[Second male lead takes the girl + husband chases his wife and gets his comeuppance + divorce + struggle for the throne + age gap]
[The heroine is ruthless. Don't judge her by normal moral standards.]
[Both leads are formidable throughout]
Ruthless, clear-headed heroine × drama-queen, ruthless, lovesick Crown Prince
After Shen Nan, a champion underground fighter, was killed when a friend betrayed her, she woke up in the body of a spineless matriarch who had been bullied to death by her husband's family.
The original owner had died of illness in her room.
Meanwhile, her scumbag husband was welcoming his new bride on their wedding night.
Short-tempered Shen Nan kicked down the bridal chamber door and beat the scumbag and his mistress to a pulp.
She then demanded a divorce, but the scumbag's head had apparently been knocked loose, because he refused.
Fine, then she'd beat him until he agreed.
After the divorce, her own family didn't want her to come home.
She didn't care. She'd planned to let loose and live for herself, but instead she picked up a clingy, handsome young man.
After spending a few months all over each other, she got bored and wanted to send him away.
Who could have guessed the young man was actually the missing Crown Prince, and that he wanted to marry her as his Crown Princess?
She wasn't interested, so the Crown Prince cried.
Unable to stand seeing a beauty cry, she had no choice but to give in for now.
Later, she discovered that the little lamb of a Crown Prince was surrounded by wolves, all of them out to kill him.
She only meant to lend him a hand, but somehow ended up helping herself onto the throne as empress.
Later, she discovered that this delicate flower could kill without batting an eye. He was a man-eating flower through and through.
And yet he still looked so pitiful.
Crown Prince: “Sister Nan, will you abandon me?”
Shen Nan: “We'll see.”
Crown Prince: “Waaah... Sister, you can't just walk away without taking responsibility...”
Shen Nan: “You're the Crown Prince now. Watch your image...”
Crown Prince: “Even the Crown Prince is afraid of being abandoned...”
“Sister... I'll behave... Don't leave.”
