About This Novel

The heroine Shen Qingyan is the eldest daughter of Shen Mansion, a declining family in Beijing. His father, Shen Shilang, was ambitious and mediocre in ability, so he emptied his family's wealth to make money. Instead, he owed huge debts, and the family was in danger. In order to protect himself, Shilang Shen did not hesitate to marry his daughter to General Lu Huaijin, the notorious "King of Hell" who guarded northern Xinjiang, in exchange for political backing and a chance to breathe. According to rumors from the outside world, Lu Huaijin was born in the army and was a prolific murderer. Because he was seriously injured on the battlefield, half of his face was covered with hideous scars. His temperament was even more violent and perverse. He was a ferocious god who could stop children from crying at night. Shen Qingyan's marriage was regarded as a flower stuck in cow dung among the elite circles in the capital. Everyone sighed and waited to see her tragic end. However, the core contradiction and reversal of the story lies in the fact that the two protagonists of this marriage both wear masks that are completely opposite to their true selves. The story revolves around the temptation, running-in and mutual redemption of these two masked people under the same roof after marriage. From the initial respect for each other like "ice", to experiencing the border crisis together, and then joining hands to fight against the conspiracy from the court, they peeled off each other's disguises layer by layer, and finally discovered the sincerity under the mask that also longed for warmth and understanding, creating a story that started with interests and ended with true love.
