After Divorcing the Top Scholar, I Ruled the Empire

share time: 2025-10-19 12:36:33

Su Wanqing, daughter of the prime minister, married Shen Zhaoheng, a poor top scholar, against all odds, believing she’d found true love. Yet she soon learned her husband merely used her family’s influence to climb the ranks—he colluded with enemies to frame the Su family for treason (leading to their execution) and even handed her a divorce letter when she fell from grace. Surviving the disaster, Su took the name “Wan Zhao” and infiltrated the palace as a convict’s daughter. With sharp political acumen, she rose from a palace maid to the queen’s most trusted confidante, seizing the emperor’s desire to weaken nobles to build her own faction. When she finally stood at power’s peak, facing a remorseful Shen begging for reconciliation and court enemies eyeing her, she wanted more than revenge—she wanted control. This time, both the empire and her love-hate fate would be hers to command.
