Qu Jing Sheng wanted to marry Xu Tan. It had nothing to do with his rising status or handsome face.
She only wanted to marry so she could have a proper excuse to stop living with her princess mother.
But before Qu Jing Sheng could win Xu Tan over, her princess mother remarried first and decided to follow her new husband to his post, where she could enjoy the sights of Shu.
What a windfall!
Qu Jing Sheng promptly had her maid bring a brazier and burned both the letter she was about to send Xu Tan and every gift he had given her.
At last, she was going to live the carefree life of a young princess. Nobody better come meddling!

Xu Tan couldn't figure out why the girl's letter was late this time... three days, five days, eleven days, forty-seven days!
Oh, so the princess had remarried!
He hurried back to the capital, expecting to find a young princess consumed with worry. He'd even prepared words to comfort her.
But when they met, she looked at him as if he'd offended her and asked, "Who are you?"
Xu Tan: ...
He laughed in exasperation.
She used to call him Uncle. After deciding she would marry him, she called him General Xu. Now she was going with "Who are you?"
Fine! Just fine!
Just you wait!
One-on-one romance
Both leads are sexually inexperienced
They are not related by blood. "Uncle" is only a form of address
Next book: The Empress
In her third year in the palace, Gao Huiyi finally reined in her arrogant, overbearing ways and learned to be a virtuous empress worthy of all under heaven.
She also gave birth to the emperor's legitimate eldest son without a hitch.
On the day the child was made crown prince, Gao Huiyi was in high spirits and had a few too many drinks.
That night.
With bleary, drunken eyes, Gao Huiyi lay beneath the brocade canopy, patting a pillow as if it were her child and muttering nonstop. "Son, at last, your mother has something to look forward to. I wonder when that great monk will die. If he doesn't, he can just go back to being a monk... Mm, tomorrow I'll secretly send a big wooden fish to the Hall of Supreme Polarity. I refuse to believe that bastard won't be tempted!"
"Clang!"
The newly arrived Emperor Yuanjia accidentally pulled down a golden curtain hook.
After returning to secular life and ascending the throne, he had welcomed the notoriously arrogant woman into the palace as his empress.
Over their three years as husband and wife, they had argued and fought.
He watched her stumble along, earning a reputation for virtue, while she watched him learn to govern and keep the court in check.
By now they had both grown. They no longer quarreled, treated each other with respect, and had a child.
It was truly a good match for them both.
He had always thought she was happy with him, too.
Until he caught her mumbling in her sleep while drunk.
Theme: Never give up when trapped in a difficult situation
Jingzhi is such a good baby, so why not reconcile?
I'm convinced, your writing is so beautiful, much better than those on the so-called lists! I stopped writing! If you have any heart, I'm throwing it away!
When I saw the update two days ago, I had a premonition whether it would end suddenly like the previous book. Sure enough... There are still too few emotional scenes in this book. The change is a bit abrupt. Please write more extras!!
Oh my god, it's been updated. I've forgotten all the previous plots.
Explain in detail the Queen Chang Ninghou (it seems to be this name)
I'm really convinced... I paid the wrong price with my true feelings, and it ended like this.
Marrying the one you love is like winning a battle
Author, your plot arrangement is really good. Although I don't like the heroine as a princess mother very much, but I don't want her to be plotted by her brother to marry an important minister and be abandoned like a tool. Obviously her mother has the courage (selfishness + self-interest + brain) to survive. This kind of woman who is immersed in the palace intrigues will not be easily plotted. It's so exciting to bite an army back and forth!
If you can keep up with me, you must be in true love.
It's so well written. Please keep writing. Please. Has it been chasing for a year or two? I don't mind waiting another year or two as long as I continue writing the essay.
