The Salted Fish Matriarch Loves to Eat Melons

Since childhood, even the slightest error in her conduct would result in her being slapped on the palms. After Vice Minister Wen's concubine passed away immediately after giving birth to a daughter, the Vice Minister transferred all the favoritism he once held for his "white moonlight" onto their daughter. He named her Mingzhu and spoiled her like a precious pearl. Since childhood, Wen Mingzhu has been the darling of the capital; even the princes liked her. A concubine's daughter from the Vice Minister's manor could not become the Crown Princess. The Crown Prince knelt and begged for a side-consort position for her, but she desired "one life, one love, one couple." When the imperial decree for the marriage arrived, she fled. To save the lives of the hundreds of members of the Wen family, Vice Minister Wen forced his legitimate eldest daughter to marry in her stead. The Emperor and Empress were pleased to see the legitimate daughter of the Wen family marry in her place, but the Crown Prince grew to hate Wen Qingwan from then on, never bestowing his favor upon her. Wen Qingwan adhered to etiquette and showed filial piety to her elders. Even though the Crown Prince treated her with coldness like iron, she gave him her heart and soul, handling everything personally and diligently. She outlived the Crown Princess, and after the Crown Prince ascended the throne, he crowned her Empress. Meanwhile, Wen Mingzhu fled her marriage and married the heir of the Duke of State's manor, only to discover after the wedding that the heir was a mama's boy who allowed the Old Madam and his female cousin to torment her. With the support of the Crown Prince and her father and brothers, she easily obtained a divorce. However, when she remarried the second legitimate son of the Prime Minister's manor, she discovered he was a pervert... Finally, she married into a fallen Marquis's manor, but before she could even make a move, she was beaten to death by domestic violence. Having married five times in five years, she died with her eyes wide open in resentment. Opening her eyes again, she felt that the Crown Prince was the only good one in the world. She decided not to flee the marriage, and even demanded her father marry her legitimate elder sister to the worst domestic abuser. Years later, when the Crown Prince was demoted to a commoner and she was left wandering the streets, her elder sister had become a Marquis of ten thousand households.
