The Wise and Benevolent Empress

The historical records of the You'an dynasty tell of two women of remarkable renown. One of them was Empress Ruihui. The empress was born into a prominent family, but after her father plotted rebellion, her entire clan was executed. Only her grandmother’s sacrifice saved her life. Everyone in court knew the emperor had spared the commandery lady merely to show the royal family’s benevolence and generosity. Once she came of age and was assigned a husband, her life would be as good as over. Only then would the Feng family truly be finished. No one expected the commandery lady to bring her case before the Imperial Clan Court and successfully divorce the heir of the marquis’s estate. She had gone to great lengths to escape that household. Yet no one could have imagined that the two would marry again.
