She Was Mocked as a Wicked Shrew After an Arranged Marriage, Yet She Seized the Throne and Became Empress

Though rumored to be a fearsome shrew, she was astonishingly beautiful. Her former fiancé regretted breaking off their engagement so much that he could have kicked himself.

After Qin Zhao called off the engagement with a flourish, all she wanted was to return to Jiangnan. But Lu Zheng, the carefree prince who was always saying he had "just happened to be passing by," kept turning up right in front of her.

He kept happening to pass by so often that she was starting to think she might not want to leave after all.
