May I Always Stand by Your Side

An alternate world: marriage first, love later; mutual devotion; both devoted to one another; no transmigration; no rebirth.

One is a powerful second son who never earns his father’s favor.

The other is the legitimate eldest daughter, oppressed by a mother who favors sons over daughters.

They have known each other since childhood, but fate keeps them apart until their parents’ arranged marriage brings them together again.

He thinks she is forcing him into it; she thinks it is a cage.

Thinking himself clever, he hands her a divorce agreement as soon as they are married.

But after he recognizes the woman in front of him, he clings to her relentlessly, and they reconcile.

He understands how hard her life has been, teaches her to read, and trains alongside her in martial arts.

Whatever she needs, he indulges her in every way.

And she is no ingrate.

When he is in danger, she stands by him without hesitation.

But hardship does not spare them.

When the previous generation’s grudges and feuds weigh them down, how will the two of them escape their oppression?

Facing his father’s disdain, how will the unambitious second son finally break free and emerge anew?
