My Ex, Now Emperor, Took Revenge on Me

| The ex's revenge ended with them sharing a bed | They fight outside the covers, then make up under them |

As a young crown prince, his voice clear and captivating, he told Wen Qian, "If I could have Cousin as my wife, I'd keep you as my sole favorite in the palace."

The young man's vow was sincere and moving.

Time passed. Five years later.

The new emperor had been on the throne for two years. The empress's seat remained vacant, and he had no children.

That year, Wen Qian's betrothed died of illness, and her clan blamed her harshly.

Unexpectedly, her father suddenly rose to power again and offered her to her cousin, the current emperor, who made her a fifth-rank Beauty.

At twenty, Wen Qian fulfilled the playful promise of their youth and became her cousin's wife.

But when a malicious person exposed the elegy she had written for her late betrothed, her cousin smiled with amusement and read it aloud in front of her, as if it were nothing. When he finished, he seriously pointed out two dull, affected passages, advised her to cultivate herself by reading more, then said, "Cousin is so devoted. What man in the world wouldn't feel for you?"

There was a deeper meaning behind his words about feeling for her.

That night, he stayed over and showed her his "tenderness" until she became pregnant.

Later, he placed upon her head the "shackles" known as the phoenix crown, locking her in the palace for all her life.

It was his revenge, and his vow.

-Cousin, you really are awful.

-Cousin, you toyed with my feelings, so I'll toy with you. We're even.

A go-with-the-flow, falsely obedient heroine x a pure-hearted, dark and wicked scoundrel

-Reading guide-

1. [Both leads are sexually inexperienced] [Each has their own flaws] [Neither is truly virtuous]. Readers with many hard limits or who expect perfect protagonists should think carefully before starting. No need to tell me if you drop the story. Be kind, and you'll surely make a fortune!

2. The heroine isn't actually the male lead's cousin by blood. No further details, as that would spoil the story.

3. Apart from their sexual inexperience, no other guarantees. Alternate history; no historical accuracy checks, please. They are six months apart in age.
