Republican Era: The Wildest Legitimate Daughter Kicks Her Scumbag to the Curb and Marries the Young Marshal

In the winter of 1923, Gu Qingcheng, an orphan from the countryside, is ordered to return to the city and break off her engagement. On the train, she unexpectedly hides a wounded, mysterious man and steals a pistol in the bargain. Back in the Gu family’s den of wolves, she faces one challenge after another from her hypocritical stepmother and spiteful sisters. She pretends to be meek while carefully plotting her every move. With leverage in hand, she keeps the warlord’s wife in check and clings to the name of her betrothal. That night, the man takes half of her jade pendant and vows to find her. But in this game of love and intrigue, the cool, distant young woman seeks only to turn the tables, not to fall in love.
