[Mutually devoted 1v1 romance + beloved by the whole marquis household + love after marriage]
[Brilliant, delicate beauty × cold-faced, devoted general]
When Lin Qingwu was fourteen, her father died of illness, and her maternal grandmother brought her to the capital.
Her eldest male cousin was worried about having an heir, her eldest female cousin was fighting over a concubine, her uncle’s career was going nowhere, and her youngest male cousin was frail and pitiful.
After Lin Qingwu arrived, the marquis’s household turned its fortunes around, and she became everyone’s darling.
It wasn’t until her second female cousin’s fiancé ran away with a maid that Lin Qingwu began to consider her own marriage.
The gentle scholar she had helped went on to pass the imperial exams, then abandoned her.
Her eldest male cousin’s playboy friend was no suitable match.
Her innocent, devoted youngest male cousin was like a younger brother to her, nothing more.
During a winter hunt, Lin Qingwu was rescued by Shen Lan, a young general feared by every noble girl in the capital.
To make her youngest male cousin give up on her, Lin Qingwu said she had feelings for Shen Lan.
Thinking of Lin Qingwu as her daughter’s only surviving descendant, her maternal grandmother went to the palace and returned with an imperial marriage decree!
Lin Qingwu: “???”

His father died in battle, and his mother died protecting the empress dowager. At thirteen, Shen Lan joined the army, defeated the Rouran, and was named a third-rank general.
At sixteen, he was attacked while secretly visiting Jinling, but Lin Qingwu’s father saved him.
To repay the debt, Shen Lan secretly escorted Lin Qingwu to the capital.
When the princes fought for the throne, Shen Lan stepped in to help the Zhou family through their troubles.
After Lin Qingwu came of age, she proved poor at judging people.
Shen Lan had no choice but to step in, expose the hypocritical scholar for who he was, and help the playboy bring his mistress into his home.
The young master of the marquis’s household came first in the imperial exams, but the Zhou family still didn’t want to marry Lin Qingwu into their household.
After Shen Lan was ambushed, Lin Qingwu saved him. He spent months tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
When he heard that Lin Qingwu had feelings for him, Shen Lan tried several times to run into her and clear things up, much to the empress dowager’s excitement.
