After Being Exiled, a Down-and-Out War God Was Taken in by a Farm Girl

Her miracle-doctor grandfather suddenly dies, her fiancé coldly breaks off their engagement, and her scumbag father lets her stepmother hire assassins to kill her. Overnight, Su Tang, the Hou Manor’s once-untouchable legitimate daughter, tumbles into the mire. She becomes a stray dog hunted through the whole city. Cornered with nowhere left to run, she is saved when Huo Zheng, the God of War, cuts down an assassin with a single stroke and tosses her a silver ingot. Three years later, amid snowstorms on the frontier, the once world-renowned God of War has both legs broken and his face disfigured. Near death, he is sold off like a dead dog. Disguised as a peasant girl, Su Tang takes out two taels of silver to buy his indenture and pushes him back to her cold, ruined hut in a broken handcart. “Get lost! I don’t need charity from a woman!” Huo Zheng snarls, his eyes full of menace. Su Tang’s face remains expressionless as she cuts away his rotting flesh. “I bought your life for two taels. If I won’t let you die, even the King of Hell can’t take you.” To support her household, Su Tang returns to medicine, gathering herbs and cooking medicinal meals. Starting with a little stall on the frontier, she builds the greatest trading house in the land. Huo Zheng reforges his body of steel, leads his troops back to the capital, and tramples her scumbag father, stepmother, and regretful ex-fiancé underfoot! The man, fierce as a god of slaughter, turns and pulls Su Tang into his arms, his eyes blazing with possessive madness. “You bought my life. I’ll offer you an empire as your bride price. For the rest of your life, you can only be mine!”
