My Abandoned Ex-Husband Rebelled

Copywriting: 1V1, SC | After abandoning her husband and child and running away, her ex-husband rebelled | Hating Literature.

After her family fell, Jiang Ruoyao fled to the border and became a maid for Prince Jin. Despite her humble status, her stunning beauty attracted a lot of trouble.

Prince Jin, Wei Jue, was not interested in women, which worried the Imperial Concubine. One day, Ruoyao made a grave mistake. On the verge of death, the Imperial Concubine saved her life, telling her to seduce the Prince and sleep with him, and her crimes would be forgiven.

Jiang Ruoyao readily agreed, deliberately approaching her master. Two months later, she completed her mission and saved her life. The Imperial Concubine was very satisfied and said, "Bear a son, and I will grant you freedom."

Jiang Ruoyao redoubled her efforts and took on the challenge. A year later, she gave birth to a young heir. The Imperial Concubine then said, "Have another child, and I'll give you one hundred thousand taels to leave." Jiang Ruoyao agreed, and two years later, she gave birth to a daughter.

After three years as a concubine, Jiang Ruoyao left completely, starting a new life. Coincidentally, her family's name was cleared, and Jiang Ruoyao was no longer of humble status. She returned to the capital to reunite with her relatives.

Once a noble daughter of an influential family, she had fallen into the dust and become a concubine. Fortunately, all that was in the past. From now on, she would be the esteemed noblewoman of a marquis's residence.

Jiang Ruoyao grew up as childhood sweethearts with the Emperor. After returning to the capital, her imperial cousin did not mind that she had been married and still wanted to marry her as his empress. What did it matter if she had been married and borne children? She still became the Empress.

But who would have thought that in just three years, the sickly Emperor would die an early death, plunging the world into chaos? Prince Jin raised an army to "cleanse the court" and forced his way into the palace to usurp the throne.

Meeting again in the Golden Kuan Hall, the former concubine had transformed into the Empress Dowager supporting the child emperor. He sneered, calling her "Imperial Sister-in-Law." Ruoyao's heart trembled, fearing he would pounce and tear her apart. To appease this wolf, Ruoyao made many compromises.

Ostensibly, she appeased him by granting him the position of Regent, but secretly, just like before, she sacrificed herself. Early stage: concubine * feudal lord. Later stage: empress dowager * regent.
