The Mad Emperor’s Queen with a Golden Token

Sold by her father as a pawn for his own gain and shot so badly by her treacherous, deceitful husband in name only that she was gravely wounded, Shen Hengwu thought that the price she had paid for freedom was rather steep.

As the saying goes, Heaven is fair. She had said goodbye to a worthless scumbag who couldn't recognize a treasure, and in return, Heaven sent her an incomparable man. The only problem was that he was far too powerful.

Her scumbag ex was the crown prince of Huaibei, but this man was the supreme ruler of Huainan.

They said he was as handsome as a god and as ruthless as a devil. His beautiful face drew countless noble young ladies to him, while his imperial sword had lopped off the heads of countless wishful suitors.

They said he had no interest in women or men, never smiled, kept no harem, and put the realm above all else.

What else did the rumors say? Rumors are a load of crap!

[Excerpt One: About Being the Only One]

“Your Majesty, as queen and mother of the realm, you must embody the dignity of the phoenix and share His Majesty's favor equally. Only then can Huainan flourish.”

“The relationship between ruler and ministers needs the help of marital ties. Your Majesty is so sensible, surely you understand what this old woman means.”

“Your Majesty...”

Listening to a group of noble ladies lecture her, Hengwu raised her eyes and said to the man who had just entered the Wutong Hall, “They're so noisy.”

“Where did all the tricks you use on me go? Or are you too lazy to speak and waiting for me to come back and throw them out?” Mu Feizhi whispered in her ear without the slightest concern for everyone watching.

“Mu Feizhi, that was your son who said that just now.” Nestled in the man's arms, Shen Hengwu gently rested a hand on her belly, a sly glint in her eyes.

The man's aura changed at once. He stood with Hengwu in his arms and ordered Black Hawk in a voice as cold as ice, “Cut out all their tongues.”

“...”

“Then send ten concubines to each of their households.” Since they had the nerve to do this, he would let them find out what it was like to have their own households in chaos.

“Your Majesty, spare us!” The noble ladies dropped to their knees in terror.

The man stopped with the woman in his arms. He thought for a moment, and just when everyone believed there might be a reprieve, he said, “Their racket will disturb the queen and the little prince. Forget it, execute them all!”

“...”

[Excerpt Two: About Rivals in Love]

The two nations were at war. Seeing the woman in battle armor beside the King of Huainan, the scumbag gritted his teeth and said, “Shen Hengwu, I haven't divorced you yet. By the laws of this land, you are still my primary consort, Qin Xuange.”

The man sitting nearby lazily aimed his bow at the scumbag and said casually, “The law? It'd be easier if I shot you dead. Then, according to the law, you'd be her late husband.”

Sometimes the best way to deal with a romantic rival was to be violent and direct.

[Excerpt Three: About the Little Beast]

After the great, scheming beast worked tirelessly day and night, the little beast, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, made his grand entrance.

“Father, why do you kiss Mother?” The little boy struggled up onto the man's lap, his soft body leaning against the man's knees. He looked up with his delicate little face and asked curiously.

“To have a little sister.” The man replied without changing expression as he read through official documents.

“Huh? Father kisses Mother to have a little sister? I have to go tell Mother!” The little boy slid off his father's lap with a mischievous grin and scampered toward the hall's exit on his little legs.

“You brat, get back here!” the man roared.

This is a one-couple romance. Both leads are faithful, body and soul.
