In his previous life, Su Jingyi devoted his life to serving the Dongli Kingdom, waging war across the land and becoming its God of War. For the sake of the woman he loved, he willingly gave up the throne within his grasp, wanting nothing more than to spend his life with her alone. He never imagined she would scheme against him and leave him to die with regrets. Reborn, Su Jingyi decides to live differently. Using what he has learned about his mother’s identity, he fakes his death and leaves Dongli.
Taking the identity of the Su Duke’s Manor’s young cousin, he goes to the Qifeng Kingdom and travels the world as a merchant. By chance, he encounters the kingdom’s Third Princess, Xiao Yunlan, feared for her cruelty and brutality. When he sees her torturing a servant to death, he immediately recognizes that she is ill. Feeling sympathy for the princess, he steps forward and takes her away, only to discover an unexpected side of her.
As they spend time together, Su Jingyi gradually falls for this violent princess. He even comes to like it when she lays hands on him. For love, and to secure the stability of the Qifeng Kingdom, he decides to help her ascend the throne. Through their joint efforts, they win the kingdom.
When the time comes to claim the throne, Su Jingyi lets the Third Princess take it, choosing instead to become her royal consort and enjoy the perfectly legitimate life of a kept man. Just as they settle into a happy life, people from the Dongli Kingdom come looking for him again, forcing Su Jingyi back into the public eye. That is when the people of Qifeng learn that the imperial consort they looked down on is the God of War. At the same time, Su Jingyi discovers that the Third Princess is pregnant and can no longer manage the kingdom alone. So that she can rest and care for the baby, he steps forward as regent to govern Qifeng, making a name for himself across the world. He also uncovers his true identity and unites the realm...
