Her Ex-Husband Came to the Capital with the New Emperor, Forcing Her to Marry Again

Xiao Yiwan has spent fifteen years as a noble young lady when she learns that her father ruined the marriage her grandfather had arranged for her. She immediately finds herself a new husband.

Unexpectedly, two years into their marriage, her husband divorces her to marry into the imperial family.

Meanwhile, her former betrothed enters the capital with the new emperor and is made a marquis for his service.

Just as Xiao Yiwan is lamenting her miserable fate, an imperial decree arrives, reuniting her with her former betrothed.

On their wedding night, the stern, cold-hearted marquis lays down the law: "I married you on the emperor's orders. In a year, we'll divorce."

Xiao Yiwan agrees on the surface, then turns around and collapses weakly into his arms, trying every trick in the book to make him fall for her.

When she learns that Xue Yuxiu has feelings for her stepsister, she thinks, I'm doomed. I've definitely been given the script for a tragic romance.

Xiao Yiwan makes a desperate attempt to fight back, and Xue Yuxiu promptly gives up on her stepsister.

She scratches her head. Is this man... really that easy to win over?

A year later, the emperor hears that the eldest Miss Xiao wants a divorce and has even gone to complain to the empress.

He summons Xue Yuxiu and scolds him. "You rascal, I knew what you were thinking when I issued that decree. Hurry up and sweet-talk her into coming back."

How can she be talking about divorce when she's pregnant!
