Zhaolu ascended the throne at the age of four. The late emperor appointed four regents to assist her in governing.
Yet before ten years had passed, Regent Mu Qing declared herself Prince Regent. She formed factions, seized power, and eliminated the other three regents. Not only that, she forced Empress Zhaolu to marry her only son, Mu Erbai, as her consort.
Mu Erbai had foreign blood on one side of his family. He was strikingly beautiful, but Zhaolu simply wasn't interested.
She could have overlooked his looks not being to her taste, but Mu Erbai was also a jealous husband. After entering Zhaolu's harem, he forbade her from taking any more consorts.
Once, while drunk, Zhaolu flirted with a handsome young man. Mu Erbai flew into a rage and had the young man beaten to death.
How could this be? How had she married such a wretched man?
Furious, Zhaolu stayed away from his palace for an entire month, intending to teach him a lesson. Instead, Mu Erbai marched straight into her Taiji Palace and smiled at her brazenly. "Your Majesty, spending the nights in my palace on the first and fifteenth of each month is a rule laid down by our ancestors. But I believe that a loving marriage is what ensures the prosperity of the realm. Mother had a fortune-teller outside the palace do a reading today. Your Majesty must spend fifteen nights a month in my palace, or it will bring misfortune to the realm."
Zhaolu was so furious her teeth ground together. Once she took the reins of power, she'd dig up the Mu family's ancestral graves.
Every time she pretended to be affectionate with him, she gritted her teeth in hatred. Once all imperial power was in her hands, she would divorce this vicious, unvirtuous husband.
Three years later, Mu Qing had lost the people's support and fallen completely from power. Without her backing, Mu Erbai no longer dared to act as arrogantly as before.
After cleansing the court and wiping out the Mu faction, Zhaolu found herself at a loss over what to do with the troublesome man in her harem.
That day, Mu Erbai knelt before Zhaolu, sobbing uncontrollably.
Zhaolu grasped his chin, feeling utterly triumphant. "Beg me. If I'm in a good mood, perhaps I'll dote on you as I used to."
A guide before you dive in: 1. One-on-one romance, and the woman gives birth! This is a matriarchal society in terms of women's elevated social status only; male and female bodies are unchanged.
2. Some details are the author's own inventions, and the author reserves the right to interpret them. This is a fictional setting. The specific background is the same as in the author's other empress novels: stories about empresses in the matriarchal dynasties of the Divine Realm. You don't need to have read the earlier stories to enjoy this one.

The Delicate Beauty's Life After Being Forced to Marry the Regent
I'm sorry, I don't feel that the male protagonist loves the female protagonist more, that is to say, the mother and aunt are more important than the female protagonist, right (I'm not saying it's wrong), but it was clear from the beginning that there must be an end between the mother and the female protagonist. Since you don't choose the female protagonist, why would you provoke the female protagonist? You are so selfish at the same time. On the surface, the female protagonist is stronger than the male, but in fact, the female protagonist is more aggrieved.
I am also looking forward to pursuing my husband. I feel that the male protagonist is quite abusive, and his mother is so kind to him. It would be too heartless to have no grudges.
Apart from anything else, Mu Qing is a good mother, the male protagonist is really cheating on her (no harm intended)
The next book will be "A Beautiful Woman Doesn't Want to Remarry a Top-notch Man" The next chapter opens with "The Prince Regent Pampers the Little Princess" and the story of rape and robbery Also, I would like to collect the series of articles about the same type of female emperor named "After the Empress Stole My Husband". The completion of other similar series of female emperors is as follows. After reading this article, you can read it in the following order: 1 "After the Empress was killed by Bai Yueguang" 2 "The Empress's Husband Ran Away with Someone"
Go, go, go, the sea and the sky will be brighter
In fact, I thought Mu Qing would not die, because I always felt that how could the male protagonist continue to live with the person who killed his mother who was so good to him? This is not a question of love or not, there is no malice, it is just expressing feelings and looking forward to the next development.
Introduction: The plot is starting to get exciting.
When will I update secretly? I'm happy.
I've been chasing two articles and I've reached this point. Fortunately, the other one will be ready soon. It's not easy. Mu Mu, please hurry up.
I don't know what will happen in the end. Sadness doesn't count, ah ah ah, come on.
