After Three Years as a Slave, the Scheming Crown Prince and I Turned the Capital Upside Down

[Court Intrigue and Household Battles + Healing Each Other + Playing the Fool to Catch the Tiger + A Patient, Powerful Heroine]

Nie Qingmeng was once Kyoto's most spoiled and carefree young lady. But after her entire family was unjustly executed, she became a lowly servant at the Marquis of Dingbei's estate, scrubbing chamber pots.

After enduring three years, she finally managed to get the emperor to order a new marriage match for her.

The young marquis who had once professed his love for her sneered in front of everyone: “With her status now, she probably isn't even qualified to be a concubine.”

Later, she married Kyoto's famously spineless crown prince.

Everyone laughed at her misfortune, lining up to watch them make fools of themselves.

But who could have guessed that these two fellow sufferers would build happier and happier lives together?

When they met again, the young marquis's eyes were red as he choked out, “If you divorce him now, I'll marry you as my principal wife. What do you say?”

“Who wants to be your principal wife? By the rules, you have to bow down to me and kowtow three times for every nine steps.”
