After the Divorce, I Conquered the Scheming Emperor [GB]

The only officially authorized version on Jinjiang. (If you like similar stories, please add Descending Dragon to your reading list.) Male Lead's Perspective: Yu Cezhi grew up as a puppet emperor caught in a struggle for power. Paranoid and cunning, he is skilled at hiding his true nature. Once he takes sole control, every court official fears him. No one dares remember how frail and easily bullied the emperor was when he was young. Only Yu Cezhi remembers. He was beaten by street thugs, forced to run and hide, and nearly starved to death. If the minister's daughter, Shu Bai, hadn't kindly served him porridge and personally cared for him, he would have died. In his heart, Shu Bai is the moon in the sky, the snow on a mountain peak. Such a beautiful person should belong to him. But fate has other plans. By the time he finally seizes power, Shu Bai is already married to someone else. Like a rat in a gutter, he covetously spies on Shu Bai's life. Whenever the palace has anything good, he gives it all to the man Shu Bai chose, hoping she'll be pleased. Even with her head adorned in pearls and flowers bestowed by the emperor, the emptiness inside him remains. Yu Cezhi often sits alone through the night until the glass cup in his hand crumbles to dust. At last, he gets an opportunity that can only be called despicable. Female Lead's Perspective: Shu Bai knows how to survive. A tree that stands above the forest will be battered by the wind, so she has always suppressed her preferences and true nature, keeping herself disciplined and humble. But constant yielding only encourages others to go too far. The man she once chose as her ideal husband shows his false face, filling Shu Bai with disgust. It should have been her birthday banquet, but her "good husband" brings a young woman home and says, "This is my cousin. Mother wants me to marry her as a second wife. You should look after her from now on." Shu Bai's heart suddenly turns cold. She pays no attention to her husband, who is drinking merrily with the guests at the banquet, and slips away to the bridge to catch the breeze, a little tipsy. She accidentally misses a step and thinks she'll fall into the icy water. Instead, an arm tightens around her waist, and she hears a warm, low voice. "Careful, my lady." At the time, she thinks she's met a harmless little puppy much like herself. Softening for a moment, Shu Bai keeps him by her side as a servant. But she soon realizes the puppy is a wolf with malicious intentions, watching her hungrily. He's a hundred times more difficult to handle than her husband. What shocks Shu Bai even more is that her arrogant husband is kneeling at the puppy's feet, calling him "Your Majesty." The wolf pretending to be a dog is cruel and vicious, and refuses to be tamed. Even worse, this creature won't let go of a delicious meal once it's within reach. That's all right. Shu Bai no longer wants to suppress herself. If something poses a risk, smash its teeth, break its limbs, and make sure it can never bite back. Tips: No perfect characters. A cool, detached, universally admired minister's wife x a possessive emperor who tries to take her by force, only to be turned around on. Happy ending. GB, no role reversal, but the heroine isn't overwhelmingly powerful from the start and has an old injury. She'll grow steadily and eventually gain the upper hand over the hero in every way. Don't take the political scheming too seriously. They sleep together after the divorce. Dog-training fiction!! The male lead is an unruly stray dog. Theme: The vast sea lets fish leap freely.
