[A black-lotus heroine who either goes mad or trains men like dogs depending on her mood × a masochistic tyrant hero who wants to be disciplined every single day]
Content warning: Neither the male nor female lead is a virgin.

Lu Wanyin is a widow.
Her husband has been dead for four years, leaving her with a daughter and a son. She supports the marquis's household with the generous dowry she brought into the marriage.
Her daughter is neglected, while her adopted son hates her for reasons she can't understand.
Lu Wanyin works tirelessly, thinking her adopted son misses his mother and that's why he keeps his distance.
Then, on the day the mad emperor seizes her by force and smashes up Xie Chang'an's memorial hall, Lu Wanyin goes to seek help from her mother-in-law, only to accidentally hear her daughter's thoughts.
[Mother, don't be afraid. That scumbag father faked his death and disappeared so he could live happily with his mistress.]
[Big Brother isn't an orphan. He's the scumbag father's child with his mistress.]
[The mad emperor is your dog too. Just give him the nod and he'll protect you for the rest of your life. That's what happened in your previous life.]
Lu Wanyin comes to her senses, smashes Xie Chang'an's memorial tablet, and turns the marquis's household upside down.
She'd been deceived for four whole years, and even had to raise her husband's illegitimate child!
And the marquis's household still wants to mooch off her dowry.
So Lu Wanyin puts on a eunuch's clothes, barges into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and throws herself into the mad emperor's arms.
That day, Chu Zheng can't tell reality from a dream.
Why is his beloved suddenly throwing herself into his arms?
When word gets out that she has become his consort, her husband, who faked his death, goes red-eyed and rushes into the palace like a madman. But all he sees is Lu Wanyin embracing Chu Zheng.
Her ex-husband regrets everything and tearfully begs her to come back, only for Chu Zheng to kick him away.
“If you hadn't schemed against her back then, she would have been my wife long ago.”
But she was only using Chu Zheng, so how did he end up making her empress?
