An Ambitious Matriarch

Murong Jin had devoted nearly all her capable subordinates and resources to helping her husband, Sheng Ziyu, earn military honors on the front lines. Three years later, he returned with impressive victories, just as she had hoped, and the emperor rewarded him, making him a newly risen noble! But the emperor also bestowed honors on a woman Sheng Ziyu had brought back with him. He even took her into their home. In front of Murong Jin, the two insisted they were merely close friends, with no romantic feelings between them. But when Murong Jin saw the affection in the woman’s eyes as she looked at Sheng Ziyu, she understood everything. Hah! What a hypocritical man! Without my help, could you have come back with such great military achievements? Would all those pretty women out there even look twice at you? Rather than help him reach for the clouds, she would make her own fortune! Better to make yourself strong than rely on someone else! He was only a man. If they loved each other, she would let them have their way. Without Murong Jin’s support, Sheng Ziyu would be like a stray dog. Then they could see whether they were still in love, whether their devotion would remain so unshakable!
