The Ex-Husband I Dumped Has Rebelled

1v1, both virgins | She abandons her husband and child and runs off, then her ex-husband rebels | Erotic fiction

After her family falls from grace, Jiang Ruoyao flees to the border and becomes a maid to Prince Jin. Her status is lowly, but she is beautiful enough to cause plenty of trouble.

Prince Jin, Wei Jue, has no interest in women, much to the Dowager Consort's dismay.

When Ruoyao makes a serious mistake and is on the brink of death, the Dowager Consort saves her and tells her to seduce the prince and sleep with him, and her crime will be forgiven.

Jiang Ruoyao readily agrees and deliberately gets close to her master. Two months later, she completes the task and saves her own life.

The Dowager Consort is pleased, then says, “Bear a son, and I'll set you free.”

Jiang Ruoyao redoubles her efforts and faces the challenge. A year later, she gives birth to a young heir.

The Dowager Consort says, “Have another, and I'll give you 100,000 taels to leave.”

Jiang Ruoyao agrees. Two years later, she gives birth to a daughter.

After three years as a concubine, Jiang Ruoyao walks away with her freedom and begins a new life.

Just then, her family is officially exonerated. Jiang Ruoyao is no longer of servile status, and she returns to the capital to reunite with her loved ones.

She was once the legitimate daughter of a noble family, but one fall from grace reduced her to a concubine. Thankfully, all that is behind her. From now on, she'll once again be the noble daughter of a marquis's household.

Jiang Ruoyao grew up with the emperor as his childhood sweetheart. When she returns to the capital, her imperial cousin doesn't mind that she's been married before and still wants to make her his empress.

So what if she's been married and has had a child? She still became empress.

But who could have foreseen that, just three years later, the ailing emperor would die young, throwing the realm into chaos? Prince Jin raises an army to purge the court's evil ministers, then rebels and marches on the palace.

The two old acquaintances meet again in the throne hall. The former concubine has become the Empress Dowager, supporting the young emperor's ascension to the throne.

He sneers and calls her “Sister-in-law.” Ruoyao's heart trembles; she fears he'll pounce on her and tear her apart.

To keep this wolf in check, Ruoyao makes plenty of concessions.

In public, she promises him the title of Regent to placate him. In private, she pays for it with herself, just as before.

Multiple male leads | Men competing for the heroine | A delicate flower who is hard to please & obsessive love-struck men who all want to possess her

Blurb:

After one reckless night, Jiang Rou unexpectedly becomes the secret mistress of Cui Jing, the chief councilor of the dynasty.

Cui Jing tells her he'll give her a proper status after she bears his child.

But on the day she gives birth, Jiang Rou doesn't wait for Cui Jing to bring her into his household. Instead, the emperor's decree arrives, marrying Cui Jing to the Grand Princess.

The Grand Princess sends her poisoned wine and tells her to die in peace.

At her lowest point, Lord Xie of the neighboring estate offers her a lifeline.

Xie Chongzhou is the only son of the Empress Dowager's family and the youngest duke in the court. He and Cui Jing are both favorites of the emperor, but they've been bitter rivals for years, constantly at each other's throats.

The first time Xie Chongzhou visits the estate, he casts an amused look at her and sizes her up without restraint.

He asks Cui Jing for his concubine. Cui Jing assumes Xie Chongzhou is deliberately provoking him. After all, who else would want this delicate flower, so hard to please and so quick-tempered?

Besides, Jiang Ling loathes Xie Chongzhou and goes out of her way to avoid him.

Little did he expect that later, Jiang Ling would willingly follow Xie Chongzhou and leave him without looking back.

But in the end, Xie Chongzhou doesn't manage to make this delicate flower his own either. He lets her slip away by accident.

-

Years later, His Highness Prince Ning returns to the capital from his fief, bringing his concubine, Lady Jiang, and petitions for her to be granted the title of Princess Consort.

At last, Jiang Rou gets the wealth and glory she's been longing for.

But at the palace banquet, Chief Councilor Cui and Duke Xie come to blows. Prince Ning gets dragged into it, too, and all three end up kneeling before the emperor with bruised and swollen faces.

The emperor scolds them for being blind and letting a temptress bewitch them. And to call Jiang Ling a temptress is already giving her too much credit, considering how stupid she is.

He absolutely refuses to let his most valued ministers fall out over a woman.

Then Jiang Rou is sent to a temple to practice austerities.

During her time there, Cui Jing, Xie Chongzhou, and Prince Ning take turns visiting Jiang Ling, but she turns them all away at the door.

What no one knows is that, in the solemn main hall, the hem of a golden robe is pinning down a plain white Daoist robe.

The emperor has no choice but to admit that this woman really is a temptress.

Theme: Become a better version of yourself.
