I'm Not Familiar with the Tyrant

Fiery Minister's Wife x Ruthless Emperor, Reunited After a Breakup

The new emperor, Wei Xiancheng, was imposing in appearance. Born into poverty, he united the realm, ending a century of chaos and earning the admiration of all.

Yet two years after his ascension, the imperial harem remained empty.

In hopes of currying favor with the new emperor and securing a place in the founding empress's good graces, people kept presenting women to him. Some even set their sights on Yu Peishu, wife of the Junior Minister of Justice, and went through several layers of connections to send word to the emperor's attendant.

The attendant shook his head again and again.

"Though Yu is beautiful, she once impersonated a princess sent to marry for peace and was disgraced long ago. His Majesty has refused so many women. How could he possibly look favorably upon Yu, who has already married twice?"

Yet not long afterward, inside Guan Ju Palace, built especially for the new emperor's wedding, a beautiful woman was summoned to meet the emperor alone.

Yu Peishu's hair was dark and glossy, her face radiant, her lovely eyes sparkling. She gripped the collar of Emperor Wei Xiancheng's dragon robe without the slightest hesitation.

"You destroyed my country and my family. If you want me to stay, you have to agree to a few conditions."

Wei Xiancheng held her in his arms and let her do as she pleased. "All right."

Yu Peishu: "I want to be empress. You can't have any other women, not a single one."

Wei Xiancheng: "All right."

Yu Peishu: "I want you to grant my husband titles and rank, and guarantee him a lifetime of wealth and honor."

Wei Xiancheng: "All right."

Yu Peishu: "My son will be crown prince. After you die, only he can inherit the throne."

Wei Xiancheng fell silent for a moment. "Your son, or Mine?"

Yu Peishu looked away, a single tear tracing her cheek.

"Wei Xin, you owe me this."

Wei Xin was the name he had used during the two years when she impersonated a princess sent to marry for peace and he was her slave.

As memories surfaced, Wei Xiancheng's gaze darkened. Suddenly, he rolled over and pinned her beneath him.

"Then... give me another child."

- The male lead did not destroy the female lead's country and family. She and her current husband are not a real couple, and each is getting something out of the arrangement.

- The male lead is a virgin, and this is a happy ending.
