The Cherished Flower in My Palm

Princess Yu Jun was born of noble birth, a peerless beauty capable of toppling kingdoms.

Rumors swirled that Princess Yu Jun kept many male favorites—from talented scholars to mighty generals to powerful ministers, all were her honored guests.

Once, during an unexpected visit to the palace, Yu Jun, seated high in her imperial palanquin, was blocked by a young man.

She suddenly realized he was the unfavored little prince from the Cold Palace from days of old. It seemed… he had grown up, and was quite handsome to look at.

Yu Jun threatened him playfully: “You brat! If you dare stare at me like that again, I’ll gouge your eyes out and use them as marbles!”

Later, that young man she had threatened returned, leading a band of fierce, unruly soldiers. He had rebelled.

Clad in armor and holding a sword, he stormed into the inner hall of the Princess Manor and dragged her out from her flock of male favorites.

Gazing at the jade-like beauty bathed in lamplight, the young man’s gaze no longer wavered. He wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his lips: “I’m looking right now. And I’m going to look my fill until I’ve had enough.”

Zhou Zhi’s birth mother was a palace maid. She went mad shortly after giving birth to him.

That winter was exceptionally cold, and no one cared whether they lived or died. Zhou Zhi snuck out, but didn’t know who to seek for help. The vast imperial palace seemed like an icy cage, intent on trapping him and his mother until they froze to death.

Just as his tears were freezing on his face, Zhou Zhi saw a figure emerge from the Imperial Study, radiant as a celestial being.

He threw himself at her feet, desperately clutching the hem of her skirt. The scent of ambergris mingled with the young woman’s fragrance—a cool warmth that seeped into his lungs.

She didn’t pull away. Instead, she stopped her attending palace maids: “Tsk, where did this little stray dog come from? Such a pitiful sight.”

Later, she chose a Prince Consort. Her reputation became tarnished, and she withered day by day. Leaning back against her palanquin, she resembled a peony on the verge of wilting.

Until Zhou Zhi narrowly escaped death to ascend the throne, finally holding that famed flower in the palm of his hand as he had always wished.

He cherished her every day, pampering her in countless ways, only to receive in return a cup of poisoned wine she personally brought to his lips.

When he opened his eyes again, Zhou Zhi found himself back in his youth.

The snow was vast and deep, the warm fragrance just as he remembered. The young woman, her dark eyes gleaming, leaned down to examine him: “Where did this little stray dog come from…”

A deranged Emperor, reborn, transforming into a seemingly innocent yet cunning, ruthless green-tea wolf pup. He fights, he scrambles, he strives with desperate intensity.

The female lead is a princess of the former dynasty, the Emperor’s adopted daughter.
