Demote Me to a Concubine? I’ll Marry the Regent Instead and Send Your Whole Scumbag Family to Their Graves

"Xu Shi, Yiyi is my true love. If you want to stay in the Gao family, then lower yourself to the status of a concubine."

Three years ago, Gao Yunting was gravely wounded on the battlefield and fell into a coma. Taking a token from the Xu family, the Gao matriarch went to Divine Physician Valley and called in a past debt of gratitude to secure Xu Mingzhu as his bride.

After marrying into the Gao family, Xu Mingzhu treated her husband, cared for her mother-in-law, and turned a declining household into a thriving one. She even woke Gao Yunting, whom the chief imperial physician had declared would never recover.

She thought her good days had finally come.

Who could have guessed that the first thing Gao Yunting did after waking was bring his mistress and her child into the household, and then demote his wife to a concubine?

She waved a hand. This old lady wasn't putting up with it anymore.

He refuses to divorce her for the sake of appearances?

Fine. She'll make the Gao household a living nightmare, and return it to the state it was in three years ago, when she first arrived.

Gao Yunting doesn't want to be branded ungrateful? Then she'll make sure he loses face inside and out.

Gao Yunting wants to use her connections to climb the ladder? Then she'll ruin his reputation and destroy his prospects.

Gao Yunting threatens her: "You're all alone in the capital. What can you possibly do against the Gao family?"

Before Xu Mingzhu can answer, the Prince Regent steps forward.

"Who says she's all alone in the capital? I am her backing."

On the day Xu Mingzhu takes her divorce papers, the Prince Regent rushes over to take her away.

Gao Yunting kneels at the gate, filled with regret. "Mingzhu, I was wrong."

"If you'll come back to me, I promise you'll be the only woman in my life, for all eternity."

Xu Mingzhu doesn't even look at him. She swings onto the Prince Regent's horse. "I'm not a cow. I don't like going back to old grass."
