[Face-Slapping the Scumbags + Strong Heroine and Hero + Long-Laid Plans + Cute Child and Sweet Romance]

Yu Qingcen went to the border to avenge her father and brother, entrusting her two-year-old nephew to her newlywed husband, Gu Yingze.

Three years later, she returned to the capital in triumph. She had planned to use her military achievements to help Gu Yingze rise in status, only to find him welcoming a new bride!

That was not all. The Gu family had also been mistreating Yu Suo, hoping to ruin him so they could seize the Marquis household’s assets.

Enough was enough. Yu Qingcen flipped the table, slapped her sister-in-law, put her mother-in-law in her place, punched her scumbag husband, and decisively divorced him before entering government service. Her arrival caused a sensation in the capital. While everyone waited to see her make a fool of herself, one man arrived calmly in crimson robes. He cared nothing for the judgment and gossip of others, standing firmly by her side. He helped her raise her young nephew, offered her advice, and cleared every obstacle from her path, supporting her all the way to the highest ranks until her name was known throughout the land.

Zhou Yixing: “Just keep moving forward. I’ll be right behind you.”

Yu Qingcen: “With all your talent, wouldn’t you feel you were wasting it staying home to support your wife and raise children?”

Zhou Yixing: “With a wife like you, I could not be prouder.”

For a thousand years, the rules of propriety had bound women. Everyone said that women who went to war or entered government were going against tradition and would never be accepted by society.

But Zhou Yixing told her that this realm did not belong to men alone. It belonged to women, too.

If she wished, everyone in the world would know her name.

Yu Qingcen was deeply moved, her heart surging with emotion. Zhou Yixing quietly lowered the bed curtains.

“Madam, it’s late. We should turn in.”

Turn in, then. Why are you taking off my clothes?

Zhou Yixing: “Husband and wife should be completely honest with each other.”

Yu Qingcen: “Is that what ‘being honest with each other’ means?”
