You Asked for the Divorce. Now I Rule the World, So Why Do You Regret It?

[Revenge] [No System] [Unification] [Farming]

Li Yang transmigrated to the late Tang dynasty ten years ago. At the time, the empire was in chaos, with military governors everywhere waging war against one another.

Using his transmigrator’s golden finger, he poured his heart and soul into assisting Li Maozhen, military governor of Fengxiang, and his daughter. He helped Li Maozhen grow from a minor governor controlling just two prefectures into the Tang’s most powerful warlord, bringing him within a hair’s breadth of unifying the empire.

Later, when Li Maozhen fell gravely ill and died, he demanded that his only daughter, Li Wanting, marry Li Yang. But Li Wanting looked down on Li Yang’s low birth. The day after their wedding, she demanded a divorce, threw him in prison, and had him executed by slow slicing three days later.

Li Wanting thought Li Yang was just a dog she had raised, and that she would thrive even more without him. She never imagined she was nothing without him.

While Li Yang was there, Fengxiang’s army was at the height of its power, and no one in the realm dared challenge its might.

The surrounding warlords all submitted and paid tribute year after year.

After he was gone, they seized the opportunity to attack Fengxiang from all sides. Fengxiang was torn apart, its strength reduced to less than a fifth of what it had been.

Watching Fengxiang teeter on the brink of collapse, Li Wanting deeply regretted her choice and hoped to win Li Yang back.

But by then, Li Yang was riding high, and the Tang was on the verge of unifying the whole country. A new and mighty Tang dynasty was about to rise on the land of China.

Li Yang would become the nation’s new head of state.

The Tang’s fame would once again shake the world. Nations would flock to submit, and Tang banners would fly across the globe. The Tang Empire would become a sun-never-sets empire a thousand years ahead of schedule!

Li Yang: “You asked for the divorce. Now that I rule the world, what’s there to regret?”

Li Wanting wept bitterly, consumed by remorse.
