[Chasing His Wife to the Crematorium + Taking Her by Force + All the Angsty Drama] [He stages a coup to seize power and take by force the woman who once loved him as if he were everything] Lu Qingzhu is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's household. She married Meng Huairen, heir to the Duke of Ningguo's household. Her husband is upright and refined, highly esteemed by His Majesty, and the very model of a noble young gentleman. One month into their marriage, the couple are inseparable, as close as can be. Who could have guessed that a sudden coup would break out in the palace? Prince Rong, who had nearly single-handedly brought the realm to peace, ascended the throne, and the entire Duke of Ningguo's household, which had supported the Crown Prince, was thrown into prison. At that time, the cold and ruthless emperor summoned her to the palace, lifted her chin with a fingertip, and told her: “If you want to save your husband, then become my consort!” . Lu Qingzhu had loved one man desperately for decades: That man was Prince Rong, the emperor's fifth son, a celebrated first-rank general, and the one she had always cherished in her heart. Unfortunately, he loved someone else, and that someone was not her. She took a blade for him, earning a chance to catch his attention, and succeeded in becoming engaged to him. But half a month before their wedding, when forced to choose between the woman he loved and Lu Qingzhu, he chose his beloved and abandoned Lu Qingzhu at the brink of death. She was rescued by the heir to the Duke of Ningguo's household. He was gentle and kind, and would always blush whenever he saw her. So she broke off her engagement to Prince Rong and married the man who is now her husband. She was happy! But who could have known that the man who once cast her aside at death's door would later stage a coup and take the throne, committing every kind of heartless deed in the eyes of the world, all just to tell her: He regretted it! But she no longer cared!
