Memories of the Palace

In the first book of the Imperial Omegaverse series, follow Li Changyu as he navigates the Emperor’s harem and is swept up in mystery and intrigue. Being an omega with a family full of alphas didn’t stop him from taking part in the family tradition of serving in the military. After years spent protecting the Empire, Li Changyu receives an edict from the Emperor himself demanding his hand in marriage and to become the Nation’s Empress.

As Emperor, Jin Xiyan has a duty to his country and to produce an heir. The problem with that is the familial line of alphas has dwindled to almost nothing, and after several children, there doesn’t seem to be an alpha male heir in sight. Luckily, he’s told of an omega from a notable family that comes from an entire family of only alphas. While this initially feels like a blessing, Jin Xiyan quickly realizes it’s a curse as his new omega bride behaves nothing like an omega.

As time goes on, it is no secret in the Court that these two are at odds, but what happens when they are forced to work together because they woke up in each other’s bodies?

Content Warnings:

I will always strive to put content warnings on particularly sensitive chapters. I will issue a warning at the top, and a separate section which has a brief summary that is designed to not be triggering but give the basic information of the chapter so those who wish to, may skip and carry on to the next chapter. For those that continue to read, I will also put within the chapter asterisk lines with a marker denoting when the triggering scene occurs and ends.

This story has, and is not limited to:
NSFW content, mildly dubious consent (I mean, arranged marriages?), forced marriage, violence, domestic violence that one would typically see in a harem C-drama, sex work, miscarriage, abortion, sex, rough sex, mild BDSM themes, manipulating others with sex, alcohol use, drug use, period typical racism and ethnocentrism (without slurs), omega oppression/class system, poisoning, character deaths, historical inaccuracies and accuracies.

I promise, IT IS A HAPPY ENDING!
