A Widow for a Wife, a War God Uncle Who Only Wants to Fall in Love

Yun Xueli had just married, but before they could consummate the marriage, her husband left for the battlefield. The Duke of Jingguo's family had five generals. Four died in battle, leaving only her younger brother-in-law, Li Jingzhi, alive. An insider's plot and his political rivals' schemes led to Li Jingzhi being drugged. He returned and barged into the bridal chamber! Inside, they were caught up in a passionate embrace. When he came to his senses, he knelt before her with a short blade in his hand, looking exhausted and despairing. “Third sister-in-law, I'm sorry. Kill me.” She pushed down her complicated feelings, fetched her medical kit, and turned to treat his wounds. “We can settle what happened between us after we've avenged your father and brothers.” Li Jingzhi, the fourth son of the Duke of Jingguo, had been a mischievous troublemaker since childhood, infamous throughout the clan as a little devil. No one knew how calculating he was beneath the surface, or how brave and skilled he was in battle. After the Battle of Ziyang Pass, he was the only survivor of the five generals in his family. He escaped a sea of corpses and flames, carrying a blood feud on his shoulders, yet became trapped in a web of schemes with no power to fight back. His paternal aunts and uncles in the western branch tried to seize the title, while the emperor sought to reclaim power at court. At his most desperate hour, his newly widowed sister-in-law stepped forward and single-handedly held the family together. She freed him of his worries and gave rise to a forbidden longing in his heart.
