Keep Your Dutiful Ladies. The Heir Apparent Loves Me, His Black-Hearted Lotus

Xie Lingyue has a secret: the military honors her husband earned were really hers! For twenty years, she poured her heart and soul into planning every move for him, helping him rise to the rank of general and earn a title of nobility, and winning glory for his entire family. But when she was worn out and near death, he cast her aside for failing to give him a child and took a concubine, all within his rights as a husband. Her mother urged her, “A woman should obey her husband. Just put up with it, and it will pass.” When she opened her eyes again, she was back on the day her fate had changed. In this life, she would give up her reputation as a virtuous wife and remarry the “short-lived” heir, then wait to become a widow. But no matter how long she waited, why hadn't the heir died yet? On their wedding night, Xiao Yunmo decided to teach his frail bride a lesson. She had begged the emperor to marry him and insisted she would wed no one else. He would leave her alone in their bridal chamber until she learned her place and backed down. But his bride neither cried nor made a scene. In one swift move, she tossed all his bedding outside and locked the door. He was dumbfounded. This woman wasn't at all what he had expected. Later, the young heir would show up at her door night after night, clutching his bedding and knocking pitifully. “My lady, I was wrong!” The short-lived heir is still alive and keeps trying to crawl into her bed. What should she do?
