The Endless Decree

Rong Zhizhi knelt on three thousand steps to beg for the life-saving medicine her husband needed. But when he returned victorious, he brought back a pregnant princess from another kingdom and planned to demote Rong Zhizhi from wife to concubine!

“Manhua is a princess, and she's carrying my child. What's wrong with giving her your place as my principal wife?”

“My son isn't divorcing you. He's only making you a concubine out of pity. If you leave the marquis's estate, who wouldn't look down on you?”

“Even though my brother is demoting you to a concubine, I'll still call you sister-in-law if you give me your dowry as my trousseau!”

“As a woman, you should be willing to sacrifice for your husband! All he's asking is that you become a concubine and hand over a little of your dowry. Why make such a fuss?”

Facing this family, Rong Zhizhi decided the sacrifices she'd made over the past three years had been wasted on a pack of dogs. But they would repay her for every last thing they owed!

She resolutely divorced him, turned her ex-husband's family upside down, took every bit of her dowry, and gave the other half of her ex-husband's life-saving medicine to someone else…

Later, her ex-husband became a cripple once more and a laughingstock throughout the capital. She remarried a powerful official and became the glorious wife of the chief councilor. Even the emperor addressed her respectfully as his adoptive mother!
