[Strong Female Lead and Strong Male Lead] [Older Woman/Younger Man Romance] [Winning Her Back] [Revenge] [Political Intrigue] [Satisfying Read] [The Fate of the Nation]
A resourceful and calculating princess versus a two-faced, battle-hardened young general
Twelve years ago, Shen Yirong came to Yangzhou amid the chaos.
When she first arrived, refugees were everywhere, the land lay barren, corrupt officials ran rampant, and the whole place was lifeless.
Over the next twelve years, Shen Yirong amassed wealth, won over the powerful, and wove a network of informants. She was determined to take revenge on everyone who had hurt her.
Along the way, she also took in a younger man who had secretly loved her.
Facing his enemies, Huo Jin'an is a fierce and ruthless general.
Facing his romantic rivals, Huo Jin'an is an arrogant and confident young nobleman.
Facing Shen Yirong, Huo Jin'an is a scheming, clingy big puppy.
Shen Yirong gazed helplessly at the pitiful man in front of her and asked, "Huo Jin'an, do you have to cling to me every moment of every day?"
Content warning: The story moves rather slowly at first, but picks up once the female lead returns to take revenge. The female lead is five years older than the male lead and was previously married to a consort. There are some intimate scenes in her memories, so proceed with caution if that bothers you!
Be sure to work hard!
