Villainess heroine + mild male-lead angst

Su Ying is the legitimate daughter of the prime minister, beautiful and alluring, willful and domineering. She is determined to marry the Second Prince and even become empress. But everything is ruined when Xiao Yu jumps into the water to save her. Unwilling to spend her life married to a son of a concubine, Su Ying accidentally kills Xiao Yu. The emperor sentences her to death, bringing ruin upon her whole family. She's the textbook cannon-fodder supporting villainess, dying before the story even begins. She's just a stepping stone for the male lead, Xiao Yu, to fake his death, rise to power, and become emperor.

After being reborn, the wicked cannon-fodder heroine finds herself on her wedding day. Given a new life, should she treasure it, be a couch potato, and indulge in wine and women?

No. The heroine is going to rise to power too.

First step: divorce her husband! But why won't the male lead, Xiao Yu, leave no matter how badly she treats him?
