Female General & Top Scholar [marriage first, love later + no infidelity + a powerful couple]
A year into their marriage, Qi Yu and Pei Qingchen have never met.
They meet for the first time by a river, and he recognizes her at a glance.
She is gravely wounded and unconscious; he happens to be passing by on his way home.
After weighing the pros and cons, Pei Qingchen reluctantly saves Qi Yu. To his surprise, when she wakes, she is wary of him.
Qi Yu: “A rising star like Lord Pei has arrived in the capital. How come I never heard about it?”
Pei Qingchen remains calm. “You’ve spent so long at the frontier, Commandery Princess. It’s only natural you haven’t heard.”
Later, when their identities come to light, she learns that he is the husband named in her marriage contract.
Qi Yu doesn’t confront him. Instead...
“Lord Pei, let’s divorce.”
