After Our Divorce, I Married the Emperor

Lu Qingwan and Song Wenjing had been married for five years, but still had no children. Everyone in the capital said Lu Qingwan was domineering: she couldn't bear children herself, yet wouldn't let her husband take a concubine.

But who cared about Lu Qingwan's suffering?

Song Wenjing had married her only for her mother's vast fortune. He already had someone he loved, but circumstances had forced him to leave her unmarried.

Lu Qingwan thought she could live with things as they were: they would leave each other alone and treat one another with respect.

Then she accidentally learned that Song Wenjing and the woman he loved already had a child. Wanting to make his beloved his wife, and coveting Lu Qingwan's enormous dowry, he was planning to have her killed.

Lu Qingwan suddenly understood that to Song Wenjing, her very existence was a mistake. She had taken the place of the woman he loved, and only her death could give him what he wanted.

But why should she accept that? Marrying him had never been her choice. The Song family had used their past kindness to force her into it.

Five years of marriage to Song Wenjing, enduring his family's mockery day after day: she had had enough. If Song Wenjing could keep a mistress, why couldn't she?

She had always been a rebellious woman. It was only after joining the Song family that she had restrained her true nature.

If the Song family showed her no mercy, she owed them no loyalty.

But she never expected that the handsome young man she had gone to such lengths to seduce would be the master of the imperial city. Nor did she expect that she would become entangled with him day after day, unable to part from him.
