That Dutiful Divorcée Is the Tyrant's Greatest Treasure

[Mutually devoted leads + sweet romance + the latecomer wins + possessive pursuit]

After a year of being left alone in her marriage, her husband brings home his pregnant mistress and tells her to make room.

Banished to the remote courtyard, Shen Yuwan comes across a man. She kindly saves him, never expecting him to say he wants to repay her with his whole self.

The general's daughter, raised by her father to be excessively conservative, is so frightened that she hastily tells him she is a married woman and cannot afford to be reckless.

He only smiles seductively. “That’s all right. I can be your mistress.”

As an honest, upright woman, she has never encountered anyone so shamelessly eager to throw himself at her and cling to her.

She wants to refuse, but his kisses leave her weak-kneed. She goes from passive to taking the initiative, falling completely for him.

He teaches her to fight back, to stand up for herself, and to make those who bullied her kneel and weep.

But one day, he suddenly disappears, and she is framed and sentenced to be drowned in a pig cage.

At the critical moment, a man in imperial robes appears, his face cold.

“I am the adulterer of my Wan’er. Who dares lay a hand on my empress?”

The emperor steals his subject’s wife. A ghostly, obsessive suitor kisses the honest woman until her legs go weak, then personally teaches her how to deliver face-slapping comeuppances and punish scoundrels.

At first, Shen Yuwan is his stolen pleasure. Later, she becomes the empress he marries in a proper wedding ceremony.

The male lead is a gloomy, ghostlike man and a cruel tyrant. The female lead is timid and honest, but she grows stronger as the story progresses.

Includes a little household intrigue and palace intrigue. The male lead helps the female lead fight her battles.
