To Become Empress, I Imprisoned My Newlywed Emperor

【Madness galore: unhinged heroine, empress, villainess, husband-tormenting.】 【A vicious, unhinged, lovesick empress and a frail, gentle emperor who endures humiliation】 Everyone in the Nine Provinces knows that Jiang Nan, empress of the Lin Kingdom, is the very model of a virtuous wife and loving mother. On their wedding day, her husband eloped with her eighth sister. She was not angry, saying, “I trust him.” Her husband stayed away for years, but she never resented him. Instead, she supported his parents, governed the country, and patiently awaited his return. The people praised her as a wise and virtuous empress; the ministers hailed her as an emperor for the ages. No one knew that she had framed her husband for the affair, or that she supported his parents and governed the country to claim his realm as her own. She united the two kingdoms into one, received Heaven’s mandate at the sacrifice, and proclaimed herself the solitary ruler of the south: Emperor Zhan! … He thought meeting her meant finding salvation. He never expected it to be the beginning of hell. When he was young, one fleeting glance beneath the blazing sun led to three years of brutal interrogation in the underground Luoshen Palace, followed by five years bowing and scraping as a slave in the Kennel... His imperial sister threw herself to her death on the sacrificial altar, giving her life for her country. “Your Majesty, you cannot become the ruler of a fallen kingdom!” She burned his closest friend alive, drove her imperial sister to her death, and seized his country... He bowed and scraped, struggling to survive in the cracks. Years later, he strapped her to the torture rack. “When I served Your Majesty at your bedside, I was already thinking about how I would humiliate you and take revenge once I came to power.”
