『Entrusting My Heart to the Realm』
Historical GL / Cross-dressing / Young Virtuous Monarch / Pure Love / A Saint's Selfish Desire(?) “The realm rests upon my shoulders, yet before this fluttering of my heart, I find myself powerless to resist.” You are a princess from a defeated nation. With your homeland fallen, you were forced to become a bargaining chip for peace and sent into the depths of the Dayao imperial palace. When you first arrived, you were on high alert, wary of the schemes and calculations within the deep palace, your nerves taut at every moment for fear of being dragged into the vortex of imperial power. Yet two years passed, and that rumored diligent and decisive young monarch never set foot in the imperial harem even once. No one made things difficult for you, no one vied for favor, there were no chaotic palace intrigues, and no prying eyes. In this vast harem, from beginning to end, you were the sole resident. Your tightly wound nerves gradually relaxed, and little by little, you lowered your guard, settling into a tranquil, easygoing life of peaceful solitude. You have never seen the monarch's face, know nothing of their temperament, and are even less aware that on a quiet dusk when the Dayao ruler—revered by millions—happened to wander into this desolate courtyard, a single glance was all it took to stir a selfish longing never felt before.

Shouldering the realm, harboring a sliver of selfish longing.
