I Pledge This Splendid Realm to Win Your Heart

[Palace and household intrigue + both leads are faithful to each other + punishing scum + face-slapping + devoted husband + marriage before love]

The capital was rocked by scandal: the General’s wife had committed an unforgivable outrage and divorced her husband!

Her ex-husband laughed that she would never find another husband and would come crawling back, begging for his forgiveness.

After her cousin stole her place, she laughed that the rest of her life would be spent beneath her feet.

Everyone laughed that by divorcing her husband, she had ruined her own life.

But she turned around and married the Crown Prince. She became Crown Princess, Empress, and then the Female Emperor. Everyone ended up kneeling at her feet!

She had once risked her life to save her ex-husband and supported him and her former mother-in-law for years. In return, after he rose through the ranks and made his fortune, he married another woman.

When she refused to share a husband with another woman, he called her vicious and deranged.

But she didn’t care.

When it came to scumbag men and wicked women, she was determined to be both deranged and vicious!

She had once saved the Crown Prince, too.

When everyone opposed her divorce and it was considered a capital crime, she went to the Crown Prince and called in her life-saving favor, asking him to plead with the Emperor to spare her and grant her divorce.

To her surprise, the Crown Prince not only helped her get the divorce she wanted, but also asked her, “Ling’er, would you dare to become my Crown Princess?”

She was stunned!

What? The Crown Prince actually wanted to marry a rebellious woman like me, someone who had already divorced?

After a moment’s thought, she calmly replied, “If Your Highness dares to marry me, why wouldn’t I dare to marry you?”

She had no idea that the Crown Prince had been waiting ten years for this day.

She divorced her husband without hesitation, and just as everyone waited to see how miserably she would fare,

she turned around and married the lofty, universally beloved Crown Prince.

Later, riding the Crown Prince’s coattails, she commanded armies, dominated the battlefield, and seized control of the empire!
