Upcoming story: "She Won't Be a Concubine." If you're interested, please add it to your reading list!
Shen Mingzhao is the most beloved princess in the Great Yong dynasty.
She is breathtakingly beautiful, her radiance dazzling the world.
Unfortunately, she dies a brutal death.
Her father has just passed away when her husband arrives at the city gates with an army, a new woman at his side, and demands that she surrender.
In full view of everyone, Shen Mingzhao angrily smashes the imperial seal and curses the traitor.
Then she leaps from the city wall.
Great Yong may have a rebellious husband of a princess, but it cannot have a princess who surrenders to the enemy.
When Shen Mingzhao opens her eyes again, she has returned to the third day after her marriage to Xu Yu.
In her previous life, Xu Yu claimed to be busy with official duties and did not accompany Shen Mingzhao on her return visit to her parents' home.
Shen Mingzhao had even covered for him in front of her father.
Only later did she learn that on the day of the visit, Xu Yu had gone to the Imperial Grace Temple outside the capital to meet his childhood sweetheart.
After being reborn, the first thing Shen Mingzhao does is take up her sword and head to the Imperial Grace Temple.
She is going to kill Xu Yu, that traitorous scoundrel, with her own hands!
Xu Yu notices that Shen Mingzhao's personality has suddenly changed.
She no longer clings to him day and night, and instead repeatedly calls him a traitor and threatens to kill him.
When accusing him of treason doesn't work, she pulls out a divorce letter and declares that she's going to divorce him.
Xu Yu's eyes turn cold. He accepts the letter, leaves her with, "I hope Your Highness won't regret this," and walks away.
He is certain that Shen Mingzhao is just throwing a tantrum like a spoiled princess, and will come crawling back to him sooner or later.
Less than a month later, news that the princess is remarrying spreads throughout the capital.
Soaked through in the pouring rain, Xu Yu stands in front of the princess's carriage, his voice hoarse. "Are you really going to marry him?"
The woman's voice is as clear as a chime, yet distant. "Heir Xu, you are my former husband, not my late husband. Do you expect me to mourn you for a year?"
Only then does Xu Yu learn what it means to be consumed by pain.
Later, everyone says Xu Yu has gone mad.
The capital's most refined young nobleman is actually prostrating himself at Princess Yongle's feet,
begging for a shred of mercy from the woman he once looked down on most.
He even breaks his proud spirit and bears countless curses, willing to be nothing more than a man beneath her skirts, despised by all.
Content warnings: 1. A wife-chasing crematorium. In her previous life, the heroine was blinded by love, which is why she ultimately jumped from the city wall and died.
2. There were misunderstandings in their previous lives. The male lead had reasons for rebelling, but betrayal is still betrayal. He will not be absolved.
3. The male lead's family has been loyal for generations. The heroine has no evidence and cannot kill him, so she can only divorce him first.
4. An alternate-history setting with open-minded customs: feudal, but not backward-minded.
5. The heroine intends to become empress.
Upcoming story: "She Won't Be a Concubine"
Rong Jiaojiao is only a maid, but she is delicate and soft, with snow-white skin. With every passing day, she grows more alluring.
Everyone says that with her bewitching looks, she is bound to become Second Young Master Han's concubine.
Han Weixi thinks so too. He gives Rong Jiaojiao two chances to become his concubine.
The first time he asks her to be his concubine, Rong Jiaojiao doesn't even get a chance to refuse before someone pushes her into a lake.
Just as she is about to die, Han Weixi happens to pass by and pulls her out.
The mistress of the Han household assumes she tried to kill herself. Finding it inauspicious for her to die in the Han residence, she throws her out.
Han Weixi brings in a doctor to save her life and gives her a hundred taels of silver.
The second time he asks her to be his concubine, they have been married for three years.
By then, the Han family has been caught up in the struggle for the throne. Everyone in the family has died except Han Weixi and his elder sister.
Han Weixi is stripped of his status and sentenced to exile a thousand li away.
With a hundred taels' worth of silver notes tucked away, Rong Jiaojiao follows him all the way to his place of exile. She buys Han Weixi, who is barely alive, and hires a doctor to save him.
By law, a man of servile status cannot marry a freeborn woman, but he can marry into her family.
Rong Jiaojiao registers as a female head of household and marries Han Weixi.
She tells him, "At least you're my lawful husband, not my concubine. We'll just make the best of it."
Rong Jiaojiao opens a small restaurant and keeps a handsome husband who has married into her family. Their life is pretty good.
Three years later, the Han family regains its footing. The elder Miss Han rises from a condemned slave in the Night Nether Court to become a Noble Consort, and gives birth to the emperor's only son. When the emperor dies, the prince ascends the throne, and the elder Miss Han becomes empress dowager.
Han Weixi suddenly becomes the emperor's uncle.
Empress Dowager Han says that Rong Jiaojiao's lowly background makes her unworthy of being a lawful wife, but in recognition of her loyalty to Han Weixi in his time of hardship, she graciously allows her to become a favored concubine.
Rong Jiaojiao refuses. She divorces Han Weixi, her husband who married into her family, and prepares to marry someone else.
Just as Rong Jiaojiao is packing to marry again, Han Weixi rides into the wedding hall, overturns her new groom with a single thrust of his spear, and grabs her by the throat. His eyes bloodshot, he speaks in a vicious voice.
"Little Cicada, how dare you?" He kicks the corpse beside him, its eyes still open, then smiles against her ear. "I killed your new husband. Shall I make it up to you by finding you another one, my wife?"
Rong Jiaojiao: "..."
Theme: Reject love-brain delusion and focus on building your career
I think you should take a leave if you have something to do. This is also a responsible attitude towards readers. After all, we all pay
Why hasn't it been updated? If you have anything to say, you can tell me or you can get a refund.
Don't you want to write it down? Can I get a refund? Otherwise, give me a note explaining the reason, and the update will be stopped silently, which is very bad.
I feel like this novel doesn't need a male protagonist. I was very happy to read The Princess. As soon as the male protagonist's role is played, he is very sexy, making the princess look like a crazy mother-in-law.
It's been almost a year, and I don't want to read it even if it's renewed. Please refund me. Although it's not much, at least it's a responsible performance. Suddenly there is no update, no explanation, and no refund. This is very bad [rolls eyes]
Can you tell me the update time? Or if it's stuck, please take a day off.
The female protagonist is the empress, and she is very supportive of her appearance. Even if the male protagonist is changed, it will be fine if there is a second male lead. This male protagonist really wants to abuse him.
Uh, there seems to be a bug. Since Liang's father's testimony stated that his hand was injured and he couldn't even hold a pen, then he couldn't strangle someone like that, because it would take more effort to strangle someone than to hold a pen. Therefore, there are contradictions in Liang's father's testimony. If you grasp this contradiction, you can prove that he is lying. Is it necessary to arrange for them to compete in water control in the main hall?
What's the situation now? Why don't you explain it?
