Stealing My Minister's Wife: The Mad Emperor's Ruthless Pursuit

"This humble woman pays her respects to Your Majesty."

Song Erya knelt before the throne, cold sweat soaking through her back.

The new emperor on the dragon throne had a striking red mole at the end of his brow. He was unmistakably the mute son-in-law she had bought for nine strings of cash six years ago, the one she had beaten and forced to bear a child!

"The crime of deceiving the emperor warrants the execution of your entire clan." Zhou Yan Heng picked up the swallow-embroidered handkerchief she had dropped, his voice cold as ice. "Song Er Ya, you're quite good at running away, aren't you?"

She pleaded in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, please spare my son..."

The former peasant woman became a general's wife, but he was determined to tear away her disguise.

Humiliated at palace banquets, framed by the imperial consort, rejected by her husband... She kept her head down and avoided the limelight, but he pressed her at every turn. "Only I get to protect my own stain."

Then, as an assassin's blade flashed, she fought back with all her strength to protect her young son. Zhou Yan Heng pulled her into his arms, eyes red. "This time, I'll wipe out every enemy of yours."

Amid the lingering scent of dragon's incense, he murmured by her ear, "The empress's throne is vacant. How about I become your son-in-law again?"
