After the Substitute Marriage, the Mad God of War Dotes on Me Night After Night

Xia Zhu is a lowly maid, Xiao Jingyuan’s secret bedmate at night and a “vulgar lowborn” he can barely stand to look at. His heart and eyes belong to the gentle, jade-like Xu Qingwan. To protect her, when Xu Qingwan refuses to marry a crippled general, he cruelly offers Xia Zhu in her place. “Being able to leap into this pit of fire for Wan’er is a blessing you earned in your previous life, you lowly slave.”

He thinks Xia Zhu has no choice but to die once she leaves him. He has no idea that beneath the red bridal veil is the legitimate daughter of a legendary medical family, who vanished years ago. When she enters the Pei household, she uses acupuncture to revive Pei Xingzhou, the bloodthirsty war god who has been bedridden and paralyzed. As General Pei rises to power and showers Xia Zhu with love, Xiao Jingyuan discovers that his so-called beloved is a venomous snake who stole someone else’s place, while the Xia Zhu he cast aside is the very savior he has sought for years.

When the truth comes to light, he gives up his title as prince and kneels in the falling snow, begging only for Xia Zhu to spare him a glance. But Xia Zhu is nestled in General Pei’s arms. She coldly burns the red cord that once bound them together. “Your Highness, please show some restraint. I wouldn’t want to sully the road to the general’s residence.”
