The Empress Called Me a Hooligan on Our Wedding Night, So I Slaughtered My Way Through the Court

Reborn on my wedding night, I had just dodged a poisoned cup of wine that should have killed me when my own empress wife shouted in public that I had assaulted her! Our lawful wedding night was framed as a crime, and the treacherous ministers in court sat back and waited for me to be disgraced and die from the poison. In my previous life, I had given everything to protect her empire and keep her alive, only to die a horrible sacrificial death while the empress perished with her country. Now that I'm reborn, I'm done pretending! I'll tear up my loyal-minister persona! You dare poison me and seize power? I'll crush you on the spot! You dare stage a coup? I'll wipe out your entire family! The arrogant empress still wants to lay down rules and live together in a sham marriage? Shen Jingchuan sneers: “You married me. You're mine, and so is your empire!” From tonight on, I'll kill the corrupt ministers, bring the great clans to heel, subdue the vassal kings, and crush the barbarians. I'll bring the aloof, pure-hearted empress firmly under my thumb and rule the world!
