Abstract

A thousand years of life and love—for you.

With every stroke of her brush, she paints a picture that grants someone’s deepest “wish.”
She only wished for the happiness of someone dear to her—
yet that wish became a curse of immortality…

Can the reincarnated princess, a gifted artist who encounters the ageless emperor in a fateful meeting, break the chains of the past?

Zhu Li, daughter of a clan governing the western region of the Kingdom of Laga, possesses a mysterious power:
when she paints, the “wish” embedded in the artwork comes true.
Her father warns her that this ability is a curse, leaving Zhu Li unable to freely pursue the art she loves.

One day, she saves Emperor Keihō—targeted for assassination by unknown assailants—and, through this connection, is brought into the inner palace.

“I am an artist. I will not become a consort!”

She agrees to enter the palace only as the emperor’s personal painter, not his bride.
However, Keihō’s affection for the beautiful Zhu Li only grows deeper and more intense…

What fate awaits the two of them!?

A masterpiece of Chinese palace fantasy—overflowing with irresistible affection and breathtaking romance!
