The Empress's Edict Forces a Marriage, but My Wife Storms the Palace with a Blade!

Reborn into an ancient world, Chu Ran had a knife wound inflicted on him at birth, leaving him frail and sickly ever since...

But he had a wonderful fiancee who chopped wood, carried water, did the laundry, cooked, and supported his studies.

By some stroke of good fortune, Chu Ran passed the imperial exams of the Wu Dynasty and came first!

As he raced home to tell his fiancee the good news,

he suddenly discovered that his usually plain fiancee had an astonishing identity...

"By imperial decree, top scholar Chu Ran possesses the bearing of a dragon and phoenix. I shall take him as my imperial consort. He is to enter the palace and wed at once. So decrees the Emperor."

The fifty-year-old empress's overbearing decree forced him into marriage.

At that moment, Chu Ran was furious. He would defy the decree!

But he hadn't expected his fiancee to be even more audacious, daring to confront the empress head-on!

"For Yu'er’s sake, I'll give you a chance to take revenge."

"In three years, if you can't breach Wudu and annex my Wu Dynasty, she will marry someone else and bear children for Wu, continuing its line..."

After activating the Reincarnated God of Misfortune System, Chu Ran secretly vowed:

In three years, I'll cut down the empress with my sword!
