On Our Wedding Night, I Asked the Prince to Divorce Me

On her wedding night, Xie Yunshu drank a cup of poisoned wine and only then learned that her husband, Xiao Jue, had married her to seize the Xie family’s military power. When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the bridal chamber. Before her veil had even been lifted, she divorced her husband in front of everyone. Then she turned and caught the sleeve of Xiao Yan, the Prince of Yong and the God of War. “Your Highness, dare you take me with you?” The whole capital said she was mad. She had abandoned her title as a prince’s consort to throw in her lot with the cold-blooded, murderous Prince of Yong, who was fated to die young. But no one knew that Xiao Yan had been reborn too. In his previous life, he had died on the battlefield. In this one, he swore to turn the world upside down. He needed a blade; she needed a mountain to lean on. So the discarded consort became his sharpest strategist, and the God of War became her strongest support. At a palace banquet, she identified the poisonous incense and exposed the Imperial Consort’s false face. On a trip to Jiangnan, she seized evidence from the flames and brought down a vast network of treason. When the northern frontier fell into chaos, she marched north with the army, her sword aimed at the blood feud with her birth father. Beneath the imperial throne, Xiao Yan took her hand and proclaimed to the world: “In this life, I shall betray neither the land nor her.” From discarded consort of Prince Jing to the apple of Prince Yong’s eye. In this life, she would trample the faithless man beneath her feet and help her God of War rule the world.
