When the Emperor married his white moonlight, I was left all alone in the cold palace, where I drew my last breath.

No one could detect my breathing. They didn’t know—I was the only inheritor of the Breath-Holding Technique.

The Emperor wept uncontrollably before my grave, yet I had already slipped away to the borderlands, feasting and drinking in a tavern. Meanwhile, I took the opportunity to feel the abs of a young man from the Western Regions.

Life should have continued on in this blissful way—until an earthquake struck, collapsing the imperial mausoleum. The Emperor discovered that my coffin was filled with nothing but a pile of rotten potatoes.

That day, the Emperor flew into a rage, determined to search every corner of the world to find me.

Chasing wife to the crematorium sorta vibes. Did NOT expect that ending

Spoiler

This is the first time I've read one of these short stories where the FL didn't reunite with the ML or find a new man.

She's living the high life with a bunch of little fresh meats and wolfdogs. I'm so envious...

[collapse]

FL holds her ground instead of conceding; ML does the same, so I do respect them both for not abandoning all their own preferences and ambitions for love.

A simple, short, realistic story. Not gonna lie, I never thought a story could end this way. When it's ended, it left me struck. I feel like snacking on chips, feeling it's still heavy, only to realize it's all gone.

This was good short story. I like the personality and attitude of FL (Jiang Song) being strong and decisive. She got laid-back persona but truly intelligent and just sometimes act as "s*upid" bc knowing everything might be tiresome according to her Master lol

FL met ML as neglected prince and later on helped him to be an Emperor.

When ML became Emperor, he married his "supposed" white moonlight. Song girl did several schemed against FL including poison which resulted FL's imprisonment at cold palace. With FL's martial arts prowess, she enabled to fake death and leave palace.

After her death, it was revealed that ML loved her but have no stable power so married the Song girl and placed FL to cold palace as to protect her.

Turned out, FL knew all about his plans and feelings for her. Reason why she accepted all his decisions.

I love the scene when ML and FL met again after fake death, they have choosen different path despite loving each other especially with Emperor having responsibilities that he can't choose to leave freely w/ her.

Love alone can't keep a relationship, I liked that both choose different paths and respected each other choice.
