Jiang Yunxi was reborn three days before her wedding.
In her previous life, she helped Xiao Yunting ascend the throne, only for the entire Jiang family to be executed.
This time, she smashed the jade token of their betrothal in front of everyone. “I would rather die than marry the Crown Prince!”
Then she turned and knelt before Xiao Tingshen, the Prince Regent. “Your Highness, are you in need of a princess consort?”
The ministers erupted in shock. Everyone knew the Prince Regent was the Crown Prince’s sworn enemy, a living demon whose name struck fear into all who heard it.
On their wedding night, Xiao Tingshen lifted her chin and chuckled. “Are you using me to get your revenge?”
She drew the dagger from his belt and pressed it to his throat. “Your Highness, aren’t you using me to eliminate your rivals, too?”
Later, the Golden Throne Hall ran red with blood, and Xiao Tingshen ascended the throne with the Crown Prince’s head beneath his foot.
In front of everyone, he tore up the divorce papers in her hand. “Where do you think you’re going, Empress? I won this empire for you. It’s your betrothal gift.”
