A rootless woman adrift in chaotic times, she climbs into the bed of Yunzhou's fiercest warlord to survive.
To save her father's life and protect her family's estate, Zhao Mingzhu stakes everything on He Yan, a man as cold and hard as iron.
Everyone mocks her as a mere plaything who uses her beauty to serve men, bringing shame on her family.
He gives her unimaginable wealth and protection, yet begrudges her even the promise of a title.
He is her backing, her abyss, and the man who warms her bed night after night.
He Yan wants her docile and dependent, and seeks to control her body and mind.
But at the warlord's side, Mingzhu calmly works the numbers: Want to control me? Pay with grain, silver, and your life!
He thinks he has her in the palm of his hand, never realizing her schemes ring louder than the clash of his blades.
She tests the limits of his patience, only to step into the abyss of his blood feud.
This hardest of men: she means to make him grind his teeth to dust in love and hate, and trade a city for one true heart!
He sets a trap of passion to capture her, but she turns the tables with a plan at every step.
When the iron hooves of the Xuandi shatter Yunzhou, she asks the warlord with icy calm, “He Yan, how many cities can you pay for my worth? And can you afford to give me your heart?”
This golden flower tempered in fire will prick anyone who tries to pluck it. So, in the end, who is saving whom?
Miss Zhao's struggle to become self-reliant. The male protagonist supports the female protagonist to grow and become stronger; the equality of the relationship between men and women, and the later appreciation of the female protagonist are all based on their own excellence and equal value. A long-term relationship does not have to be a couple, and it is suitable for mature readers. Recommend~
The ending is too hasty. The author's (Divorce Never Leaves the Bed) is also very interesting. It's not enough. It would be nice if there was a sequel.
