Married Again to My Scumbag Ex's Emperor Nephew

Bottom's perspective:

Fu Yuanqing was twenty-seven that year.

He came from the water towns of Jiangnan. As a young man, he had gone to the capital with high hopes to marry, only to be scorned by his husband on their wedding day and become the laughingstock of the entire capital.

For over a decade after their marriage, he never fought or made trouble. He served his elders, raised the children, and kept the household in harmony, fulfilling all the duties of a Prince Duan's consort.

After years of exhausting himself with worry and labor, he became gravely ill before even reaching thirty.

His husband, famous for his good looks, spent every night in revelry, while he could only suffer alone in his empty room.

As he lay dying, he wanted to enjoy himself just once.

The young man's body was firm and warm. His vigorous vitality was the only comfort Fu Yuanqing had in his illness. As if addicted, while the husband he had married in name only stood outside the door, Fu Yuanqing and the young man indulged in a frenzied affair inside, the thrill of revenge sweeping through him.

He knew that if anyone discovered this forbidden relationship, they would both be killed. So after giving in to their desires, he took the initiative to end it, treating it as nothing more than a brief fling.

But one day, at a family banquet in the imperial palace, he looked up and saw the man he'd been sleeping with. Beneath the new emperor's ceremonial crown, his eyes were intense and piercing, fixed firmly on Fu Yuanqing.

Scum top's perspective:

To secure the throne, he had actively sought a man to take as his primary consort. But after their wedding, he couldn't get aroused by his wife's body. As time passed, his wife could no longer endure it and asked for a divorce, but he refused. So he found a Kunlun slave to seduce his wife.

The two of them had an affair right in front of him, and he discovered, to his shame, that he was aroused.

By the time he realized he had fallen deeply in love with his wife after all those years together, that person was already dressed in a bright red wedding robe and married to the cheap nephew he'd just found.

Top's perspective:

The Kunlun slave wore chains. The first time someone removed his shackles, it was to send him to seduce the dull, withered wife of a prince in a grand estate.

The second time someone removed his shackles, it was because he was the emperor's only legitimate son, who had been lost to the world, and was now ascending the throne.

If that was the case, then his beautiful, wanton Ninth Imperial Aunt was destined to be his.
