After Our Marriages Were Switched, My Husband Ascended the Throne!

After being reborn, Wen Yaoyue only wanted to enjoy a comfortable life of eating her fill and waiting to die. Instead, she was forced into a marriage swap and wed to the gravely ill but exceptionally talented Prince Ze.

From then on, Yaoyue was dragged into one mess after another: saving her husband, or he would die; dealing with fake love interests, or she would never know peace; and fighting for the throne, or she would be hunted for the rest of her life.

Yaoyue never gave up on her dream of eating well and waiting to die. After saving her husband, getting rid of the love interests, and securing the throne, she resolutely left. But with all sides in turmoil and the realm unsettled, peace remained out of reach, let alone a comfortable life of eating her fill and waiting to die.

So Yaoyue embarked on the road to helping Prince Ze unify the realm. She was forced into that, too.

Once everything was settled, just as Yaoyue was preparing to enjoy a peaceful life of eating her fill and waiting to die, a grand title was thrust upon her: Empress.

So Yaoyue had to settle for being a low-quality empress, living a high-quality life of eating her fill and waiting to die. After all, that had always been her dream. Becoming empress was the part she hadn't asked for.

On their wedding night:

“Miss, aren't you going to wait for Prince Ze?”

“He can't even get out of bed. He won't come.”

Outside the door: “Greetings, Your Highness.”

…

“I've arranged for you to take her as a concubine and given her the status of secondary wife.”

“Don't be ridiculous. It's time for bed.”

…

“Your Highness, the Princess Consort has invested in a handsome tycoon and is planning to leave you in secret.”

“Didn't I give her enough money?”

The Princess Consort was abducted to Dongyuan.

“I'll petition to reclaim Dongyuan.”

The Princess Consort fled to Nanchen.

“Nanchen needs to be weakened. I'll go make arrangements.”

The Princess Consort went to Beiming to rescue an old friend.

“I'm going to rescue the Princess Consort.”

Yaoyue packed her belongings.

“The realm is already unified. Where else can the empress run?”
