The Endless Decree

Rong Zhizhi climbed three thousand steps to beg for life-saving medicine for her husband. But when he returned victorious, he brought back a pregnant princess from another country and planned to demote Rong Zhizhi from wife to concubine!

“Manhua is a princess, and she's carrying my child. So what if you give up your place as my principal wife?”

“My son isn't divorcing you, he's only making you a concubine. That's an act of mercy. If you leave the marquis's residence, who else wouldn't despise you?”

“Even though my brother is demoting you from wife to concubine, if you give me your dowry as my bridal dowry, I'll still call you sister-in-law!”

“As a woman, you should sacrifice for your husband! He's only asking you to become a concubine and give up some of your dowry. Why are you making a fuss?”

Facing this family, Rong Zhizhi considers the past three years of devotion to have been wasted on a pack of dogs. Every last thing they owe her, they'll pay back!

She divorces him without hesitation, turns her ex-husband's family upside down, takes every bit of her dowry, and gives the other half of her ex-husband's remaining life-saving medicine to someone else...

Later, her ex-husband, once again a cripple, becomes the laughingstock of the entire capital. She marries a powerful minister and becomes the honored wife of the Grand Secretary. Even the Emperor respectfully calls her his adoptive mother!
