Jiang Xiao's 20th Book

Just as Shen Lanyin was about to become a divorced woman, she accidentally slept with the current Crown Prince.

After the divorce.

Her ex-husband cornered her, eyes red: “Did you ever love me, even a little?”

Her awful former in-laws knelt at her feet: “Everything that happened before was our fault. We beg you to show mercy and spare the Fan clan.”

Her sisters-in-law wept bitterly: “Sister-in-law, we don’t want to be exiled to the frontier and forced to serve as camp prostitutes. Please, have pity on us!”

Even the woman who claimed she could turn the tides after she transmigrated into a book came to beg her: “Dear sister, I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have been the other woman and ruined your relationship with your husband. Please forgive me this once, and I’ll help you become empress. How about it?”

Yuwen Zhan had just become Crown Prince when an accident led him to sleep with a minister’s wife.

His first thought: I have to kill her.

His second thought: I’m the mighty Crown Prince. How could I become obsessed with another man’s wife?

His third thought: She wants a divorce. I have to help her.

His fourth thought: I’ve already started choosing consorts. Why does she keep trying to distance herself from me?

His fifth thought: No, I have to bring her to the Eastern Palace.

His sixth thought: The harem is fighting for favor so fiercely that people are dying. Why won’t she even spare me a glance?

His seventh thought: She still loves that scumbag ex-husband? Kill him, kill them all!
