In her previous life, Zhang Qingli was the legitimate daughter of the richest family in the capital. Her own father and stepmother drained her of everything she was worth, then sent her to a prince to be used as a pawn in the struggle for the throne. In the end, she died a miserable death.
Back on the day of her wedding, hearing the wedding horns outside her sedan, Zhang Qingli gives a cold laugh, kicks the door open, and heads straight for the General of the Northern Frontier's residence, feared throughout the capital for his army and power!
Qin Xun, the "Living Yama of the North" who commands an army of 170,000, is arrogant and bloodthirsty, a man no one dares provoke.
Everyone in the capital is waiting to see this foolhardy merchant's daughter thrown out of his residence, her blood splattered on the ground.
Instead...
At a palace banquet, a haughty princess insults her in public. Zhang Qingli grabs the princess by the hair, slaps her twenty times, and dumps her right outside the Consort's palace.
Her father uses filial piety to force her to hand over her property? She throws out the Zhang family's ledgers proving they colluded with the enemy, forces her father to sign a severance agreement on the spot, and takes down her entire birth family!
The capital's nobles are so terrified they kneel and beg for mercy. But the fierce, ruthless General of the Northern Frontier is lounging in his armchair, wiping blood from his battle saber as he sneers, "Quiet, all of you. My wife is timid. If you scare her, I'll slaughter your entire families."
Everyone is losing it: ??? She publicly beheaded someone and slapped a princess, and you call that timid?!
