You Take a Second Wife, I'll Divorce You: The Heir's Wife Rules the World

[Angst Before Payoff + Competing Love Interests + Groveling Until the End of Time + Fake Heiress and True Heiress + Second Male Lead Takes the Crown]

Leng Qingci was the fake heiress, but the Duke's household had raised her in luxury for over a decade.

She married into the Marquis's household as the heir's wife, only to be sent to Jingyun Convent on her wedding night without even having her veil lifted.

Three years after becoming a nun, Leng Qingci returned to the Marquis's household and discovered that her husband, who had once sworn eternal love to her, had already taken another wife. His new wife was the true heiress, recently welcomed back into the Duke's family.

The true heiress was pregnant, and her husband treated Leng Qingci, a fake heiress with nothing but the title of heir's wife, as a blood bank. He forced her to give blood day and night, and beat her whenever she displeased him.

An abusive husband, a hypocritical elder half-brother, a biased birth family, a cold-hearted mother-in-law...

Leng Qingci had had enough. She wrote a divorce agreement and left the Marquis's household with her head held high.

Who could have guessed that several royal relatives of Dayun would all come vying for her overnight?

The Crown Prince: "Leng Qingci, you cannot escape my grasp."

The Second Prince: "Qingci, if I proposed to you, would you marry me?"

The Fifth Prince: "If I forced myself on Third Sister-in-law here, would she die of shame?"

The Great General: "I've kept the sword tassel you gave me for eight whole years."

One day, the former husband who had treated her like trash knelt in the street before her, kowtowing and begging. "Qingci, please forgive me. Have mercy and save the Marquis's household!"

Later, she held command of an army of three hundred thousand, killing anyone who stood in her way, even if they were gods or Buddhas.

Later still, the man who won the struggle for the throne gave her the imperial phoenix seal as a token of love, crowned her Empress of Dayun, and made her the mother of the realm.

Those who had bullied, humiliated, and treated her like dirt no longer had the right even to gaze up at the corner of her phoenix robe.
