The Obsessed New Emperor Breaks His Vows, but the Principal Wife Is Done Playing

[Kept woman + scheming to become a widow + sexually inexperienced heroine + clear-eyed heroine + the emperor steals his subject’s wife]

Su Xueyan is the only daughter of the richest man in the realm. She and Shen Xiulin grew up together, but on their wedding night, before they could consummate their marriage, he received an imperial decree ordering him to repel foreign invaders.

At the same time, Su Xueyan has a nightmare: their world is a storybook.

Shen Xiulin is the male lead. After five years at war, he returns victorious with three sons and a daughter, as well as a mistress who has been with him for five years.

To spare his mistress from being treated unfairly and keep her children from becoming illegitimate, he even wants to make her his co-wife.

Su Xueyan refuses. But after the old madam of the general’s residence gets a grandson, she immediately changes her tune and tries to persuade Su Xueyan to be magnanimous.

Su Xueyan manages the general’s household for years and spends most of her dowry on it, only for no one to appreciate her efforts.

To keep the father who dotes on her from being dragged into it,

she has no choice but to agree.

The mistress seems frail but is wicked at heart. She lures a maid into betraying them and secretly slips something into the food. In less than half a year, Su Xueyan falls gravely ill and dies.

The mistress then naturally becomes the general’s wife.

She is no innocent flower, though. She is a spy lying in wait.

Later, she kills the three children she bore herself to pass along a message.

In the end, she even steals a map of the border defenses.

Shen Xiulin dies on the battlefield because he trusted the wrong person, and the entire Shen family is executed.

After waking from the dream, Su Xueyan can hardly believe it.

But as events unfold, she has no choice but to accept the truth.

To save herself, she secretly makes arrangements. Later, while visiting a temple to pray, she even hooks up with a young monk to unwind.

At last Shen Xiulin returns, and she pays the young monk off.

Afterward, the young monk climbs over her courtyard wall several times, and she tries to send him away.

But at a palace banquet, she sees the young monk sitting on the throne.

Good heavens, this is madness!

A slow-paced story!
