As the legitimate daughter of a military household, Jiang Shu made only one reckless choice in her life: insisting on marrying Lu Kanjing, whose fate was unknown, and becoming his wife.
On their wedding day, Lu Kanjing returned with the corpses of her father and brothers, declaring that the General’s household had betrayed the country.
Flames engulfed the vast general’s estate. Jiang Shu fled in disarray and climbed into a carriage by the roadside, only to attract the attention of someone even more dangerous.
Meng Yunzhan, Marquis Pingyang, was rumored to be cruel and ruthless, a mass murderer who killed relatives as easily as he shelled beans.
Dressed in white, he was peerlessly elegant, his eyes filled with indifference.
“Want me to save you? Fine. I’m missing someone to share my bed.”
“This bracelet is made with a special technique. Once you put it on, only I can take it off.”
Was this... a shackle? Jiang Shu forced herself to hold steady and extended her wrist.
But Meng Yunzhan said, “Put it on yourself.”
He was making her trample her own dignity underfoot.
Determined to take revenge, Jiang Shu’s hand trembled as she slipped the jade bracelet onto her own wrist.
Only later, when all the turmoil had settled, did she realize the bracelet might not have been meant as an insult at all.
This book focuses on the process of two people getting along. I always felt that there was less to learn after reading it. Many characters were passed by in passing, and the ending was very sudden [laughing and crying]
