She was a top modern-day animal trainer who unexpectedly transmigrated into the least favored concubine-born daughter of a general’s household. She was forced to take her elder legitimate sister’s place and marry Xiao Jingyan, the cold-faced God of War who was decisive in battle and had supposedly brought about the deaths of three fiancées.
On their wedding night, he threw a divorce letter at her and told her to get out. She only smiled, pulled a Western Regions black-scaled snake from her sleeve, and left his arm numb and his body unable to move.
Overnight, she went from an unwanted substitute bride to the “little fox” the marquis couldn’t live without. She investigated old cases, dug up old scores, trained venomous snakes, and took on his clan elders. Even the capital’s most fearsome Northern Frontier Marquis was wrapped around her little finger.
But as the truth behind the old case gradually came to light, and the old wet nurse who had served Xiao Jingyan’s mother was found dead in a dry well, with the source of the Western Regions poison leading straight to the imperial court, Shen Qingwu suddenly realized that this mess was far deeper than she’d imagined. And the cold, taciturn general had somehow begun shielding her, refusing to let anyone lay a hand on her.

“…Be quiet.”
