I Remarried My Younger Brother-in-Law and Became a Virtuous Empress

Xuandie drags her ex along as they transmigrate 1,500 years into the past, to the Jin Dong Kingdom. Her ex is castrated and reduced to a lowly eunuch, while she becomes a little palace maid bestowed upon a dead man. The only way for her to survive is to marry her younger brother-in-law, Dugu Hu, so she becomes his secondary wife and wreaks havoc under his protection. Later, she seizes the chance to accompany Dugu Hu on a mission to the Liang Kingdom, hoping to rescue the eunuch and return to their own time together. But he reports her as a runaway slave from the Dugu household, forcing her back to her brother-in-law's side. After two years in Jin Dong, Xuandie has witnessed the suffering of the poor firsthand and seen the incompetence of the Helian Dynasty. She decides to support Dugu Hu in carrying out a peaceful coup, seizing the throne and ushering Jin Dong into a new era. As her domestic battles with Dugu Hu's first wife rage on, Xuandie steadily advances her ambitious plan to build a thriving enterprise in Jin Dong and expand it across the six kingdoms. While both fronts progress, Dugu Hu ascends the throne. His first wife deploys a deadly scheme to claim the title of queen, so Xuandie flees the Dugu household. His first wife is beaten to death, and Dugu Hu rules the kingdom alone. Five years later, Xuandie has become queen of the Changqiang Kingdom. To save her people, she returns to Dugu Hu. The two begin a love without reservations and work together in perfect unity, raising the Jin Dong Kingdom to the status of the greatest power in the land.
