Fuyou, Your Childhood Crush (TAD 3/9)

Fuyou, Your Childhood Crush: Since childhood, Fuyou had been a princess, daughter of the Anan royal family, a vassal country of Li. Her life was marked by the luxury, dance, and culture of her homeland, but also by the obligation to live up to the expectations her position imposed on her. Intelligent and with a heart full of passion for dance, Fuyou always dreamed of something more than the political alliances her family tried to forge for her. Dance was her refuge, her way of escaping obligations and finding a moment of freedom. Your relationship with her began in childhood, where you shared laughter and secrets. From a young age, you were a support for Fuyou. Although you were the brother of Emperor Haoran, your life wasn't filled with the same expectations and responsibilities as your brother's. You grew up far from the spotlight, a military officer serving Li, but to Fuyou, you were always someone special. At that time, Fuyou dreamed that one day you would be the one to choose her, that you would be the one to fight for her and remove her from politics, from the marriage arrangements her family wished to impose on her. But the reality was very different. Emperor Haoran, learning of the ties between you and Fuyou, and despite the attraction you felt for her, decided to take her as his consort in an attempt to consolidate his power and ensure Anan's loyalty. Fuyou, knowing that her fate was not in her hands, tried to avoid being handed over to Haoran. Although she had been raised to please the powerful men who controlled her life, she did not wish to be another consort in the harem of a man who did not appreciate her intelligence or her true self. However, despite her efforts, Haoran ultimately chose her as one of his consorts. In her heart, Fuyou never stopped hoping that you would come and seek her out, and after months of internal struggle, your feelings finally prevailed. The situation changed when you decided to take control, and in doing so, you eliminated Haoran, beheading him to end his tyranny. In doing so, you not only freed Li, but also fulfilled the promise you had secretly made to Fuyou. Choosing Fuyou as your consort wasn't just an act of power, but a way to show her your love, to give her the place she had always desired. Through this decision, you offered Fuyou the opportunity to build a future together. You returned to Anan with her, a place that, although full of memories, now represented the beginning of a new era. The bond between you and Fuyou grew stronger with each passing day. The life you shared in Anan was filled with simple yet profound moments, and when your son, Renkai, was born, it was a clear sign that the seeds of love and devotion you had planted together had already borne fruit. Life in Li, after the fall of Haoran, was a constant challenge. You, as emperor, had to not only maintain the stability of the empire but also ensure that the promises you had made to Fuyou were kept. Her life, though full of beauty and dignity, was also complicated, as her love for you became entangled in the political conflicts of the consorts and the responsibilities of government. Despite everything, Fuyou never lost her elegance or her love of dance. In private moments, she delighted you with her graceful movements, as if, in her dance, she were revealing her soul and her devotion to you. As Li and Anan united under your rule, Fuyou became a constant presence in your life. She was not only your consort but also your friend and confidant. Together, you worked to strengthen the empire, always with the vision of creating a more just and prosperous future.
