After Breaking Off My Engagement, I Became the Master of the Six Palaces

Su Jingyan was the only legitimate daughter of Duke Xuan and his wife, and had been doted on from the moment she was born. At sixteen, she received an imperial marriage decree from the Empress Dowager. Amid the envious gazes of Chang'an's people, Su Jingyan married Xiao Ting, the Regent and the Great Tang's fearsome god of war. On their wedding day, Su Jingyan waited in her bridal chamber from morning until dusk, but the groom never came to fetch her. It was only after night fell that she learned Xiao Ting had abandoned his bride on their wedding day to go fight on the frontier. After Su Jingyan waited for him for three years, victory finally came at the border. Xiao Ting returned in triumph with a delicate young woman and announced that he would make her his consort. He gave Su Jingyan a letter breaking off their engagement. After being cast aside, Su Jingyan endured the mockery of everyone around her. Unable to bear seeing Su Jingyan ridiculed, the Empress Dowager resolved to marry her to the most powerful man in the Great Tang dynasty. Not long after, Xiao Ting regretted breaking off the engagement. He knelt outside the Duke of Xuan's estate and proposed again and again, only to be rejected by Su Jingyan every time. Xiao Ting: “Heh, you want to marry the most powerful man? In the Great Tang, can you find a husband more powerful than me?” Su Jingyan glanced at the young emperor beside her, who was enjoying the show, and pointed at him. “Isn't he more powerful than you?” The young emperor, who had been enjoying the show: “???” The Empress Dowager then issued an imperial decree, marrying Su Jingyan to the emperor and making her empress. With the decree issued, Su Jingyan went from being the jilted Regent's consort to becoming mistress of the imperial harem.
