Coming soon: After Swapping Bodies with the Scumbag Crown Prince
Jiang Yan swapped bodies with the crown prince who had betrayed her heart and exiled her entire family.
The next day, the emperor died.
#The throne came out of nowhere#
#Being emperor is actually great#
#Pay back every grudge and settle every score#
She waited eight years for the crown prince, only to receive an imperial decree stripping her entire family of their posts and banishing them three thousand li away. The position of crown princess went to someone else, too.
But just after she left the capital, she was kidnapped and brought back.
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the crown prince looked coldly at Jiang Yan kneeling in the courtyard and said carelessly,
"I couldn't have let you stay, but since you're so devoted to me, I'll let you remain in the Eastern Palace as a secondary consort. That will spare you the hardship of traveling those three thousand li."
After their bodies were swapped, Helan Quan became Jiang Yan, the lowly secondary consort whom anyone could use and mistreat as they pleased. Every day, she was dressed in fine clothes and fed well, all to keep that body unharmed. At last, he knocked on the gates of the Purple Gold Hall, eyes red, and said:
"A Yan, I was wrong."
"Please don't leave me..."
The little eunuch spoke in a sharp, mocking voice. "Secondary Consort Jiang, His Majesty and the great general will be talking all night. How could they have time for you?"
A real case of trying to win her back and failing miserably
Blurb
Zhou Huang transmigrated into the most pampered and spoiled little princess of Beixing. She had power, influence, and money. The only thing she wasn't happy about was that, as someone who didn't believe in marriage, she'd been forced into a match with Prince Rui of Great Wei.
Why get married? Wouldn't it be better to live as a happy, wealthy woman?
So she did everything she could to break up the match. She made herself ugly, talked back to the consort, acted jealous and spiteful, and repeatedly violated the seven grounds for divorce, always ready to separate!
But breaking off the engagement turned out to be a bumpy road. After careful thought, she decided to fake her death and run away.
Bring it on, Li Jingqian!
For the sake of all under heaven, Li Jingqian rejected his engagement to the chancellor's daughter without a change in expression. "This is my duty as a prince."
He knew his bride from the marriage alliance didn't love him. That was fine. He didn't love her either.
This marriage was nothing but a compromise.
Until she drank the cup of poisoned wine for him without hesitation, then closed her eyes in his arms.
Li Jingqian, eyes wide with shock: She loves me so much!
She was willing to die for me!
I can't live without her!
Zhou Huang: ...Sob, sob. My fake-death escape plan failed, and now my husband loves me even more. What do I do?
Later, she finally succeeded in ending the marriage when Li Jingqian was falsely accused, jailed, and stripped of his title.
His eyes red, he watched her take someone else's hand and leave the prison with her new lover to go live it up, and couldn't help tightening his grip on the divorce papers.
Unexpectedly, a month later, a disheveled Zhou Huang was cornered by Li Jingqian inside the Wei army's tent.
Zhou Huang smiled ingratiatingly. "What a coincidence."
Li Jingqian tossed his sword aside. It sank halfway into the ground, its chilling blade flashing before her eyes and making her shudder.
"I wanted to grow old with you, but you only wanted a divorce."
He took off his breastplate and pulled out the divorce papers, their edges worn soft from being handled again and again. He tore them to shreds in a few quick motions.
"It doesn't matter if you don't love me. You just have to be mine."
He pinched her plump cheek. "Zhou Huang, did you think I really wouldn't dare?"
