On the day of her wedding, Su Wanqing, the only daughter of the Northern Defender General, discovered that the so-called perfect husband was nothing but a scheme.
Gu Changfeng had used her father's influence to climb the ranks, only to make his childhood sweetheart a favored concubine.
After three years confined to a cold courtyard, she faced a dead end: her mother-in-law wanted to install a co-wife and take her daughter's life.
On a rainy night, she knelt and begged the imperial physician for help, only to be seized against the imperial desk by a man in imperial robes. A smoldering fire burned in his eyes. “Serve me for the rest of your life, and I will grant you everything.”
The reborn Emperor Xiao Jingyu returned with memories of his past life. He watched as she shed her gentle mask to protect her young daughter, breaking her proud spirit and joining forces with a tiger.
At a night banquet in the Liang residence, he publicly bestowed upon her a unique jar of jade-skin ointment.
At a feast for the officials, a second-rank seat was left empty for her husband.
When a spring dream became reality, Su Wanqing finally realized that the unfinished passion on the imperial bed that night had been inevitable from the moment he was reborn.
He wanted to free her from her shackles, but he also wanted her in a phoenix crown and bridal robes, the most honored captive in the land.
If you like watching female rivalry, you can read this book in depth. The heroine reconciles with the scumbag in the last few chapters. The ending is very hasty.
