My sister is Luna

At sunset.

"Let's go, Cain. It's getting late; it's time to return to the Daming Palace. I had a very pleasant day, especially with you."

Wu Zetian rose with a smile on her lips and extended her hand to Cain, her voice gentle yet authoritative.

Bathed in the glow of the sunset, Wu Zetian's figure seemed to be edged with gold, appearing majestic and dazzling. In the shadows, her bright eyes shone with a profound depth that seemed to encompass all things, striking straight to the soul.

At that moment, Cain felt as if she had become incredibly small, inspiring people to submit to her from the bottom of their hearts. The empress who looked down upon the world had returned, with that unparalleled aura, the true bearing of an emperor!

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cain looked at the magnificent Wu Zetian at this moment, subconsciously took her warm and smooth hand and stood up.

The other person smiled with satisfaction, took Cain's hand, and left Ganye Temple.

The ancient stone tablet stands alone in the rustling breeze, patiently watching the recurring sunsets and recording the passage of time.

Ah, I really want to join this person's ranks and let her use me until I'm worn out. How wonderful that would be... No, that's not right. Why am I having such thoughts? I've never wanted to be anyone's subordinate. Is it Wu Zetian's powerful leadership qualities that have influenced me?

As Cain gazed at Wu Zetian's heroic figure, he became somewhat mesmerized, then suddenly snapped out of his reverie.

"What was I thinking? That was terrifying imperial charisma..." Cain muttered to himself, still somewhat shaken.

"Hmm? What are you saying? Are you praising my greatness and beauty?" Wu Zetian glanced at Cain, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little flattered, Your Majesty. I'm not sure about my own feelings, and I'm afraid I'll let Your Majesty down."

Cain's expression was complicated. Wu Zetian did not hold a place in his heart as high as his other female friends, yet she was the first to do such an intimate thing with him. He had no experience and felt very confused.

"It seems you are confused and confused. But since you are not clear, then don't think about anything. Just obey me and let me sweep away your confusion."

As she spoke, Wu Zetian suddenly pulled Cain over and gently pecked him on the lips.

"Your Majesty, could you please not launch a surprise attack? I wasn't prepared at all."

Kain had become somewhat accustomed to Wu Zetian's occasional bold behavior. Although being kissed by a beautiful woman was enjoyable, he felt awkward because he was the one being teased, and this unequal relationship made him uncomfortable.

"How should I put it? This is the first time I've met someone I like so much, so I couldn't help myself," Wu Zetian said without any pretense, her face beaming with a beautiful smile.

"Then Your Majesty, please restrain yourself. Imperial dignity must not be lost," Cain said helplessly.

"I am the emperor, who dares to speak ill of me?" Wu Zetian was extremely domineering and never took these people seriously.

"How about it? Do you want to come to the palace with me and serve by my side? If you are very talented, perhaps we can usher in a prosperous era of two emperors ruling together."

Wu Zetian whispered in Cain's ear, her delicate fragrance like strands of silk, constantly entwining Cain's mind and teasing his sense of smell.

Faced with such tempting terms, no one would refuse, but Cain said without hesitation:

“I refuse, Your Majesty. I am not interested in these things. Please forgive my refusal.”

"I will not force anyone. Although I possess formidable strength, I will still be reasonable with you. I will not force you into the palace. I will let you know my charm and make you willingly kneel at my feet." Wu Zetian spoke with imperial confidence.

"But the more you reject me, the more I want you. Ah, I'm so afraid that one day I won't be able to resist and will want to possess you completely~"

Wu Zetian cupped her cheeks in a somewhat dazed manner, her imperial aura vanishing instantly, transforming her into a normal woman pursuing love, and her appearance was even somewhat adorable.

"Ah, Your Majesty, we've arrived at the Daming Palace. I must take my leave now. Goodbye!"

Looking at Wu Zetian's appearance, Cain shuddered, feeling a little scared. He was too passive in this relationship. Seeing that the Daming Palace was already in sight, he quickly said something, left Wu Zetian behind, and ran inside.

"You're still like a shy, innocent little boy, but I won't let you escape. After all, we're so compatible, in every sense of the word."

Wu Zetian watched Cain's departing figure with a smile, her eyes full of confidence.

……

"Phew, finally back. I don't know if it's bad luck or good luck, but I've actually been favored by Wu Zetian. I haven't even dealt with Milady yet, and now another one has appeared..."

Cain ran to the entrance of the small courtyard, breathed a sigh of relief, his expression complicated and his face full of helplessness.

"Cain, you're finally back. It's already evening. Sure enough, Her Majesty the Empress is holding you accountable, isn't she?"

Shangguan Wan'er came out of the room and looked at Cain with concern in her eyes.

"No, no, something just happened, that's why I'm late." Cain scratched his head awkwardly, his eyes darting around.

"Something happened? What happened that took you so long?" Shangguan Wan'er asked, pressing her for an answer.

“Uh… this…” Cain seemed hesitant, unsure of what to say.

This is a secret between me and Wu Zetian, how can I tell you... If I don't tell you, Shangguan Wan'er will definitely worry a lot. What can I use to cover this up...? Cain pondered his words.

Just as Cain was pondering, Shangguan Wan'er's expression suddenly turned to surprise. She covered her mouth and exclaimed in astonishment:

"His Majesty?!"

Huh? Cain was stunned for a moment, his body stiffening.

"Welcome Your Majesty to my humble abode!" Shangguan Wan'er respectfully bowed and clasped her hands.

“Welcome, Your Majesty…” Cain turned around stiffly and said.

"No gift."

The person standing behind Cain was none other than Wu Zetian. She had changed into a bright red dress, exuding a cold and aloof aura, and the imperial presence had returned to her.

"These past few days, I have issued the Phoenix Decree and held a banquet with a thousand lanterns. Therefore, I would like to see the results and travel incognito. I wonder if you two would be willing to accompany me?" Wu Zetian smiled with a dignified yet benevolent expression.

But Cain always felt there was a certain smile in her eyes, like the feeling of a successful prank or a pleasant surprise.

"Of course I'm willing, it would be my honor," Shangguan Wan'er said with delight, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Being able to travel with Her Majesty the Empress was something she never dared to dream of.

“Very well, then let’s go quickly, shall we, Cain?” Wu Zetian smiled slightly at Cain, a deep meaning flashing in her eyes.
