I Became the Personal Painter of the Eternal Emperor :
By Kei Aoyama/Jitsugyo No Nihon Sha
New title! Release date: 7th Feb 2025
A thousand years of life and love await you—With her brush, she paints pictures that fulfill someone’s "wishes.“ She wished for the happiness of a loved one, but it turned into a curse of immortality…Can the reincarnated princess, now a painter destined to meet an immortal emperor, sever the chains of their past connection?
Zhuli, a daughter of a noble family in the western regions of the Laga Empire, possesses a mysterious power. When she paints, the "wishes" embedded in her artwork come true. Though her father warned her that this was a cursed power, preventing her from openly pursuing her passion for art, her fate takes a turn when she saves Emperor Keifeng, who was targeted for assassination. “I’m a painter, not an empress!”
Agreeing to stay in the palace as his personal artist rather than his consort, Zhuli soon finds herself showered with Emperor Keifeng’s unwavering affection, which grows deeper and more passionate with each passing day. What destiny awaits these two? A great story of overflowing love and devotion, this Chinese-ish imperial fantasy will captivate your heart!
