Thus, the male protagonist silenced all the critics.
Even if there are different opinions among the people, as long as the majority of the people believe it, the goal has been achieved.
As for the female lead, her marriage to the male lead was actually a fulfillment of her wish.
The beginning of the story between the male and female leads is very cliché. The female lead, who was in her teens at the time, was saved by the male lead once, and she fell in love with him at first sight.
After they got married, she watched as the male protagonist amassed a large harem of beauties, yet she still regarded him as her everything.
The male lead also puts on a very good show of politeness; even though he has taken in countless beauties, he still puts the female lead first.
At least from the readers' perspective, the female lead did not receive the only favor, but she received the most favor.
This type of story mainly recounts the male protagonist's eventful life, while the female protagonist and other women are mostly portrayed as supporting characters.
As for the male supporting characters, they are naturally the male lead's two brothers. They have had some contact with the female lead, and although it's not romantic love, the connection is deep and can be considered a kind of friendship.
In the end, the male protagonist held power for decades, raised countless children, and became a great emperor throughout history.
His first wife never thought of posthumously awarding him a title until his death.
As time flows on, this woman has been deliberately forgotten.

……………………………………
As soon as Jiang Tian opened her eyes, she heard a high-pitched voice: "Madam, please rest assured, the general will surely remember your hardships and will not stop offering sacrifices. He will also protect your family. You can go in peace."
The eunuch deliberately lowered his voice, his expression carrying a strong hint.
Jiang Tian quietly observed him for a while, then suddenly said, "You've had it tough too, risking your life to deliver this message."
The eunuch was taken aback for a moment, looking somewhat moved. He lowered his eyes and said, "If I can help the general achieve great things, my life will not have been in vain."
"Okay, give me the rope."
Jiang Tian gave the instructions.
The eunuch's face lit up with joy, and he quickly and secretly handed her the rope.
When he went out, his face had returned to a calm and expressionless state, and no one could tell that he had just risked his life for someone.
Jiang Tian put the rope away and then began to eat her meal in peace.
Less than an hour later, several palace maids came to the small courtyard where she was imprisoned.
"She's clearly the wife of a traitor, yet we're expected to serve her. It's an insult!"
"His Majesty is fond of cleanliness and sent us here because he was afraid that Prince Pei would have any regrets on his wedding night. No matter who we are, we must serve him and do whatever he is told. Just do your jobs honestly."
An older palace maid said.
The palace maids exchanged glances and fell silent, quietly helping Jiang Tian with her hair and makeup.
As for Jiang Tian, no matter how clear-headed she is, in other people's eyes she is just a prisoner.
It was just a "small thing" to belittle her to her face.
After washing up, Jiang Tian restyled her hair, applied rouge and lipstick, and changed into her red wedding dress.
"His Majesty said that tonight is your wedding night with Prince Pei. The night is too short, so cherish the person in front of you."
After the palace maid finished speaking, she left with the other palace maids, leaving Jiang Tian alone in the room.
This gap was the perfect opportunity for her to hang herself; everyone around her had lost their guard and wouldn't have expected her to die at this moment.
Unfortunately, Jiang Tian didn't move at all; she just sat there with her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep.
Half an hour later, the door was pushed open, and several guards carried in Pei Ziye, who was bound hand and foot.
After untying Pei Ziye's ropes, they quickly closed the door.
Not long after, a hole was made in the window, and wisps of smoke drifted into the room.
What the smoke contains is self-evident.
The two people in the room immediately became unsteady on their feet.
Pei Ziye was once seen as a handsome young man and a spirited heir in the Marquis's mansion, but now he is so disheveled that his eyes are red and he dares not move.
Jiang Tian is his friend's wife; he cannot get involved with her.
Both of them were dressed in wedding attire, like a newlywed couple, but the atmosphere was extremely tense, and neither of them uttered a word.
Their increasingly flushed faces clearly showed that they were enduring it.
After a while, Jiang Tian moved.
She was sitting quietly on the tatami mat when she suddenly stood up.
Pei Ziye, on the other hand, huddled in another corner of the room.
He already had a young and handsome face with fair skin, and when the medicine took effect, his face turned noticeably red.
He was brought here after he had washed up, and his jet-black hair was still half-dry.
Just as he was gritting his teeth and enduring it, he heard a sound and looked in the direction it came from, only to see Jiang Tian walking towards him.
His voice was very hoarse when he spoke: "What...do you want?"
Jiang Tian walked to his side and, without saying a word, began to undress him.
Pei Ziye endured so much that the veins on his hands bulged, and when he smelled the faint fragrance emanating from Jiang Tian, his eyes reddened.
He tried to reach out and push Jiang Tian away, but he couldn't muster any strength.
"What...what are you doing?"
Pei Ziye asked with difficulty, each word distinct. At this moment, his outer robe had been taken off and thrown on the ground.
Jiang Tian stared at him; the two were now only inches apart.
"Didn't you see what I'm going to do?"
Her face was also flushed.
Pei Ziye was startled and instinctively grabbed her hand, his voice filled with panic: "No, we can't..."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Tian crying in front of him.
Her tone was sarcastic: "Can't? I was married off to a sickly man who wouldn't live long, and everyone told me I couldn't run away; I was then married off to a traitor who didn't care about my life or death, and suffered countless humiliations, but he sent someone to tell me I couldn't lose my chastity as a woman, and that I should just kill myself as soon as possible."
As she said this, a large tear rolled down her cheek and landed on Pei Ziye's face: "I've spent my whole life for my family and my reputation, living a life worse than death, only to be abandoned by everyone in the end. Why can't I? As long as I can live, what can't I do?!"
Every word was written in blood.
After speaking, she took off another piece of Pei Ziye's clothing.
After hearing this, Pei Ziye felt a pang of pity for Jiang Tian, but he still refused. He said with difficulty, "If you can get through this night, I will help you. Please stop..."
Jiang Tian stared at him intently, then chuckled softly. She bent down and said to Pei Ziye in a very low voice, "I've been married to two husbands, yet I'm still a virgin... Don't you think that's ridiculous?"
Pei Ziye's eyes widened, and her ears turned bright red.
"Even if I were to die tomorrow, I would still want to experience something different."
With a whoosh, Jiang Tian took off all her clothes and threw them on the ground.
Upon seeing the scene before him, Pei Ziye's mind went blank. He tried to retreat, but found himself facing a wall with nowhere to go.
Jiang Tian had long, flowing hair and an extremely beautiful face. She bent down, looked at Pei Ziye who was suffering terribly, gently stroked his face, and said softly, "If you are unwilling, I will end my own life immediately. Whether I live or die is entirely up to you, Your Highness."
She was so white, soft, fragrant, and alluring.
Pei Ziye's eyes were bloodshot. Seeing the tears welling up in her eyes as she said that her life was in his hands, the last thread in his mind finally snapped.
"I...I want you to give birth..."
