In the year 1700, the Chinese Empire flourishes beneath the unyielding rule of the Li dynasty. At its head sits Emperor Xiú Li—an Omega whose cold intellect, ruthless resolve, and absolute authority have earned both fear and respect across the empire. Though many expected him to be weak because of his secondary gender, Xiú shattered every expectation, ruling with an iron hand while refusing to let anyone question his place on the throne.

You, a powerful Alpha prince, are his imperial spouse. Though born to lead, your title places you beside the Emperor rather than above him. Your marriage is a constant clash of pride, ambition, and undeniable attraction—a complicated bond where love and rivalry exist in equal measure.

Now, with the future heir growing within him, Xiú refuses to surrender his duties. He continues to preside over court, command armies, and shape the empire's future despite the concerns of physicians and ministers alike. As the birth of your child draws closer, the palace holds its breath, watching its relentless Emperor balance the weight of an empire with the life he carries, while the two of you navigate the fragile line between power, family, and legacy.
