Qin Yizhi, the only daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, was granted the title of Princess Anning by the late emperor and commanded the armies of the three northern provinces.
She went blind only once in her life:
When she married that penniless scholar, Pei Qin.
Three years after their divorce, she had wealth, power, sons, and daughters. Most importantly,
without a husband or in-laws, she was living like a goddess.
Until one day, Pei Qin showed up at her door with the woman he had always cherished.
“Let Nianqing marry my stepson. It will bring our families even closer.”
Holding her teacup, Qin Yizhi smiled serenely. “Lord Pei, your stepson is eighteen and my daughter is sixteen. Are you sure you don't just want my daughter to support you in your old age?”
She thought he had come to take advantage of her wealth.
She had no idea that he had come prepared to risk his life to protect her.
Pei Qin was a top spy in the enemy nation's Shadow Pavilion. Approaching her all those years ago had been a mission.
But he had fallen in love.
The “favoring his concubine and neglecting his wife” scandal three years ago had been a charade of his own making.
His identity was about to be exposed, and fearing she would be dragged into it, he had forced her to divorce him.
Three years later, the enemy nation's new emperor wanted her dead.
He used the pretense of proposing a match to stay by her side and protect her.
She hated him to the bone; he loved her with all his heart.
The Grand Secretary, Xiao Zhi, watched from the sidelines with cold eyes, yet when Qin Yizhi turned away, he took her hand.
“Princess, I have the divorce papers. Now you are, ”
“Free.”
Her madly devoted ex-husband, and the cool, aloof man who appeared out of nowhere.
Qin Yizhi sat poised above them, smiling as the two men fought over her.
She had never wanted a man.
She wanted the whole realm to bear the surname Qin.
Don't look at it, the plot is inexplicable, the heroine is not well designed, and the male protagonist (Pei) is not well designed, it is really baffling
