After Being Deceived by Her Husband She Suddenly Realized Her Mistake

[Updated every night at 9 p.m.]

An accident led Li Wanchao to marry a scholar.

He was poor, and everyone in the Li family looked down on him.

Aside from that, though, the two of them lived a fairly harmonious and happy life after marriage.

Li Wanchao loved him, and even Wen Chen, who was always cool and taciturn, showed her a rare touch of tenderness.

She thought they would live this way for the rest of their lives.

Until one day, Wen Chen went to the capital to take the imperial examinations, then vanished without a trace.

At first, Li Wanchao thought he had fallen victim to a villain. She was willing to break with her family to find out the truth and clear his name.

She beat the drum of injustice and endured every hardship, taking her accusation all the way before the Son of Heaven.

But there, she saw the husband she had once been so close to. He was dressed in fine silk, radiating nobility. Now he was the Crown Prince, revered by all.

The Son of Heaven asked Li Wanchao, "For whom do you seek justice?"

Li Wanchao stared fixedly at Wen Chen. Realizing too late that she had been deceived, she gritted her teeth in hatred. "For a dead man who has nothing to do with me."

After the upheaval in the capital, Wen Chen left the place he had never cared for without a backward glance... along with the wife he had been forced to marry.

At first, he thought she was foolish, ignorant, timid, and weak.

But later, he never expected Li Wanchao to come all the way to the capital, searching for him at any cost.

When he saw her standing before him, covered in wounds, his heart ached uncontrollably.

He called her by the name he had used when they were once so intimate, but Li Wanchao turned and walked away without looking back.

Blurb: Miaozhu was once a lowly palace maid. Apart from the matron who had raised her, everyone could treat her like dirt.

By a stroke of fate, she was chosen to serve as the emperor's personal maid.

Chen Huaiheng had ascended the throne as a teenager. He was aloof, mercurial, and extremely difficult to serve.

She never complained, continuing to do her duties conscientiously and obeying his every command. She let him tease and mock her, waited on him attentively, and valued him more than herself.

Until one day, Chen Huaiheng's beloved returned from outside the palace. Miaozhu was framed for pushing her into the water. Chen Huaiheng confronted her with a sinister look in his eyes, then had her beaten thirty times with a paddle.

Those thirty blows shattered Miaozhu's world.

After that, her heart turned cold, and she stopped placing her hopes in him.

Later, the Empress Dowager offered to grant Miaozhu a favor.

Overjoyed, Miaozhu immediately said, "This servant wishes for a title."

Chen Huaiheng, standing nearby, thought she wanted to become his consort. Though he wasn't pleased by her request, a smile he hadn't even noticed crept into his eyes.

She had served him for so long. Granting her a title wouldn't be unreasonable.

But the little palace maid who had once had eyes only for him spoke another man's name instead. She said, "This servant dares to ask for the title of the one who stays by Prince Xie's side."
