Sell My Wife for Glory? Kick Out the Scumbag and Marry the New Emperor to Become the Harem's Favorite

Her scumbag husband sold her to curry favor, while her power-hungry father was a hypocrite with no affection to give. In the second year of her marriage to the Marquis of Weiyuan, Xie Jiu climbed into the new emperor's bed. Everyone in the capital knew the Marquis of Weiyuan had been thoroughly cuckolded. Even with a bright green hat on his head, he could only swallow his anger and force a smile. Inside the fragrant curtains of a sedan chair, the woman lowered her beautiful eyes, her gaze seductive. Looking at the hall piled high with imperial gifts, she wore a troubled expression. “Marquis, His Majesty has shown me such favor. How should we thank him?” The Marquis of Weiyuan ground his teeth, but couldn't utter a single word. Xie Jiu sighed softly, feigning helplessness. “Never mind. I shall have to visit the palace again tomorrow.” Everyone thought the proper, well-mannered daughter of the Xie family had suddenly changed her ways. Who could have known that the beauty's body now held a completely different soul? Reborn, Xie Jiu would never let anyone manipulate her again! If they forced her to use her beauty to serve a man and sacrifice herself for her family, then why should she let those faithless men enjoy the emperor's favor and rewards? She would claim both power and ambition, and make them pay! Yet when she entered the palace, she discovered that the rumors were false. Who said the new emperor was cruel, lustful, and extravagant? He was clearly a crafty old fox, a master of disguise and shifting schemes! “If you are so beautiful, why didn't you come to me sooner?” Zhao Xingjin wrapped an arm around the woman's slender waist, feigning regret. Xie Jiu parted her red lips and leaned against his chest. “I feel the same, Your Majesty. We should have met sooner.” But when the edict and gifts announcing her favor arrived, her husband's and father's faces turned greener and greener. Weren't they the ones who had forced her into the palace to whisper in the emperor's ear? She had done as they asked. Why weren't they happy? And the man in the palace was even more difficult to handle. This was supposed to be a simple exchange of benefits, so why had he taken it seriously and become impossible to shake off? Xie Jiu pouted. Tsk, what a difficult man to please.
