Li Jia thinks there’s something wrong with the whole dynasty. His father gave up his identity and the throne for a true love who went around preaching that everyone was equal, then ran off with her to roam the world.
After Li Jia’s rushed accession to the throne, his Consort Xian barges into his study and asks whether he believes in monogamy and a lifelong, exclusive love!
There’s also the son-in-law who publicly accuses the princess of being jealous and childless, demands permission to take a concubine, and even moves his parents into the princess’s residence so she has to pay her respects to them every morning and evening!
Then there’s the general who, after being presumed dead for five years, returns with the wife and six-year-old child he kept on the side. He even expects the wife who mourned him, cared for his parents, and supported his family to agree to let him marry the woman he brought back as a co-wife.
At the Prime Minister’s residence, a wet nurse switched the real and fake heiresses.
And then there’s the brainless Prince of Han, who mistakes the wrong woman for his lifesaver and wants his actual lifesaver, the princess, to use her own heart’s blood as medicine for a fake frail beauty, while the Princess of Han can’t even bring herself to explain the truth!!!
After a tiring day, Li Jia returns to the inner palace and discovers his empress is a man… Every single day is like this. Let it all burn.
