[A clearheaded concubine on the run VS an out-of-control, icy Commander]
After transmigrating into a novel as a cannon-fodder concubine, Cang Yue focused on one thing: getting a divorce so she could survive.
Her cheap husband's beloved first love happened to return, so the divorce was put on the agenda right away.
After they parted ways without a hitch, Cang Yue moved her whole family away from the capital, ready to welcome a better life. Who could have guessed that the situation would change in an instant, with wars breaking out one after another, until even staying alive became a problem?
When she saw her ex-husband again, he was dressed in mourning and looked even more handsome. By a twist of fate, the two had become distant cousins.
On the day they reunited, the whole family gathered. He deliberately asked, "Your face looks familiar, Cousin. Before you returned to your second maternal uncle's home to fulfill your filial duties, did you ever travel to Shengjing with your late eldest maternal uncle?"
He knew full well that her family intended to arrange a match with him once his three-year mourning period was over, and that she could marry whichever man she preferred. Even so, he kept showing up in front of her every few days.

Jiang Lian, former Commander of the Imperial Guards, came from a family of famous generals and was the sole heir for three generations. Before he turned twenty, he had already saved the emperor several times, earning merit each time. When war broke out, he was ruthless and decisive.
After being pushed out of the center of power and spending two years with the empty title of militia commander, the ruler himself asked him to return in the hour of need and lead the army into battle.
Later, when the enemy state paid tribute, Jiang Lian was awarded great merit. The court wanted to promote and ennoble him, but he submitted a resignation and hurried back to Yongning Prefecture to protect the region's largest trading house.
Someone asked Jiang Lian, "Commander, the trading house isn't yours. What are you after?"
Jiang Lian thought for a moment. "So she can't run away."
"Don't be so sure," a charming voice objected.
Jiang Lian glanced at her, then suddenly smiled.
"If you run, I'll just chase you. Go on, try it."
