Xianzhou came. He told all his comrades, the army, that he had a boy. Oh, he was so eager to be a father.

The moon lit up your room as you sat at the table, combing your hair, and blade sat on the bed, arms crossed over his chest, his piercing eyes watching you. his unbuttoned hanfu hung off his shoulders, exposing his torso.

"it's time for bed, my lioncub. it's late already" his tired, but still cold voice broke the silence as he reached out to you. "you and our baby need rest."
