[Court Intrigue at the Core, with Everyday Child-Rearing]
A level-headed heroine, a goofy hero, a twisted male rival, and three adorable children.
Xie Jin entered the Eastern Palace at sixteen, became empress at twenty, and died of illness at twenty-seven.
When she woke again, she had become the wife of Zhao Minghuai, General of the Western Garrison. On their wedding night, Zhao Minghuai left behind a useful little seed before setting off to war, and was gone for six years.
Xie Jin gave birth to three daughters. She lived a peaceful life with her girls and mother-in-law, until news arrived from the front that Zhao Minghuai had gone missing. Xie Jin began putting her plans into action, only to find herself facing her former husband, Lu Changyun, once more.
She fought while retreating, and he pressed her at every turn. Fine, then, she would see it through to the end!
Zhao Minghuai knew how to do little besides fight, and his heart belonged entirely to Lu Changyun.
But when his soul left his body, he witnessed the entire battle of wits between the emperor and empress, and was shocked to hear that Lu Changyun wanted him dead.
After returning to the capital, Zhao Minghuai pretended to be crazy and foolish. He wanted to resign and return to the village, far from Lu Changyun, while also trying to find a way to divorce. After all, having seen the late empress's boundless wisdom, he knew better than to cross her and only wanted to keep his distance.
Lu Changyun unleashed one deadly move after another, while Xie Jin protected him at every turn. Zhao Minghuai couldn't help being drawn to her, and between putting on an act and starting a rebellion, he chose to keep making babies with his wife.
Nice!!!!
