You Cast Me Aside for a Title? Who Do You Think You Are, Empress of All?

[Family intrigue + high-IQ revenge + devoted husband + clear-eyed heroine vs. resilient, tragic hero] A marriage contract, seven years of waiting. Tang Wan kept the empty house and served as its mistress for years, helping the once-fallen Marquis household rise to prominence. Little did she know that when her husband returned, he would bring his beloved with him... “I never had any feelings for Tang Wan. I only hope we can annul the marriage contract and each marry someone else.” A delicate woman leaned against Gu Qingkai, with two children clinging to her knees. In everyone’s eyes, She was a willow in the courtyard, soft and pliant, living carefree and indulging herself. She was a noblewoman from a prominent family, devoid of passion and dull. Tang Wan’s heart turned to ash as she looked at the faithless man before her. You want to inherit the title and live happily ever after, then get that shameless woman made a titled lady? Dream on! Tang Wan steeled herself, weighed her options, planned ahead, and set out to avenge the shame brought upon her family. Then she met a mad, powerful official who defied convention and showered her with love. Even as the realm descended into chaos and the waves rose high, he stayed by her side. But by then, Gu Qingkai had finally come to his senses. “Tang Wan, we were husband and wife once. We should share a bed in life and a grave in death.” Wei Ren snapped, “All under heaven belongs to the emperor. Rites can be cast aside, and love can be severed. From now on, there is no Gu family wife, only my own wife.”
