Marrying Again

Two years after marrying into the Zhao family, Xie Changzhu has a dream.

In it, misfortune follows her at every turn. Her family is falsely accused of treason, her husband is a heartless bastard, and before disaster even strikes, the married couple each goes their own way.

When she wakes, she learns that her mother-in-law wants her husband to take a concubine. Just like in her dream, she immediately decides she can't keep this husband.

As a daughter of a distinguished clan, the most important thing is to weather the crisis alongside her relatives and hold out until the new emperor takes the throne and peace returns to the land.

The daughters of the Xie family have always been sought after by countless families. After resolving the crisis facing her clan, she picks out her next husband less than two years later: the current fifth-rank Supervising Censor, a man who's somewhat rigid and gloomy, but young and promising. Most importantly, in her dream, he lives to see the new emperor ascend the throne.

But why does her friend's senior fellow apprentice launch a coup on her wedding day, becoming the very new emperor from her dream?
