The sixth young lady of the Xia family was notorious for being spoiled and headstrong. She never expected to become entangled with the only son of the marquis’s eldest branch.
During the Ghost Festival, a scheme, a fall into the water, and an imperial decree changed everything.
With no other choice, she married into the marquis’s household. She had thought they could simply be courteous to each other, but the young marquis proved far more considerate than she had imagined.
They grew to love each other, and her husband went off to war as a commander. But the marquis’s household was full of wolves. Someone was willing to betray his own brotherly bonds for the title, and planned to kill her husband and seize the marquisate.
