Ye Zhen devoted herself to serving her mother-in-law and used the profits from her dowry shops to support the whole family.
Yet what did she get in return? Her husband, Xu Yuanjing, brought another woman home as his wife!
Demote the wife to concubine?
And expect her to pay for the whole family, manage the household, and bear children?
Whoever wants to be that big a fool can do it themselves!
Cut off their money, and punish the scoundrel.
Ye Zhen slapped a divorce agreement in Xu Yuanjing's face and petitioned to join the army, only to be mocked and ridiculed by the world.
Only the eldest young master of the Lou family stood beside her, waving his fan. “General Ye, don't leave me behind.”
She routed the enemy and reclaimed lost territory.
The Protector Princess Ye Zhen became famous throughout the land.
The Xu family, left penniless, wept bitterly and came crawling back to curry favor.
Ye Zhen took Young Master Lou's hand and smiled as she declined. “I'm sorry, but I already have someone I love.”
The plot is a bit like "Peach Blossom Horseman Asks for a Long Spear," but it's still quite good. Keep up the good work, author! 💪
