After My Divorce, I Became Empress, and the Cold-Faced Marquis Can't Stop Loving Me

[Both leads are faithful × revenge × family and palace intrigue × powerful allies]

[Beautiful, clever, and neglected princess × aloof marquis who stands just below the Emperor and above all others]

Shu Ning is the least favored princess of Xiling. With a wave of his hand, the Emperor betroths her to the capital's most good-for-nothing playboy.

When she refuses to consummate the marriage on their wedding night, her in-laws brand her "impure."

Her husband looks down on her. After they marry, he spends his days at brothels, surrounded by women. In less than three days, he takes a concubine, and Shu Ning becomes the laughingstock of the entire capital.

Her in-laws seize the farms and shops granted by the Emperor.

They take possession of her dowry.

She tries to speak up for herself, but no one will listen to her explanation. In the end, her husband and his concubine imprison her at a country estate and torment her day after day.

Here, everyone can trample Shu Ning underfoot.

Going hungry, freezing, and being beaten have long since become routine for her.

In those sunless days, hatred for her in-laws is all that sustains her. If no one will pity or love her, then she will trample them all underfoot.

Only she can decide her own fate.

Her hatred piled up like a mountain. After narrowly escaping death, she returns to the capital determined to take revenge.

This time, she will reclaim everything that belongs to her.

If imperial power is unjust and no one can rule Xiling's vast realm, then she will become Emperor herself and look down upon its magnificent rivers and mountains.

Shu Ning: "I want the throne. I want the whole realm to bow before me."

Xiao Yu: "I'll clear every obstacle from your path. My only condition is that you marry me."

Shu Ning: "You're mistaken, Marquis. I am the sovereign. If anyone is to marry, it will be you marrying me."
