Before asking for a divorce, she devoted herself to serving her parents-in-law and used her dowry to support the household. In return, after passing the imperial examinations, he sought to take a second wife.
Li Changxiu sneered, “Jiang Yunhan, you spend all day scheming in the inner quarters and pouring money and effort into my career, don't you? Yan Qin is a noblewoman from a distinguished scholarly family. She's never been as calculating as you, pretending to love me!”
Jiang Yunhan promptly handed him a divorce agreement and took back her dowry.
Li Changxiu had always thought that a divorced woman like Jiang Yunhan, whose mother had died young and whose father disliked her, would be despised by everyone. He never imagined the emperor would welcome her as an honored guest, or that the great noble families would vie for her attention.
When he finally came to his senses and asked to marry her again,
Jiang Yunhan was already making a dazzling second marriage to Prince Chen, the dynasty's revered God of War!
Looking at Li Changxiu kneeling before him,
Prince Chen advised him with complete sincerity: “Yunhan, your taste used to be truly terrible. Now that you've married me, you've finally found your perfect match!”
It's pretty good. There's no time travel or rebirth involved, and it's not a story about transmigrating into a book. The female lead discovers that her man has changed his mind, so she decisively divorces him and leaves. She overturns her grandfather's case, brings glory to the country, and is smart, strong, capable, and has a bit of luck. She lives a very exciting life.
Since the female lead is a county princess, and the Li family frequently causes her trouble, she never forcefully demands they bow. She knows martial arts; given their foul mouths, a beating would silence them, but she never actually lays a hand on them, always resorting to verbal sparring—she lacks assertiveness. Li Changxiu holds an official position, so he can't be beaten arbitrarily, while the other members of the Li family, without official status, can be assaulted at will.
I've only given this book a 7.8 Rating so far, but I think it should be a 9. The content is quite good, and the logical thinking is relatively clear, making me want to keep reading.
This book has a captivating and suspenseful plot, the female lead isn't a naive and innocent character; she's thoughtful, and the romance is nuanced. Highly recommended! Looking forward to more chapters!
Well written, I like the female lead who has such ambition.
Not bad! 7.8 Is too low a score; it should be 9 or higher! Some books that score 9 or higher aren't as well-written as this! The Emperor's genes are terrible; the princes are either stubborn or simple-minded—truly stubborn, foolish, and simple-minded all at once. They dared to drug and force the emperor to abdicate without even having soldiers, collecting scraps along the way—so pitiful!
I'm tired of time-travel novels. They all follow the same formula. The only reason I was able to sit down and read this novel without any cheat codes was because I was drawn in by the author's writing style and the delicate portrayal of the characters' inner thoughts. The storyline is also captivating.
It's a great watch; the plot has many ups and downs.
I really love this book. I really love this book. I really love this book.
The plot is so convoluted, it's a typical female-centric novel, with the male lead only occasionally appearing, basically just a background character 🤭 I listen to audiobooks, and I enjoy the lots of dialogue. I don't like stories that focus heavily on inner monologues; I prefer this kind of fast-paced question-and-answer format.
