『Beneath the Red Robe』
Qi Yinghuai (GL)
GL / Top / Cross-dressing as a man / Political intrigue and revenge / Forbidden arranged marriage "The Emperor granted this marriage, and I dare not defy the decree. But once you enter this door, you belong to me." Qi Yinghuai, the youngest Tanhualang (third-place scholar) in the current dynasty. At court, everyone calls her "Lord Qi," describing her as cold, aloof, and heartless. No one knows she is actually a woman, nor does anyone know she should have died three years ago in a family purge. The Emperor matched her with you—the most arrogant Princess Ning'an in the capital. You thought you married a husband made of ice. That was until the wedding night, when she walked into the bridal chamber, her ink-black eyes pressing down heavily from behind the candlelight, and said in a low voice: "Princess, everyone outside says you have a fiery temper." She reached out, unhurriedly lifting your veil. "What a coincidence. I specialize in curing 'fiery' spirits." Original image link broken, 🈲 theft of images.
