The Days of Being Wu Zetian's Daughter-in-Law

The moment she opened her eyes, she was fighting for her life on a birthing bed, while a woman outside waited to steal her baby. Because she had given birth to twins, she had to force herself to argue with the woman, and ended up damaging her own health. Could life get any more miserable? It could. Looming over her was a mother-in-law known as the Empress Dowager, who showed no mercy even to her own son, let alone her daughter-in-law or grandson. She had started out as a palace maid and risen in status by getting pregnant, but above her were a formidable Crown Princess and the Crown Prince's secondary consort, while the man who called himself her husband looked down on her at every turn! What could she do? Naturally, she would curry favor with her mother-in-law at every opportunity and stick to her proper role as a spectator enjoying the show.

Content warnings: First, the heroine's husband is the Crown Prince, so he has a principal wife and concubines. The heroine is only a concubine.

Second, there is no romance between the heroine and her husband, and he dies early. (The author has not given her a golden finger in this regard.) You could consider it a no-romance story, but according to Jinjiang's classification rules, if the heroine gets married, it's romance. If you don't like that, don't read it!

Special note.

Theme: Women should be self-reliant. Life is built one day at a time.
