On My Way to Get Married, I Found Out My Husband-to-Be Had Been Disgraced

Zhao Lingwei, the Princess of Jinyue County, had three wishes.

First, to ruin her own reputation so that the marriage envoys who came from various countries would think twice before proposing to her.

But she failed, because in the eyes of the Western Regions, having many male confidants was a sign of tremendous charm.

Second, to help her father ascend the throne. Surely the daughter of the crown prince couldn't be sent off to marry into another country?

But she could.

Since fate had it this way, then...

If she was going to do it, she would go all out! She was going to be queen!

To win the favor of her future husband, Zhao Lingwei began writing love letters before her wedding to the Wei crown prince, who was rumored to have a terrifying, monstrous face.

Unexpectedly, on the way to her marriage, she received news that her husband had been deposed and his fate was unknown!

Zhao Lingwei: ...

But she refused to give up! She turned to the lover she'd picked up along the road and said solemnly:

Darling, your eyes are the same glassy color as the Wei crown prince's. Why don't you pretend to be him, and we can rule together and take Wei back? It doesn't matter who the Wei crown prince is. What matters is that I become queen.

The Wei crown prince she'd picked up retrieved the love letter that read, "I will follow you to the death and never leave you," and fell into deep thought.

I Must Get a Divorce Letter

As the daughter of a great general, Lan Sixue had a dream ever since she was little:

To marry a great hero who could hold up the heavens and stand firm on the earth when she grew up!

But instead, she was betrothed to Xu Ting, the foolish son of her father's old friend.

Lan Sixue thought he was weak and nothing like a great hero.

Xu Ting thought she was neither gentle nor pretty, and as fierce as a demon.

Unexpectedly, before they could consummate their marriage, Xu Ting was sent west to fight, and was gone for seven years.

For seven years, Lan Sixue followed the news from the west day after day. She fell for her childhood friend, who was gradually becoming famous throughout the land, and got along wonderfully with her husband's family.

So the man I married is the great hero I've always wanted!

By then, Lan Sixue had become an armed female general serving the empress. Taking advantage of an assignment from the empress, she approached her husband, who was about to return to the capital, hoping to ease her longing for him.

That night, they were swept up in passion and nearly went all the way.

But when Xu Ting spoke, he asked her name!

It turned out that her husband had not only failed to recognize his own wife, but had fallen in love at first sight with her while she was disguised as a dancer, and wanted to marry her!

Marry me?

I'll show you marry!

I'll trick you into giving me a divorce letter, and then you can forget about having either a wife or a concubine!

Disguised as a dancer, Lan Sixue turned to Xu Ting and gave him a beguiling smile.

"Darling, though I'm of humble birth, I won't be a concubine. If you want to marry me, divorce the woman at home first."
