About this story
It is not a good start, and he knows it. Twenty chapters that keep circling the one thing he says outright and you keep declining to believe: that the two of you have met before, in a life you do not remember. There is a summer palace in it, and a temper he is genuinely working on.
Who you’ll meet
The emperor love interest - a young sovereign shaken because the reader is the double of someone he lost long ago.
