[The full manuscript is in progress]
Cui Fuwei was once the most envied noblewoman in Great Yue. Now, she is the woman the emperor hates most.
She had been his fiancée, but after he was wounded in battle, she abandoned him and shamelessly climbed into his elder brother's bed.
When he finally clawed his way back from the brink of death and returned to the capital, he saw only her, dressed in a lavish red bridal gown and smiling like a flower as she married into the Eastern Palace.
From then on, she became his sister-in-law.
*
On the way to her wedding, a breeze lifted the curtain of the bridal sedan. Cui Fuwei glanced outside and immediately saw a man she had thought she would never see again: her former fiancé, the Second Prince, Fu Junhui.
Blood had soaked through the cloth wrapped around his wound, as bright as her wedding dress. But the look he gave her was as venomous as it was cold and despairing.
He stopped Cui Fuwei's sedan and, after a long moment, said coldly:
"Congratulations, Sister-in-law."
*
But that very night, he pinned her before the Crown Prince's spirit tablet and took her without restraint.
What sister-in-law?
She had always been his woman.
*
More than one man has a romantic entanglement with the heroine, but there is one male lead, and no multiple-partner ending.
*None of the couples in this novel violate moral principles. They are not related by blood and do not share a household register.
*For the male lead, this is a bad ending. For the heroine, it is a happy ending.
*The heroine grows over time. Don't expect too much of her at the beginning; she's already having a hard enough time.
*The male lead is a person of high status, and the power imbalance is severe. The early chapters may feel suffocating from the heroine's perspective. Read with caution. Try the free chapters first to see if it's to your taste. Don't force yourself to keep reading if this isn't your thing.
*Although Jinjiang requires a tag, I didn't want to categorize this as a coercive romance, so I removed it. The plot differs from a typical coercive romance, which usually involves extreme actions motivated by love. This story is about revenge motivated by hatred. I recommend reading without expectations or assumptions about any particular genre.
Theme: You are the only one who can save yourself.
