Brilliant, unhinged deposed empress x proud emperor who chases his wife
Su Tang transmigrates into the body of a deposed empress and decides to go crazy.
When the emperor visits the Cold Palace, she curses him out while staring at a cockroach. When his favorite consort sends her bird's nest soup, she dumps it on the ground and files a complaint with the emperor. When the matron tries to teach her the rules, she writes A Survival Guide to the Cold Palace. The walls are plastered with notices: "No entry for the emperor or dogs."
The emperor can take no more and drags her out. "What do you want?"
Su Tang hands him a divorce agreement. "Sign it. Split the property with me. You can keep the throne, and I'll take the harem. And here's a bonus tip: the favorite consort's brother is raising an army of a hundred thousand private soldiers at the border."
The emperor's pupils contract. "Who are you, really?"
Su Tang smooths her hair, which she hasn't combed in three years, and smiles. "I'm the woman you'll never figure out. Goodbye, ex-husband."
She turns and walks away, her back looking carefree. The emperor runs after her. "Stop!"
Su Tang looks back and raises a finger to her lips. "Shh. Her Majesty is off the clock today."
