[Household intrigue + the second male lead wins + face-slapping and humiliating scoundrels + sweet romance + daily life + lighthearted comedy]
Qin Fengjiao, a master of military strategy whom the capital's powerful and wealthy looked down on, married Jiang Wei.
On their wedding day, Jiang Wei received news from the frontier and had no choice but to leave Qin Fengjiao behind and go to war.
Qin Fengjiao took off her armor and waited for Jiang Wei to return victorious.
She waited five years, only for Jiang Wei to bring another woman home.
Heartbroken, she divorced him.
Putting her armor back on, she won battle after battle and made a name for herself across the region.
Without the support of the Qin family, Jiang Wei was sent to suppress bandits and nearly got himself killed.
Sent to defend the frontier against invaders, he was captured and held hostage.
Before long, he discovered that the woman he had brought back from the battlefield had been using him as a stepping stone in her revenge.
…
To find a husband for the divorced Qin Fengjiao, Qin De held a martial arts tournament to choose her match. Qin Fengjiao knocked every man who stepped forward flat.
The last man grabbed her leg and snatched the jade pendant from her waist. “I win.”
Qin Fengjiao thought the man looked familiar. He was the very man she had rescued from bandits.
After marrying Qin Fengjiao, trouble never stopped coming her way.
And those troubles were caused by the woman Jiang Wei had brought home.
Only much later did Qin Fengjiao learn that the woman causing her trouble was her younger half-sister, who had been abducted as a child.
