[Court intrigue and household battles + legitimate daughter and general series + one-on-one, both leads are devoted to each other + sweet romance + face-slapping and putting scumbags in their place]
Ye Anlan, the legitimate daughter of the Xima family, was never welcomed by her birth family during the first half of her life, and suffered her mother’s scolding and humiliation. By chance, she saved the heir of the Duke’s estate, and fell for him after he wooed her with sweet words. But her younger sister got to him first, and even “caught” them together!
Yet fate has a way of working in mysterious ways.
Rumor has it that Zhenbeiguan is home to a fearsome general, twenty-eight years old, with no wife, concubines, or bedchamber attendants. He even single-handedly destroyed the State of Qijiang.
Looking at the marriage alliance document before her, Ye Anlan thinks this fearsome general is quite particular about etiquette. He has observed every traditional betrothal custom and declared that he will marry no one but her.
At their first meeting, he kissed her on horseback. At their second, he beat up her mother... Only later does she learn that this fearsome man has been waiting for her for fifteen years...
