Reborn, I Married the Male Lead's Father

[Novel Blurb]

In her previous life, Fu Jiuji worked herself to the bone, backing a prince and winning his favor in hopes of becoming empress. But after he became emperor, he turned on her and cast her aside.

This time, Fu Jiuji decides she won't waste her efforts on that kind of thankless task again. She'll enter the palace and claim the throne herself, then make that ungrateful, two-faced wolf greet her as Mother every day.

Maid: You even cried and begged him not to leave.

Fu Jiuji, looking utterly despairing: Are you talking about me?

Maid: You also wiped your tears and snot on him...
