My Official's Wife Is Hard to Woo

After many years of marriage, the two had treated each other with mutual respect. An imperial edict shattered their fragile harmony. The loveless emperor pressed her at every turn, demanding that she divorce her husband because she was a minister’s wife. Xu Qianyan smiled bitterly. After all their twists and turns, they had ended up back where they started. She couldn’t bear to see her “husband” hurt again. So she willingly returned to the smoke-filled imperial harem with the daughter they shared. But little by little, she realized that this ruthless tyrant simply couldn’t bring himself to say what he really felt, and that layer upon layer of misunderstandings stood between them. At last, the fog lifted. Only then did she learn how humble the emperor had been all along.
