What If Getting Cheated On Could Win Me the Throne?

[Blurb]

Prince Xiao Yan swore to claim the throne.

His newlywed princess consort was peerlessly beautiful, stunning enough to topple kingdoms. She was gentle and obedient toward him, and devoted to him without reservation.

Xiao Yan was immensely proud of her and doted on his wife.

But one day, at a family banquet, his father, the emperor, now over sixty, kept casting glances at his daughter-in-law...

Xiao Yan began turning the matter over in his mind: If being cuckolded could get him the throne, it might be a pretty good deal.

Later, it was her own husband who finally made Consort Xiang Sangyu grow up in a single night. So this was all those vows of eternal love and passion that supposedly lasted forever: nothing but a fleeting illusion.

[Keywords] This is a cathartic novel about punishing scumbag men. The woman suffers first, then the man. The male lead has warped values and is a villain. Do not imitate him.

[In a nutshell] A crematorium where he is burned straight to ashes. Love that comes too late is worth less than grass. The heroine will remarry.
