The Empress Is Actually the Discarded Wife of That Marquis's Household

Chu Jintong was an orphan who worked hard for many years, finally founding her own company in her thirties. At the height of her success, she unexpectedly transmigrated to a dynasty that had never existed in history.

She thought she had a family in this life, only to discover that the parents who had cherished her for years were not really hers.

With her false identity, she married the heir of the Dingyuan Marquis’s household, her childhood sweetheart, who had sworn he would marry no one but her.

After the wedding, she cared for the household and hid her true nature, becoming the most gentle and virtuous matriarch in the capital. Four years into their marriage, they had no children, yet her husband still treated her as he always had.

Only when the truth was laid bare before her did she realize that her entire life had been an illusion.

If everything was false, then why keep any of it?

She never expected that even as a divorced woman, she would still be pursued.

“Your Highness, what do you like about me? I’ll change it, all right?”

Xiao Jue was the emperor’s most beloved nephew, the noble Prince of Lin'an.

But rumors said he loved men, and he had even declared that he would never marry.

Until he heard that the heir of the Dingyuan Marquis’s household, praised by everyone, had become involved with another woman.

He thought of the woman in the Marquis’s back courtyard.

The heart he had already given up on began to stir again.

If that man was blind and didn’t cherish her, then Xiao Jue had no reason to feel guilty about taking advantage of the situation.

There were many things he couldn’t do, but stealing someone else’s sweetheart was his specialty.

He exposed the affair.

He spread rumors.

He found the evidence.

“You didn’t cherish her when you had the chance. Why beg her now?”
