From Cannon Fodder Substitute to General’s Wife

At twelve, Xie Huan sold herself to a brothel to bury her mother, but the Xie family, whose head was the prefect, paid no attention.

By chance, she saved General Song Mingzhao, who had put down a rebellion, in a mass grave. He held a knife to her throat and demanded she hand over the letter she had taken by mistake.

She cleverly escaped and joined the rebels, helping them win. Song Mingzhao then beat her half to death, branding her a spy.

In her hour of need, she was taken back to the Xie household, only for her father to scheme against her and make her marry her elder sister’s fiancé, a general said to be impotent.

She plotted her escape at every turn, but in the end, she still couldn’t get away from him.

“Keep those secrets safe and stay by my side, and I’ll spare your life.”

The Xie family used her to gather information, while Song Mingzhao grew murderous when she dared not ask him for help.

Only belatedly did she watch the Song family carriage disappear into the distance. Standing in the cold wind with a blade at her throat, she knew she had been abandoned…!
