After the Broken Engagement, the Empress Dowager Dotes on Her Powerful Minister

What’s it like to attend your own funeral after being reborn? She was reborn as a brash, domineering little cousin with a terrible reputation. Before she was reborn, the original owner had shamelessly chased after her emotionally unavailable fiancé. After she was reborn, her fiancé put an arm around another woman. “I only think of her as a little sister.” Dowager Empress Su was ruthless and sparing with words. One arrow made him wet himself. After being dumped four times in one year, she became the subject of public ridicule: no one would dare marry her. Who would have guessed she’d turn around and marry the widely admired General Chu? The young general arrived on a white horse in dazzling red, his brilliance unmatched. With gongs and drums announcing the wedding, she married him in a blaze of glory, making everyone green with envy. Some people sneered, “The brilliant general will soon grow sick of her and send her out of the house with a letter of divorce.” Everyone agreed. “Exactly. Whoever marries her will never have peace at home.” Later… A servant came running in a panic. “Oh no! The madam and the young madam are fighting in their room, and they’re smashing things!” Everyone crowded up front to watch, clutching their melon seeds. The general smiled calmly. “It’s fine. The furnishings in their room are too old. They could use a fresh start.” Everyone: … That night, he held his wife’s delicate, jade-white hand and applied mermaid balm. “Next time, my lady, pick something soft to throw so you don’t hurt your hand.” The servant came running in a panic again. “Oh no! The young madam and the young lady are fighting in the courtyard!” Everyone squeezed together at the front, with sliced melon ready. The general smiled serenely. “It’s fine. They’re just sparring.” Everyone: … Seeing his younger sister covered in bruises, the general said earnestly, “You should have listened to your big brother. Now you’re paying the price.” His sister: “Are you really my brother?” Everyone in the imperial capital waited for him to divorce Shen Shengge. Twenty years later, the couple were still as loving as ever. The crowd sighed. “The dogs in the capital are dying of overeating. This couple is definitely to blame!”
