[A story about taking down a scumbag; the ending will pair the heroine with someone else, or she'll stay single] [Preorder: Princess's Third Marriage. Please add it to your collection.]
Half a year after Chen Yunzhen got married, her husband, Luo Zexian, decided to take the next imperial examination.
Though Chen Yunzhen was reluctant, she packed his things herself and saw him off.
A year later, the new imperial examinations ended, and Luo Zexian really did pass the palace examination with flying colors and return to Lanxi County in glory.
The neighbors all said Chen Yunzhen was lucky. She had casually chosen an orphan for a husband, and now she was the wife of a top scholar.
Chen Yunzhen had thought so, too.
That is, until she traveled a thousand miles with her husband from Lanxi County to the capital. When she opened the gates of the Luo residence, an unfamiliar woman greeted her like the lady of the house:
"You must be the younger sister."
Only then did Chen Yunzhen learn that during the year her husband had been in the capital taking the examinations, he had already set up another home there.
Luo Zexian's new wife came from a distinguished family and was virtuous and gracious. She said she'd fallen in love with Luo Zexian at first sight and insisted on marrying him. But she was moved by how devoted Luo Zexian was to Chen Yunzhen, so she was willing to share her husband with her.
Chen Yunzhen was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Luo Zexian.
Under her gaze, the man lowered his eyes and said nothing, but his meaning was clear.
Chen Yunzhen remembered watching The Story of the Pipa with her grandmother before she transmigrated.
The scholar Cai Bojie went to the capital to take the imperial examinations and lost contact with his wife, Zhao Wuniang, who worked tirelessly and took good care of his parents.
The scholar was forced to marry, but never stopped thinking about his parents and wife. His wife begged her way to the capital to find him, and in the end they reunited.
Compared to the situation now, Luo Zexian looked more and more like Cai Bojie, the opera's paragon of loyalty and filial piety.
But she couldn't be Zhao Wuniang.

Blurb: Huaining died.
Her own imperial brother gave her a cup of poisoned wine. She died on the day the rebels stormed the imperial city.
The emperor, at the end of his rope, pulled her into his arms and said in a manic voice, "No one can take you away. No one!"
Then he tilted his head back and drank the poison, too.
When she opened her eyes again, Huaining found herself back on the day her father was choosing a husband for her.
At the emperor's side, her elder brother, who was still the crown prince, watched her with a smile.
"You can marry whichever one you like, Huaining," he said, though the smile never reached his eyes.
Huaining flusteredly broke eye contact with her brother and looked beyond the translucent curtains at the two candidates her father had carefully chosen for her.
She raised a finger slightly, pausing over the one who had been sneaking glances at her from the start, then resolutely pointed at the other man.
"Father, I want him."
In her previous life, for reasons she couldn't tell anyone, Huaining chose Ning Lingyuan, heir to the Duke of Anguo, who had always been in love with her.
Taking advantage of Ning Lingyuan's feelings for her, Huaining treated him carelessly. Whenever she was displeased, she drove him out of her room, and whenever she thought of him, she summoned him and dismissed him as she pleased.
Later, Huaining accidentally learned that Ning Lingyuan had once had a childhood sweetheart who looked five parts like her. Only then did she realize Ning Lingyuan had treated her as a substitute for someone else. That was why he didn't care how badly she treated him.
The spoiled little princess had never endured such humiliation. Once she learned the truth, she immediately drove Ning Lingyuan out of the princess's residence. Even when he knelt outside the gates until he fainted that day, she refused to see him.
But later, her father died suddenly of an illness, her brother ascended the throne, and the Duke of Anguo abruptly rebelled.
The young man who had once knelt before Huaining's gates, begging her to forgive him, now led a force of elite soldiers and broke through the capital's gates.
Reborn, Huaining thought, whether it was her brother or Ning Lingyuan, her relationship with them...
Was over.
Theme: Learn to love yourself before loving someone else.
It's really like a crematorium, it's just ashes. I think it's much better than if a man with a higher position, more power, and better loves the heroine, and the heroine just looks at the look of another man.
There's nothing wrong with the copywriting! Didn't they say to change CP or Dumei! The current male characters in the story are basically scum and not worth mentioning. Maybe there will be a real male protagonist in the future, or a female protagonist in the story, surrounded by a few high-quality male supporting characters who appreciate the female protagonist, hehe.
In fact, this is the best revenge. Losing their rights will cost them their lives. That kind of control over the world and endless loneliness. All you lose is life but what he loses is love. I can only say that everyone should be happy. But. . . . How can I put it, the role of the male protagonist has been a bit low recently, the progress may have been slow, and many people left impatiently. For example, if I finish a novel, I like to jump to the ending of the scumbag, and then slowly make up for the previous plot. And most people may not care about the plot at all, and only like to watch plots about scumbag abuse.
Haha, if the male protagonist is a wise king reserve, and the female protagonist wants to destroy him because of her personal feelings, she will feel more or less revengeful and a bit selfish; but it is obvious that the male protagonist is at best a conservative king with strong control. Thinking about the liberation of women by the princess's rise to power, and the bright future in which the female protagonist can let herself go and fully use her knowledge before time travel to promote social development, I immediately feel refreshed and full of expectations. Come on!
Only when you seize the throne can you beat up the scum and can you call it a crematorium. What else are they? You can sit on the throne and die alone. Even dogs don't like to see it.
You have to open up your golden fingers when it comes to intrigues! The princess becomes a prince and then ascends the throne [Compare your heart]
Mainly I feel that the copywriting did not mention the plot line at all and did not summarize this career line, which would easily lead to misunderstandings (including the fact that I just looked at the supporting role column and did not see the name of the princess)
I think Madam should mention in the copy the line of assisting the Queen in ascending to the throne.
This is actually quite embarrassing, because those who like to read wife-chasing stories expect romance, and those who like to read power struggles expect strategic power struggles. People who like the former read the copy and think they are into the trap they want to read, and then find out that they don't like it and leave. Those who like the latter read the copy and think the former has also left, so it is equivalent to using the copy to screen those who intersect between the two. To be honest, even if they overlap, sometimes I just want to read one type of writing before reading another type after a long time.
It's quite crematory, just throw away the ashes, and fundamentally cut off the other party's way forward hahahaha
By the way, is there a man in the back for my sister to play with? Don't tire her out by running for her career, but a big woman is an unparalleled genius and is destined to fly into the sky and leave a name in history. She needs to find a good man who is virtuous, virtuous and abiding by male ethics, otherwise he is destined to become a stumbling block in her career.
