A Husband-Chasing Funeral Pyre? But I've Already Married the Princess

Cao Jin had worked himself to the bone, never complaining, to support the wife he'd rescued from human traffickers until she became a successful candidate in the imperial examinations. He thought his hard days were finally behind him, but after Lin Siyu passed the exams, she began plotting to divorce him. Worse, she coldly framed him and sent him to prison on false charges.

Heartbroken and despairing, Cao Jin thought his life was over. But just when all seemed lost, a mysterious noblewoman appeared in his cell, rescued him, and gave him the chance to start his life anew.

Even more unbelievably, the noblewoman was none other than the reigning empress!

Wait, he'd never even met the empress before. Why was she treating him so well? Could he really be her illegitimate son, lost and raised elsewhere?

Oh, she also wants to marry her youngest daughter off to him? Well, that explains it.

His ex-wife, Lin Siyu: "Now that you know what I was going through, why won't you give me another chance, dear?"

Eldest Princess Dugu Yongning: "Yongan, I don't think this man is right for you. Why don't you think it over again and let me find someone for you?"

Youngest Princess Dugu Yongan: "There's no need to trouble yourself, Sister. I'll decide who I marry!"
