[I've revised this blurb many times and still can't get it quite right, but I promise the male lead is completely devoted to her. The female lead won't compromise: if someone needs killing, she'll kill them; if someone needs cutting down, she'll do it.]

Blurb 1: The Main Couple

Xiao Lingyi was an obscure concubine-born daughter of a marquis's household. In the four years since she married into the Earl of Anqing's family, she had never once seen her husband, all because he had a childhood sweetheart, the moonlight of his heart.

She spent four years quietly serving her parents-in-law, never imagining that her natal family would be convicted of a crime and that she would be cast out with nothing.

With no parents and no relatives to turn to, and soon to be registered under her natal family's household, she faced the prospect of becoming either a government courtesan or a slave.

So she cast aside the dignity and restraint expected of a nobleman's daughter and pursued Yan Yu, a down-on-his-luck scholar, asking him to marry her.

Their life together grew better and better, until Yan Yu passed the palace examination as the third-ranked candidate.

He gave her a letter of divorce, then disappeared without a trace.

She chased him to the Tongzhou docks. Yan Yu was about to board a ship for his new post. He closed his eyes briefly.
