A battle-hardened prince with rage issues vs. a sweet, struggling mute!
[The System is an accident, but their love is real]
Prince Jing, Xiao Jinyuan, is the sharpest, loneliest, and most terrifying blade of the Great Jing Dynasty. But fame breeds envy, and great achievements threaten the throne.
Three years ago, the enemy knew they could never defeat Xiao Jinyuan head-on, so they secretly prepared an unparalleled poison called “Bone-Eroding Miasma.” Amid the smoke and chaos of battle, they let the poisonous fog seep into his body undetected.
He slaughtered a hundred thousand enemy soldiers and defended the nation's borders, but barely survived, as the poison gnawed at his heart, meridians, and soul. The God of War survived, but half his body was left useless.
The Empress granted him a marriage, and no one dared object or show pity.
No one expected fate to take such a strange turn. On the bustling wedding street, lined with ten miles of red finery, an unexpected commotion changed the course of both their lives.
There was more than one wedding in the capital that day.
Another bridal procession wound through the streets, its red silk dazzling and its gongs and drums resounding. Yet everyone sighed over it, everyone pitied the bride. It was the wedding procession of the Shen family, whose head was a Vice Minister of Revenue.
The bride was supposed to be the Shen family's second daughter, Shen Qingrou.
But the woman sitting in the bridal sedan, dressed in scarlet wedding robes and wearing a heavy phoenix crown, was the Shen family's true eldest daughter, Shen Qingyuan.
The story took a rather unexpected turn…
