The Emperor's Secret Love Guide

Jun Yehuan habitually painted portraits of faceless women and showed no interest in his concubines, leading rumors to spread that he favored men. After learning that Gu Zian returned to the capital, he forced her to accept a secondary wife and even petitioned the Emperor for a marriage decree. When Jun Yehuan asked if she would agree, she politely refused, causing him to mistakenly believe she loved Gu Zian deeply and harbor hatred for him. In reality, Liu Miantang only wanted to divorce Gu Zian. Later, after Jun Yehuan cured her of the poison, they teamed up to eliminate threats to the court, disbanded the harem, and established her as the Empress.
