(An embarrassing relic of the past, my failed debut novel. Don't click, don't click!)
Young Master Xu brings home a younger sister, gets drunk, sleeps with her, then demands to make her his secondary wife.
After six years as a neglected wife, Shen Wan divorces him in open court. The emperor is so delighted he nearly smashes his throne!
He has secretly coveted his minister's wife for years, and never imagined he would get another chance with her.
But the Xu family covets Shen Wan's dowry and hires assassins to kill her! News of Shen Wan's death arrives just as the emperor is preparing the betrothal gifts to welcome her into the palace.
Heartbroken, the emperor has no idea that among the newly selected palace maids is another Shen Wan.
Her sights are set on the throne, second only to The Outcast and above all others. Only power can bring joy to those she loves and agony to her enemies.
The Xu family's true nightmare has begun. She intends to wipe out her former husband's entire clan!
