## What Is The Remarried Empress About?

The story follows Navier, the admired Empress of the Eastern Empire. Her husband brings home a mistress and asks for a divorce. Rather than accept defeat, Navier agrees but asks to marry a rival prince of the Western Kingdom, setting off a tale of political intrigue, romance and a fight to reclaim power. Think royal drama with a revenge-flavoured twist. [Variety](https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/disney-korea-webtoon-the-remarried-empress-live-action-series-1236436036)
