【Ancient-era ABO, female Alpha with no cheat abilities, chasing-wife-then-crematorium, cold-hearted empress dowager goes mad with love】
On a snowy night, just as Lu Qing was about to freeze to death after being turned into a beggar, an elderly nun from a convent rescued her.
Inside the convent, the disfigured former empress Xie Jianwei had suffered a qi deviation while practicing and been poisoned. She needed a Qianyuan to neutralize the poison.
The elderly nun gritted her teeth and sent Lu Qing into the room.
After they spent one night together, Xie Jianwei falsely claimed to be the only daughter of a wealthy merchant and asked if Lu Qing would marry into her family.
Grateful for being saved, Lu Qing didn’t mind her wife’s ruined appearance. She was considerate and obedient in every way.
Three months later, the poison had completely transferred into Lu Qing’s body. Xie Jianwei regained her beauty and prepared to leave.
But an assassination attempt came without warning. Lu Qing instinctively shielded her wife from a sword, leaving her on the brink of death.
“Taking her with you will only give your enemies leverage,” her trusted aide advised.
Xie Jianwei gritted her teeth and abandoned her.
Later, a new emperor ascended the throne, and Xie Jianwei became the empress dowager who ruled from behind the curtain.
At the Qionglin Banquet, the “deceased wife” who should have been long dead appeared as the new top graduate in the imperial examinations.
Yet Lu Qing remained distant despite the empress dowager’s repeated advances.
Before long, the court realized that the usually cold and heartless empress dowager was taking an unusual interest in the new top graduate. Today she summoned her to admire paintings, tomorrow she invited her for a stroll in the garden, and she even went in person to block her way at the duty room.
Lu Qing lowered her eyes and said respectfully, “This subject is already married. Empress Dowager, please show some restraint.”
Then, one night, the empress dowager hosted a banquet and tampered with the wine.
Behind the red curtains, Lu Qing tore open the empress dowager’s robes. After a night of passion, the cruel truth came to light.
“Ha ha ha… So my dead wife… is still alive! Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!”
She laughed, but her tears fell onto the empress dowager’s heart, each one cutting like a knife.
At court the next morning, Lu Qing submitted her resignation.
As the ministers erupted in an uproar, the empress dowager’s distraught voice rang out from behind the beaded curtain:
“No! Lu Qing, you’re not allowed to leave!”
Only then did the entire court realize
This wasn’t the empress dowager forcing herself on someone. It was a faithless Kunze facing a chasing-wife-then-crematorium arc!

Recommended upcoming novel: “My Wife Can’t Possibly Be a Huanxi Sect Enchantress”
Synopsis: Lu Zhaoxue transmigrates into the role of a radiant, peerless senior sister of a sect. On a snowy night, she finds a little white fox on the verge of death and takes it home.
She raises it at her side as a spirit pet, protecting and pampering it, even letting it sleep by her pillow.
Little does she know that behind those innocent fox eyes lies the soul of Yun Zhuo, the Huanxi Sect’s young mistress, who was struck by heavenly tribulation and returned to her original form. Her only reason for getting close to this talented sword cultivator is to refine her into the perfect cauldron and drain her cultivation.
Yun Zhuo goes to great lengths: she pretends to be in danger so Lu Zhaoxue will risk her life to protect her, stages a sacrificial rescue so she can take a lethal blow meant for Lu Zhaoxue, and, on countless nights, uses demonic arts to weave tender traps and lure her into spending night after night in her arms.
Lu Zhaoxue gradually falls for her, becoming deeply attached until her Dao heart falters.
In the end, she accepts twelve bolts of heavenly lightning to become dao companions with the little fox, crippling most of her cultivation.
Then, one day, the Huanxi Sect launches a coordinated attack from within and without.
The Tianyan Sect, which Lu Zhaoxue had protected, collapses. Her master’s cultivation is crippled, and all her fellow disciples are imprisoned.
Standing before the fallen mountain gate, Lu Zhaoxue watches her “beloved pet,” now restored to her true form as a bewitching demoness, smiling enchantingly amid the enemy ranks.
Before all those watching, she draws her sword and takes her own life, shattering her Dao heart and devoting herself to the heartless path.
A hundred years later, Lu Zhaoxue is the leader of the righteous path, her sword holding the Eight Desolations at bay. Cold and detached, she allows no one near.
Yun Zhuo, now head of the Huanxi Sect, seeks her out once more. She takes the form of a mortal woman who sells tea, brews a pot of warm tea, and smiles just as she used to. “Miss immortal, would you be willing to spend a lifetime as an ordinary married couple with me?”
Lu Zhaoxue lowers her eyes and drinks the tea. They spend their days together as if she had forgotten everything from the past.
Until their wedding night, when they bow to each other.
Lu Zhaoxue’s Snow-Forged Sword, which had slain countless demons, pierces Yun Zhuo’s dantian without warning.
“This time,” Lu Zhaoxue says, her voice colder than snow, “I’ll do it myself. I’ll kill my wife to prove the Dao.”
A hundred years later, the entire cultivation world witnesses an astonishing sight
A chubby little child, with delicate features like a young immortal, has made her way alone to the peak of Tianyan Sect.
She tugs at the hem of Lu Zhaoxue’s moon-white robe, tips up her face, and calls out in a clear, sweet voice, “Mama!”
And Lu Zhaoxue, the sect leader whose heartless Dao has made her feared throughout the Eight Desolations, actually answers in a soft voice.
Theme: Wherever you are, never forget your original aspirations.
Can the hamstring be reattached? If not, just be. Thank you, that's so cruel.
I have to say, the Xie family is really ruthless [Three Flower Cat Head]
I really don't know how this can come true. It's a bit too miserable. I'll be honest. I gave up the entire tribe for you, and was tortured to a disability, but I still love you. After reading it, I feel that Yelv Xue must have tried every means to seek death. I don't understand why Xie Ruoyu hates her so much. Although Yelv Xue cheated, she was really good to Xie Ruoyu. It's enough. I really feel sorry for her [covering her face and laughing]
There's no need to make it so miserable. I really feel sorry for this love brain.
Is there no parallel world episode?
The Xie family is really good at it [Sanhua Cat Head]
It's a bit too tragic, Yelvxue just committed suicide [laughing and crying]
This is too cruel. I have loved HE all my life and want to support them both in BE [covering my face and laughing]
It's really romantic, but it's pretty good. Hahahaha. Master of dog training!
