It's Not Me Who Captivates the City: The Prince Wants to Divorce His Consort (Complete Edition + Published)

Only later did I realize that you were the one who had hidden yourself most deeply. Everything in this world is simple for you: take what you want, destroy what you don’t. You mined the heart of the deepest ore in Dongling and ground it into needles, then made thread from the fur of rare beasts in the northern lands, all to embroider the cuffs of my sleeves. They say this kind of love can make a city surrender. But what will you do one day when you discover that I’m no longer the same “her” I used to be?, From the Prince Rui’s Consort’s inscription

★★★

Synopsis:

I thought that after I transmigrated as the daughter of a lord in an imperial territory, I’d be destined for wealth and glory. But because I was born of a concubine, I was unloved. Why did Father marry my mother if he wasn’t going to cherish his little concubine? As a result, I was bullied by the principal wife and my sisters. At long last, one of the evil sisters who oppressed the people was married off, but to the Crown Prince of the empire, the man I loved.

*

Damn that Crown Prince! When we were children, he made a pact with me and agreed to join forces. Now he’s gone and merged with the evil side. And with my mother’s family in trouble and Father refusing to help, I have no choice but to travel all the way to Chaoge and compete to become the consort of the Crown Prince’s younger brother, the mysterious Prince Rui, who is said to be disabled. Only by winning the title of princess consort can I save my mother’s family, and get the chance to meet that faithless man who holds power over the empire! But when we meet again, he’ll be married and I’ll have a husband. That should be fun!

*

But as the years of princes contending for power and shocking conspiracies draw to a close, the palace remains shrouded in the mists of ever-changing political intrigue. Whose woman is this, with lovers as numerous as the strings of a sheng and xiao, who whispers in her ear night after night: “Don’t try to leave me. Otherwise, I’ll bathe the northern lands in blood and use it as the betrothal gift when I marry you again.”
