A fairy-like cousin girl came to Lord Wang’s house in the north of the city. She was born with a fairy-like appearance and a gentle temperament. She always had a soft and amiable smile on her face. She was known as the Guanyin Beauty in the house.... more>>

But such a good-tempered person only stays away from one person.

The eldest son of Marquis Xuanyang, the third son of the Xie family, Xie Qi.

*

In the year of the marriage proposal, Yu Zhao rejected Xie Qi’s proposal and married someone else.

Xie Qi is a man of destiny, vindictive and determined to get what he wants no matter what. This is probably the first time in his life that he has been rejected.

He must have hated her deeply in his heart.

Fortunately, he had gone to the border to fight, and she had married and moved far away to Youzhou. So they just lived their own lives and never had any contact with each other until they died.

This way she wouldn’t suffer any revenge from him.

*

They had been married for only half a year and their life was relatively peaceful, but things can change unexpectedly.

The country was in turmoil, with warlords vying for supremacy. Her husband tragically died of illness during this period. The Prince of Yan abandoned the city, ordering the gates closed and a three-day massacre before abandoning it. The Xie family army marched directly into Youzhou.

Thousands of troops passed by slowly, and her late cousin’s good friend, the prince of Xuanyang Marquis whom she had rejected in marriage, now the Xuanyang Marquis Xie Qi, slowly emerged from the team, reined in his horse, looked down at her with a cold smile on his blood-stained armor.

”Cousin, how are you?”

”It’s a pity that you ended up in my hands.”

The day he learned the good news, Xie Qi was furious on the battlefield.

As time passed, he had already become a feared war god general in the eyes of the world, and she, as the new daughter-in-law of the talented scholar and beautiful woman in Chang’an City, had now become a widow.

She is still as cold and stubborn as before.

But it doesn’t matter. Now that she is in his hands, he always has thousands of ways to make her submit.

He decided not to be soft on her anymore.

She was the one who abandoned him first, so it was only natural for him to keep her by his side and treat her with contempt at will. <<less
