My Ex-Husband Forces Me to Become Empress

Emperor Jianyuan has been on the throne for years, with an empty harem and no children. When his ministers keep urging him to fill the harem and produce an heir, he grows impatient and adopts six sons from the imperial clan instead.

He is naturally cold-hearted and indifferent, and has never fallen for anyone.

That is, until he sees his fourth adopted son with the woman betrothed to him.

She is breathtakingly beautiful and somehow familiar. When she looks at her fiance, her gaze is tender and full of affection.

That night, Emperor Jianyuan dreams.

In his dream, his future daughter-in-law is the apple of his eye. She spends more than ten years by his side, always telling him how much she loves and admires him.

Outside the dream, she is about to become his daughter-in-law.

He was the one who issued the decree arranging their marriage.

And she was the one who asked for it.

Tsk.

In Wen Shuyin's eyes, the emperor is gentle, refined, and noble.

In her previous life, she entered the palace for love. After enduring his coldness, she realized the emperor had no heart and no feelings. Her love ran dry, and for the sake of her family, she spent fifteen years as his wife in a marriage that was loveless on both sides.

After being reborn, her heart is calm. All she wants is to marry a good man and live a peaceful life.

She doesn't mind that the man she loves is the emperor's adopted son. It's not as if she can't call him "Father Emperor."

But on her wedding night, she waits in vain for her young husband.

She wakes up in Weiyang Palace, with her battered husband before her and the emperor she thought was gentle, detached, and uninterested in her at her side.

The emperor's gaze is inscrutable. He twines a hand through her dark hair and laughs beside her ear.

"Think carefully about whom you're marrying tomorrow."

(The man has higher status and power, while the woman is weaker; their feelings are the other way around. The male lead is older, but chaste.)
