Great Tang: To Claim Yang Yuhuan, Send Li Longji to His Grave

After transmigrating to the twenty-eighth year of the Kaiyuan era of the Tang Dynasty, I became Li Mao, Prince of Shou, the "greatest cuckold in history."

Emperor Li Longji ordered me to divorce Yang Yuhuan. How was that any different from outright stealing her?

As a modern man, how could I possibly hand my own wife over to someone else, especially when she was one of the Four Great Beauties?

So Li Mao began playing the part of a loyal subject and dutiful son. He proposed sending Yang Yuhuan to a Taoist temple under the Seven Grounds for Divorce, where she would atone for a year. In secret, throughout that year, Li Mao gave all the money he earned in business to Li Longji, recruited troops and gathered horses, and created delicious dishes for generations to come. Using the principles of food incompatibility, he secretly poisoned Li Longji. He also gathered beauties from across the realm, claiming he was helping Li Longji ease his lovesickness, while secretly luring him into a life of sensual indulgence.

By the time Li Longji was on the brink of death, it was already too late for regrets.

They say Li Mao was Yang Yuhuan's true love, while Li Longji was her bread and butter. In that case, all I can do is send Li Longji to his grave and keep Yang Yuhuan and the empire for myself.
