Synopsis

A domineering, arrogant, cunning, tough-as-nails warlord + fiercely protective and petty + both wolfish and sweet

Feel-good story + high-stakes household intrigue + a heroine skilled in both letters and combat + sweet, cool, and wild

Chen Suoxin has always been the sort of person who would even sell herself to get what she wants. She sees the world clearly.

The moment she learned that her grandmother had sent her to the Marshal’s mansion to fulfill an arranged childhood engagement, she knew exactly what she was doing.

“I’m here to get married, not fall in love. If I want to stay alive, I need status first, then power.

Flirt with him, act fragile, and play the fool to catch the tiger.

You want to fight for the man through household intrigue and only play dirty? I’ll do it openly!

I’ll uproot the woman he loves from his heart, bit by bit.”

So when it came to getting married and sharing his bed, she was always the most enthusiastic. With her beauty and intelligence, she played the fool while plotting every move, and won the young marshal’s heart.

Through her own abilities, she helped her husband rise to become military governor of the thirteen provinces of Beiliao.

“I bore him a son and a daughter, and now he wants to marry someone else?”

Fine, let’s get a divorce! Who’s afraid of whom? Just don’t regret it.

The military governor blocks her lips, sweet and soft yet domineering. “Once we’ve started… don’t even think about running…”
