A Hostage Prince Hated by All for Three Years: The Princess Cuts Ties and Seizes the Throne

[Angst before triumph + regret and redemption + severing family ties for good + an ex who begs for her back + two powerful leads]

She is the Eldest Princess of the Lan Kingdom. For the sake of peace between two nations, she resolutely embarks on the humiliating path of a political marriage to the Siyou Kingdom.

During three years of marriage, she suffers endless abuse and nearly loses her life. In secret, she gathers intelligence and sends it home, helping the Lan Kingdom defeat Siyou.

She returns home full of joy, only to be betrayed by her younger sister, Su Wanrou, and her beloved, Mu Jingxing. Falsely accused of being a spy, she is confined to the Cold Palace and subjected to every humiliation.

If even her family treats her this way, then she will cut ties with them!

This time, she will never look back!

War flares up again at the border, but Su Luowei decides to stand aside.

Unexpectedly, her father and mother come with the very people who once slandered her, kneeling before her to beg for forgiveness and plead with her to put her country first. They want her to return to Siyou, reconcile with her former husband, and stop the war from escalating.

She smiles coldly. If they want her help, they can hand over the throne first.

If they can't rule this empire, then let her do it!

She turns her back on her family, removes every obstacle, and ascends the throne.

But no one knows that, deep in the night, the emperor of an enemy kingdom sneaks into her bed. “My lady, your husband knows he was wrong. Please don't be angry anymore, all right?”

She might be willing to stop being angry, and reconciliation isn't out of the question. But... they're both emperors, so who gets to be empress?
