Marrying a treacherous official

[A cold-hearted noblewoman vs. a mad and critical minister]
Yunji was dignified and self-possessed; her only wish in this life was to marry into a noble family and become a respectable wife.
Unfortunately, the late emperor's decree betrothed her to the mad and powerful minister Cui Zeming.
After their marriage, their home became deserted, and they resented each other. When their property was confiscated, they ended up losing all their money and being scorned and cursed behind their backs.
Having been given a second chance at life, she defied his wishes and only wanted a divorce and to leave the mansion.
While he amassed wealth outside of officialdom, she distributed porridge and provided famine relief at Xiangguo Temple.
In the imperial court, he eliminated dissidents and framed learned scholars, leading to their convictions. She then went to the prison and removed the shackles from the old minister's body.
On the battlefield, he was blinded by rage and ordered the massacre of the city. Amidst the raging flames, she emerged from the remnant army camp and used her neck to block the bloodthirsty blade.

Cui Zeming often heard people say that Roujia Weize, the eldest daughter of the Gu family, was the most famous noblewoman in the capital.
A man should marry a virtuous woman.
Such a person of noble character should be buried with a treacherous minister like him, rotting together in the mud after death.
He had calculated everything, but he never expected that once he fell in love, he would be so infatuated with someone that he almost lost his mind.
