Forced into the Pond to Drown, the Legitimate Daughter Is Reborn and Tears Up Her Marriage Contract, Overturning the Dynasty

In her previous life, her cruel husband and white-lotus half-sister conspired to frame her and drown her in a pig cage, killing both her and her unborn child. Reborn, she tears up the imperial decree and marries the crippled God of War instead. With every step carefully planned, she sends her former husband’s entire family to the execution block, then smiles in the arms of a powerful minister as her ex’s ashes scatter!

Mu Qinglan met a grisly end.

As the late emperor’s chosen future empress, she had been married to Lu Jingyao, heir to the Marquis of Anping, for five whole years, pouring her heart and soul into helping him rise through the ranks. But just before Lu Jingyao was to be appointed Prince Regent, his vicious mother-in-law tricked her into going to a deserted courtyard under the pretense of praying for blessings. After forcing her to take a drug that sapped her strength, they threw her into a woodshed and had her “caught in the act.”

For the sake of the so-called “honor of the marquis’s household,” Lu Jingyao callously ordered her stuffed into a pig cage and drowned, never mind that she was three months pregnant.

Just before the icy water closed over her head, her half-sister Mu Xuerou stroked her belly and laughed wildly. “Dear sister, that beggar who supposedly violated you was hired by Jingyao himself. Only if you die in disgrace can I take your destined place as empress and marry him with my reputation spotless!”

So their five years of apparent devotion had all been a scheme!

Consumed by boundless hatred, Mu Qinglan was reborn on the day before the late emperor arranged her marriage.

This time, she tore up the marriage contract in front of everyone, kicked her scumbag ex to the curb, and turned around to marry the “living King of Hell,” Dingxiang Prince Huo Zhanting, whose legs had been crippled and face disfigured on the northern frontier. He was a bloodthirsty monster, or so they said.

The whole capital laughed at Mu Qinglan for losing her mind. Instead of becoming the future empress, she was marrying a volatile cripple and throwing her life away.

But later, Huo Zhanting not only shed his disguise and rose from his wheelchair, he also led a million troops through the palace gates and cherished her above all others, making her the most esteemed Princess Regent in Great Chu.
