[Two Male Leads + Equally Matched + Substitute Marriage + Borderland Intrigue + Devoted to Each Other + Happy Ending]
Shen Hechuan, the son of a disgraced minister, is ordered by imperial decree to take his elder brother’s place and marry Yan Ci, the northern frontier’s great general, as his husband.
Everyone at court knows this isn’t a marriage bestowed as a reward. It’s a hostage arrangement, a blade the new emperor has planted against Yan Ci’s heart.
Everyone is waiting to see him make a fool of himself, to see how this pretty boy from the capital will die in the sand at Yanmen Pass.
Shen Hechuan knows it too. Carrying a blood feud he has kept buried for fifteen years and the injustice done to his entire family, he treads carefully in this frontier army camp.
He thinks he’ll have to contend with the Northern Di’s blades, the court’s swords, and this cruel, bloodthirsty world.
Until he realizes
The cold-faced general who has guarded the frontier for ten years looks at him in a very strange way.
“Set up his tent beside the central command tent.”
“Don’t let him get cold.”
Shen Hechuan: ???
