In his previous life, Gu Yunxiao was the Marquis of Changxin. To repay a debt of gratitude, he married Su Yanling, the legitimate daughter of a general's household.
On the day she was due to give birth, the Su family army faced an urgent crisis at the border. Su Yanling led men to their aid and was gone for three years. The only news that came back was that she had died on the battlefield.
He cared for the elderly and raised their only son alone. Only on his deathbed did he learn the truth: his wife had faked her death to escape, had long been carrying on with another man, and had even started a family and had a child with him. The son Gu Yunxiao had raised all his life was actually his wife's child by another man.
Gu Yunxiao died of rage, unable to accept what had happened.
Reborn three years into his marriage, just as news arrived of Su Yanling's death, he chose to fight back this time, turning around to marry a noblewoman from an influential family instead.
