The Phoenix and Luan Were Born to Sing in Harmony

On their wedding night, Song Huaijin promised to earn her a noble title, then left for Jiangnan that very night to control the floods.

For two years, she kept her ambitions in check and fulfilled her duties as a wife. She used her dowry to cover the Song family's household expenses, honored her parents-in-law, and nursed Madam Song through her illness.

In return, Song Huaijin used his accomplishments to ask for the fake heiress to become his secondary wife.

Song Huaijin sneered at her: “You may be the legitimate daughter of a marquis, but you were born in the countryside, crude and uncouth.

“You are a caged sparrow. She is the phoenix who soars through the sky.”

Gu Qingli sneered and divorced him on the spot. She could ride into battle and fight with the best of them, or pick up a brush and manage affairs on the home front.

It wasn't that she couldn't be a phoenix. It was that... Song Huaijin had never been worthy of one in the first place.
