Sun Rou was gritting her teeth and crying when she suddenly heard footsteps approaching outside. Startled, she quickly shrank further into the quilt, leaving only her eyes exposed.
The footsteps grew closer, and she shrank even more into the quilt until she saw the Emperor entering the room again. She was somewhat surprised and bewildered, not understanding why the Emperor had returned.
She could barely make out the Emperor's face under the backlight, but his silhouette seemed perfect, as if he was smiling at her.
Suddenly, her feelings of humiliation subsided, and instead, her heart was filled with a strange joy.
The man who had forced himself on her was none other than the Emperor himself, who held the most prestigious position among all men in the world. If she could gain his favor as his concubine, it would certainly be better than being a Crown Princess.
For the Sun Family, losing their daughter's innocence to the Emperor would be considered a blessing.
