Description
While growing up, it was assumed that Lan Xichen was next in line for succession. No one could believe it when the moody and quiet second son of the emperor presented as the alpha and not the more amicable and diplomatic first son. Lan Xichen knew his younger brother would have rather travelled the lands to seek out honour and justice, instead of being forever bogged down in the palace with scrolls. There was also the constant badgering from the Empress Dowager, Lan Qiren, that Wangji needed to contend with as well. The Empress Dowager wanted Lan Wangji to continually expand his harem and produce more potential heirs. There was no doubt that the harem was the thing Lan Wangji hated the most about being the emperor. He would never be able to find a true mate. He was expected to bond with the omega that produced his first alpha heir and make him his empress. Nobody except Lan Xichen knew that underneath the aloof and icy exterior, a romantic soul harboured. A younger Wangji had always dreamed of finding and bonding with someone he truly loved. or The story of the rise of an omega manservant, Wei Wuxian, in the Imperial harem of the Lan Empire ruled by Emperor Lan Wangji.
