My Brother-in-Law Came to Divorce Me? But I’m the Empress!

[Sweet and satisfying, no angst] [Two sisters, two couples] [Tough female general vs. arrogant emperor] [Delicate flower vs. yandere powerful official]

Xue Jin spent decades going to war disguised as a man, becoming the best of brothers with the young emperor Xiao Shiyin.

On the eve of her triumphant return to the capital, the empress dowager sent her a secret order: fake her death on the battlefield, reclaim her identity as a woman, and marry into the imperial harem.

Xiao Shiyin thought he had married his best friend's younger sister.

By day, he treated her with utter coldness;

By night, he knelt, drunk, before his "best friend's" grave and wept.

"A Jin, the court officials are all pressuring me to father children with your sister. I don't want to."

"Your sister is always making me angry, and the empress dowager does nothing but take her side. No one understands me."

"Only A Jin understands me."

Until one day, Xiao Shiyin saw his empress flip eight guards over with one hand, her skill just like that of the war god who had supposedly died.

He froze in place, his eyes reddening. "A Jin, your sister is so much like you!"

Xue Ruoxi had always been gentle by nature. After marrying into the Huo family, she dutifully cared for her mother-in-law, even though her husband left her alone on their wedding night to go to war.

But the first thing her husband did upon returning to the capital was divorce her and marry someone else.

Luckily, her elder sister came home to stand up for her. She was done pretending!

Forget being virtuous and proper. She would curse the scoundrel and his ancestors for eighteen generations!

The scoundrel was stripped of his title, the Xue family rose to prominence, and he regretted everything too late.

The cold and aloof legitimate son of the prime minister, renowned in every rumor, stood protectively before her. "Don't be afraid. From now on, I'll protect you."
