His Majesty Battles for Me in the Household // 陛下替我來宅鬥

Author: Bei Xue // 杯雪

Synopsis:

Meng Fu, as the wife of Marquis Xuanping, managed household affairs, honored her in-laws, and handled the rivalries among his concubines. She fulfilled all the duties of a marquis's wife, yet she never received her husband's affection. Meng Fu didn't love Marquis Xuanping and wasn't disheartened. She foresaw a life as serene as still water until one day she woke up with someone calling her "Your Majesty" beside her ear.

...The palace staff and officials felt that their emperor had changed. Before, as soon as he opened his mouth, he would scold them until their heads ached. Now, he was as gentle as a spring breeze, asking if they were hungry or thirsty.

"I can do this! I can serve His Majesty for another hundred years!"

Marquis Xuanping noticed a change in his wife. She used to be virtuous and gentle, but now she was like a firecracker, easily igniting. Yesterday, she scolded his favorite concubine to tears; today, she kicked him into the lake.

A domestic dispute? I'll tear your house down!

...When Marquis Xuanping divorced Meng Fu, he confidently predicted that she would regret it one day. In the prestigious households of the Capital City, who would want a woman who had been previously married?

"I will."
