I’m Done Being a Dutiful Wife! Prince, Please Show Me Some Tenderness

Ming Hua’s life has been full of misfortune. Her father doesn’t love her, her mother is useless, and when she comes of age, she’s to be handed over to a powerful family in exchange for her family’s safety.

She comes up with a scheme and gets her wish: she marries the newly appointed top scholar!

She thinks she’s on her way to a happy life, but on her wedding night, someone wearing red wedding robes climbs into her bed and takes her for himself.

The day the truth comes out, Ming Hua stops pretending to be a virtuous, gentle wife.

She slaps her shrewish mother-in-law, beats her shameless sister-in-law, and even smashes her hypocritical husband over the head before throwing a divorce notice in his face.

“Ming! Once you walk out that door, don’t you dare regret it!”

Regret? Not a chance in hell!

Ming Hua turns around and moves into Prince Xiao’s residence.

You’ve got to be kidding. She’s going to show everyone in the capital that this discarded wife can make the so-called great hero wash her feet every night, and that she’ll become his officially wedded princess consort!

“What makes you think I’d want a divorced woman?” The proud, unruly man toys with the dagger in his hand and sneers at the woman who doesn’t know her place.

The beauty curls her lips into a smile. “Because I can make you beg at my feet, living or dying. Your Highness, don’t you want to find out?”

But a year later, the people of the capital see Chu Lixiao block Ming Hua at her door. “If you won’t marry me, I’ll just carry you off and make you my empress.”
