The Grand Yu Empress Dowager made an announcement to the realm: The Divine Martial Emperor, born during the chaos of war all those years ago, was actually a woman. Now seventeen years old, she ordered every official in Huajing under the age of twenty-five to enter the palace for a selection of consorts (?). The whole realm was thrown into an uproar.
Wang Huanning, an eighth-rank official with a sweet, docile young wife at home, would rather die than comply, but he was still bound and dragged into the palace.
Lord Wang opened his eyes in humiliation, only to see a beauty on the dragon throne, a cup of wine in her left hand and the newly appointed top scholar in her right arm. She said to the eunuch beside her, "Not handsome enough. Bring me another."
Fury surged in Lord Wang's heart. He shouted, "A Cong, you don't recognize me?! Just yesterday, you were rubbing my legs!"
A dangerous look flashed in the beauty's eyes. "I am the Son of Heaven. How could I rub your legs? Man, you have successfully caught my attention."
Only then did Wang Huan realize that the sweet young wife he'd bought for three taels of silver had a split personality.
A shameless, timid, stingy Lord Wang who knows how to play it safe x A gentle, sweet wife, Xiao Cong, who is also the sharp-tongued, domineering Empress Li Cong
Reader's note: 1. This is not a female-dominance setting. The empress's reign is a historical accident. 2. The heroine has a split personality. While acting as empress, she has other consorts, but nothing happens between them. 3. This story is connected to the author's previous work, but you can read it on its own without any trouble.
Theme: The story of a split-personality empress having a baby
