The Jealous Lord's Beloved Wife Returns to the Past

One day, Yin Zhu is lounging at home, reading the recently published melodramatic novel Sorrow of the Millet. It tells the story of Emperor Jiang Gao and Chu Sang, a general’s daughter, overcoming countless hardships and joining hands to build a great empire, all while putting down obstacles like "Yin Zhu."

That’s right: this Yin Zhu is not that Yin Zhu.

Yin Zhu only picked up the book because a childhood friend told him that there was a cannon-fodder character with the same name. After reading for almost a whole day and half the night, he finally manages to finish it. He can’t stay awake any longer, so he collapses into bed. When he wakes, he realizes that something is wrong. He has...

Transmigrated!

Migrated!

Grated!

!

Yin Zhu opens his eyes and sees that he’s lying in bed, with a sobbing little maid kneeling beside him. He stubbornly closes his eyes and opens them again, only to find that he’s still there. After staring into space for a while, he accepts his situation with good cheer.

From the maid, he learns that he is the Empress, Yin Zhu, and that his husband is that awful Emperor Jiang Gao. Yin Zhu’s face looks as if he’s just eaten a bowl of shit. Has he really transmigrated into the very book that caused him to transmigrate?

He remembers what happens to the cannon-fodder Yin Zhu early in the story: he’s executed for deceiving the emperor and committing treason.

That’s right.

Yin Zhu pretended to be a woman and married Emperor Jiang. Gradually blinded by power, he actually fell in love with Jiang Gao and repeatedly made things difficult for Chu Sang, eventually getting both his hands chopped off.

Thinking of this, Yin Zhu feels his right hand and is relieved to find it still there.

After thinking it over and over, Yin Zhu decides to keep his distance from the protagonists and work hard to find a way home. Based on all the transmigration novels he’s read, he’ll have to invent a time machine to make it back. But since he’s been a terrible student his whole life, Yin Zhu decides that becoming an unnoticed little empress in ancient times sounds pretty good.

He can also help the male and female leads get together. Shipping a couple is fun, after all.

If Chu Sang wants it, he’ll gladly give her the position of Empress, and Jiang Gao along with it.

Why, you ask?

Is good food not delicious? Isn’t shipping couples fun?

That’s right. When Yin Zhu read the book, he was a huge fan of the Sorrow of the Millet couple. Their relationship gets incredibly sweet later on.

As time goes by...

At night, Yin Zhu lies with his head on Jiang Gao’s lap, eating the fruit he feeds him.

By day, Chu Sang calls Yin Zhu "big sister" and comes to his palace every day to drink tea, chat, and hug him.

When he realizes that the story is nearly over, Yin Zhu sneaks off, deciding it’s time to give up his place. He packs his things and leaves.

That night, Jiang Gao returns to his room, ready to enjoy the soft and lovely treasure he adores, only to find a divorce letter on the table.

How does Jiang Gao recognize it at a glance? Because the sheet of paper has five big, crooked characters on it: "I’m divorcing you."

One of the characters is even wrong. Jiang Gao is so angry he almost laughs. Fine!

Meanwhile, Yin Zhu congratulates himself on his cleverness, unaware that someone far away in the capital is searching for him like a madman.

Later...

The runaway Empress is found by the Emperor. Seeing the madness in the eyes of the man before him, Yin Zhu can’t help but take a few steps back. But the next moment, someone grabs him.

Jiang Gao pins him against a tree and kisses him fiercely, his eyes wild. Yin Zhu weakly wraps his arms around Jiang Gao’s neck, the corners of his eyes red. Forced to moan "husband" several times, he finally gets a chance to breathe.

Only later, held tightly in Jiang Gao’s arms, does Yin Zhu realize that the couple he shipped had already broken up.

Note:

The pursuing partner: A somewhat complicated personality (silly, sweet, talkative, and more) -> Empress

The pursued partner: Complicated personality + jealous king + eventually falls hard -> Empress

A funny story about the pursuing partner transmigrating to ancient times and ending up with a very hypocritical, two-faced husband.

Includes forced kissing and anal sex.

Important: They both adore each other, but the relationship leans toward the pursued partner spoiling the pursuer. In my view, that means that once they’re in love, the pursued partner spoils the pursuing partner tremendously. The pursuing partner might take longer to fall in love, but will definitely do so thanks to the other’s efforts. This isn’t a one-sided love, because anyone can be won over with enough warmth.

The blurb may not be very good! Please add it to your collection!

The pursued partner will suffer, because he did some very bad things early on.

Chu Sang and Jiang Gao are not romantically involved. They’re like a ruler and a minister, but early on, for certain reasons, they pretend to be married and act all lovey-dovey. Whenever they’re around the pursuing partner, they keep making promises that they immediately break, which is also why the pursued partner suffers.

There are consorts in the harem, but they’re all just background characters.

Both are virgins, physically and emotionally.

Theme: If you make a promise based on your own abilities, you have to be the one to break it, of course! - The pursued partner
