After Our Marriages Were Switched, My Husband Ascended the Throne!

After getting a second chance at life, Wen Yaoyue wants nothing more than to live comfortably, eat her fill, and wait for death. But she is forced into a marriage swap and wed to the dying yet exceptionally gifted Prince Ze.

From then on, Yaoyue is dragged into saving her husband (or he will die),

exposing fake admirers (or they will never leave her in peace),

and fighting for the throne (or she will be hunted forever).

Yaoyue never gives up on her wish to live comfortably and wait for death. After saving her husband, dealing with the admirers, and winning the succession struggle, she resolutely leaves. But all the factions are restless, the realm is unsettled, and peace is out of reach, let alone a comfortable life of eating her fill and waiting for death.

So Yaoyue begins helping Prince Ze unify the realm (she's being forced into it, okay?).

Once everything is settled, just as Yaoyue is preparing to enjoy a peaceful life of comfort and idleness, the crown of Empress comes crashing down on her head.

So Yaoyue can only become a low-quality Empress, living a high-quality life of eating her fill and waiting for death (after all, that was her plan from the start; becoming Empress was forced on her).

On their wedding night:

"Miss, aren't you waiting for Prince Ze?"

"He can barely get out of bed. He's not coming."

Outside the door: "Greetings, Your Highness."

"I found you a concubine, and granted her the position of equal wife."

"Don't be ridiculous. It's time to sleep."

"The princess consort has invested in a handsome tycoon and is planning to leave you in secret."

"Haven't I given her enough money?"

The princess consort is kidnapped and taken to Dongyuan.

"I will petition to reclaim Dongyuan."

The princess consort escapes to Nanchen.

"Nanchen needs to be weakened. I will go there and make plans."

The princess consort goes to Beiming to save an old friend.

"I will go save the princess consort."

Yaoyue packs her belongings.

"The realm has been unified. Where else can the Empress run?"
