A Preface to the Capital

【A sweet, pampered noblewoman fallen on hard times】 & 【A wicked, wealthy man who seems born to enjoy life】 (Falling in love with the very face that caught your eye) After her family falls from grace, Lu Baohua is married off to her sworn enemy by imperial decree. For five years, she endures everything just to protect her father and her family, who have been sent into exile. In return, her scumbag husband repeatedly humiliates and betrays her. Her father dies miserably in prison, and her exiled family suffers terribly, with no hope of ever returning. Her mother loses all hope and cuts ties with her. Xiao Wenyu: 【Lu Baohua is so gullible. She believes everything I say.】 Li Qingning: 【Cousin, her father is dead. When are you going to divorce her?】 How dare they treat her this way? Fine, then she’ll attach herself to the most powerful man in the capital: the Empress’s younger brother, the Crown Prince’s uncle, and commander of the Divine Strategy Army, Xie Jingxu. At a banquet hosted by the Xiao family, Lu Baohua performs a masked dance and tumbles into Xie Jingxu’s arms. Xie Jingxu: 【She’s breathing. She’s seducing me.】 Five years ago, the Fifth Prince was framed, and the Duke of Cheng’s household took the fall. Xie Jingxu took the Fifth Prince’s punishment and spent five years training at the border. Five years later, he has become the ruthless commander of the Divine Strategy Army, a man whose name makes children cry. And the young woman he has secretly loved for ten years has fallen into his arms, her watery eyes full of affection. 【May I have you, Jingxu?】 Xie Jingxu: 【Why not?】 After ten years of unrequited love, what’s wrong with stealing a flower for once? This time, it’s the scumbag husband who frets and agonizes, afraid she’ll divorce him and marry someone else. Xie Jingxu: 【My lady, whatever you want, I’ll give you.】 The Duke of Cheng returns from the dead, and the false charges against him are cleared. Lu Baohua makes the Xiao family pay back, one by one, for all the suffering they inflicted on her.
