After Divorcing My Ex-Husband, I Became the Prince's Consort

At just twenty-two, the Marquis of Wu'an was the youngest marquis in the dynasty. He held the position of Vice Minister of Rites and had a brilliant future ahead of him. As the Marchioness of Wu'an, Lu Wanzhi was a noblewoman envied by everyone in Chang'an. Three years into their marriage, Lu Wanzhi had managed the entire marquis's household in perfect order, yet her husband devoted himself entirely to his mistress's daughter and refused to set foot in her chambers. When the mistress gave birth to a son, her husband even wanted to register the boy under Lu Wanzhi's name. Lu Wanzhi submitted a lawsuit accusing him of keeping a mistress to the Chang'an magistrate's office and divorced the Marquis of Wu'an. Outside the Chang'an government office, the Marquis of Wu'an glared viciously at Lu Wanzhi. “After our divorce, I can marry any noblewoman I want. As for you, you'll probably only be able to marry an old widower as his second wife. What young heir from a prestigious family would want you?” Lu Wanzhi replied lightly, “That is no concern of yours, Marquis.” After the divorce, everyone in Chang'an laughed at Lu Wanzhi. “She was only a marquis's beloved mistress. A mistress is still a mistress in the end. She couldn't even be a little magnanimous.” “After a divorce, she is a discarded wife. It will be difficult for her to marry a marquis again.” “She'll probably have to marry an old widower.” At the Lu residence, Young Prince Chu looked pitiful. “Zhizhi, when will you finally give me a status?” Lu Wanzhi said, “When you place first in the palace examination.” The young prince, who had always been utterly unstudious, devoted himself to becoming the top scholar for love.
