After My Divorce, I Became Empress

[Both leads are devoted only to each other + childhood sweethearts + a touch of ensemble cast]

(A seemingly gentle but actually ruthless, unhinged villain versus a seemingly cool-headed and self-possessed but actually lovesick golden retriever)

Gu Jinyu was once the most dazzling legitimate daughter of the Chancellor’s household. She and Crown Prince Li Moyun grew up together, innocent and inseparable. But then disaster struck: the empress died suddenly, and the Eastern Palace teetered on the brink of collapse. To protect themselves, the Gu family forced her to marry into another powerful household. From then on, she cut off her feelings and became a wife of the aristocracy.

Years later, she returns from the ashes of her divorce, vowing to make everyone who betrayed her pay.

And at last, the cold-blooded emperor on the throne gets his beloved back.

“Ah Yu, this realm belongs to you, and so do I.”

We were all crushed by fate, then placed crowns upon each other with our own hands.

There was once a celebrated story in Shangjing. The five most outstanding children in the capital shone as brilliantly as fireworks, only to fall into the darkness just as they did.

The once-arrogant crown prince was placed under house arrest; of the capital’s famed beauties, one was forced to marry and the other exiled and left to flee; the Xie family’s genius young master gave his life in a foreign land; and the young girl doted on by them all was abandoned by her parents, her fate unknown.

The prodigies of yesterday were ground into the dust overnight. One was humiliated and died, while the other four guarded their shared secret and lay low for years. At last, their era came again. From then on, they would settle every score and repay every grievance!

(A fictional dynasty. The leads are not blood-related, and the male lead is not the empress’s biological son.)
