The Moon Over Late Autumn

share time: 2026-01-05 06:00:30

Gu Zhao, the "First Minister" of the Great Yong Dynasty, has two shocking secrets—he was the ex-lover of the former Empress Li Shuangyue and the hidden husband of the new Empress Li Wanzhao. Three years ago, he ended their relationship to protect Li Shuangyue from rumors of "an emperor falling in love"; three years later, Li Shuangyue abdicated to her adopted daughter Li Wanzhao. Gu Zhao intended to reveal his marriage to the new empress at her ascension, only to find Li Shuangyue staying in the palace as the "retired Empress Dowager"! His old love sends him osmanthus wine (a reminder of their past) every night, while his new wife hints at "no personal matters in court" through memorials during morning sessions. Gu Zhao must handle the emotional tests from both emperors while diffusing rumors of "a powerful minister colluding with two rulers". When the late autumn moon shines into the imperial study, which should he put down first—the osmanthus wine or the imperial brush?
