Currently Playing: To the World, She’s a Ruthless Empress—To Me, She Whispers ‘Stay in My Arms Forever

Rumors in the capital spoke of a certain idle nobleman named Gu Lingqiu— a good-for-nothing scion who cared nothing for learning or ambition, spending his days indulging in wine, women, and revelry. Amid political turmoil in the court, demonic tribes from the borderlands launched a massive invasion. Gu Lingqiu’s father, the Grand General, marched to the front lines—only to fall in battle, his blood soaking the sands alongside countless fallen officers. When his corpse was returned to the capital, Gu Lingqiu was still carousing in a pleasure house, laughing over wine with courtesans. Though his father was posthumously honored as a Duke of Non-Royal Blood for his loyal service to the realm, that glory did not guarantee Gu Lingqiu a lifetime of carefree decadence under the Emperor’s watchful eye. Scheming enemies soon tripped him up—and he was exiled to the frontier. Everyone assumed he’d perish at the hands of the demonic hordes… Yet against all odds, he returned—victorious. And it was on the road home that he met Su Meirui— the girl who had once been his classmate, later rose to become the Demon Sect’s Empress, and ultimately… became his wife.
