Matriarchy: The Tyrant Empress's Canary

[Strong heroine + yandere + regret and redemption + unhinged + sweet and angsty]

This is an ancient empire where women hold power and men are inferior, so men are so weak they can only survive by relying on women.

Luo Chen is the legitimate son of the Luo family. Born into a prominent clan, he has enjoyed a life of luxury since childhood and has a simple nature. He was chosen to be the husband of the Second Princess.

But he never expected that, because of a struggle for the throne, his fiancée would fall from power and he would be forced into a pleasure house.

Yet on the night before Luo Chen was sent to the Taoxiang Courtyard, a message suddenly came from the palace, summoning him there.

That night, Luo Chen saw the Second Princess, covered in wounds, and the new emperor who had reclaimed control of the country.

The once frail and sickly Eldest Princess, Nan Tingyi.
