Blurb:

Tang Wanzhou is an unknown constable in Huachao City. Driven by poverty, she takes a private job that requires sneaking into a brothel to investigate.

Who could have guessed she'd run into the Crown Prince conducting a secret deal? She was fired, and the dragon-and-phoenix white jade pendant her parents left her was taken away.

By chance, she discovers that the pendant is connected to a treasure map that appeared in the martial world more than ten years ago. Her parents, who vanished without a trace back then, are also closely connected to it.

And the Crown Prince seems to know something about the connection.

So Tang Wanzhou sticks to him...

At first.

Lu Zhaoyi: "As a woman, do you have any idea what it means to be demure?"

Tang Wanzhou: "The dignified Crown Prince of the current dynasty goes to brothels, and now you're lecturing me about being demure?"

Some time later.

Lu Zhaoyi: "Now that we're husband and wife in name, do you know what it means to obey the Three Obediences and Four Virtues?"

Tang Wanzhou: "We were just pretending for a while. Don't get carried away."

Some time after that.

Lu Zhaoyi, bare-chested: "Turn around."

Tang Wanzhou, who's seen plenty of corpses: "Like I'd care. It's not as if I've never seen a bare-chested man."

Lu Zhaoyi: "Who else have you seen?!"

Tang Wanzhou: "None of your business."

After they marry.

Lu Zhaoyi: "Crown Princess, please mind your words and actions."

Tang Wanzhou: "I've prepared your divorce papers. When do you have time to sign them?"

Lu Zhaoyi: "My beloved consort can do and say whatever makes her happy."

----Blurb for The Regent Regretted It After I Divorced Him----

Pei Zhaodi is the youngest daughter of the General Who Guards the Nation. At the Huachao Festival, she falls in love at first sight with Regent Lin Baisu, and pursues him so ardently that the whole city hears about it.

After an accident, she gets her wish and marries Lin Baisu. She puts down her spear, casts aside her armor, and devotes herself to cooking, believing that this will win Lin Baisu's heart.

But an infertility potion brings her back to reality.

Men can't be relied on. Better to build a career.

From then on, Great Chu has a new female general.

When Lin Baisu sees the martial arts marriage contest, he brings his men to surround the platform.

"Zhaodi, come back with me."

Pei Zhaodi gives a cold laugh.

"Go back? Where to? Have you forgotten, Your Highness? I divorced you long ago."

Lin Baisu joins the martial arts marriage contest. After winning, he's about to take her home when Pei Zhaodi pulls her hand away and points at the sign.

"Your Highness, read it carefully. It says in black and white, 'The final say in this martial arts marriage contest belongs to General Pei.' I, General Pei, am not getting married now!"

Lin Baisu says, "I can't read," and carries her home...
