[Comments on individual chapters are open. Come join the fun~] Delicate noblewoman × Warlord of a chaotic age * As the prefect's only daughter, Ming Yi had been cherished like a precious jewel from birth. She was spoiled, domineering, and looked down on everyone. Then the rebels marched north and Cangzhou fell into chaos. Her fiancé abandoned her and fled with his widowed sister-in-law. A humiliation beyond compare!! To save herself, she gritted her teeth and relied on a disfigured coachman. They spent months entangled together as he fought his way through one obstacle after another with her in tow. At long last, they reached her uncle's home, and Ming Yi resolved to cut off the problem at its root. But the coachman had long since seen through her. He fought off ten men at once and, as he fled, didn't forget to sink his teeth into her! Ming Yi was shocked and furious. From that day on, she could never sleep peacefully. In her dreams were a ruined temple, wild grass, and a jolting horse. The man behind her breathed hotly against her, and she shoved him away in disgust. “Get away!” The man chuckled, revealing a pair of hawklike eyes. “Miss... is that all it takes to overwhelm you?” When she woke with a start, pain throbbed in her shoulder, and cold sweat soaked the bedding. Ming Yi thought bitterly: That mad dog is only a coachman. What could he possibly amount to? - It wasn't long before the dynasty's days were numbered and the realm was divided among rival powers. Aristocratic clans sought survival through marriage alliances. Who could have guessed that on her wedding night, Wei Yue would lay siege to the city? They said he was cruel and brutal, with countless deaths to his name. In just three years, he had become a powerful regional warlord. The wedding feast instantly became a funeral banquet. She, the bride, was the most conspicuous prize of war, and was taken under guard to the main camp. The moment she looked up, she saw a stern face more familiar to her than any other. The man's face was mocking, but his gaze fixed on her like a vicious dog eyeing its prey. “Long time no see, Ying-niang.” Ming Yi felt as if she had fallen into an icy abyss. [Bonus scene] After the Battle of Shangqiu, everyone thought Wei Yue was dead and celebrated far and wide. Six months later, the scoundrel miraculously returned, sweeping through his enemies and fighting all the way to Ming Yi's wedding banquet. Everyone: You brat! Where have you been hiding and gathering strength all these months? Wei Yue, wiping his sword and thinking carefully: Hmm... feeding horses, chopping wood, heating water for the young lady's footbath. ① This is not a strong-female-lead story. The heroine is delicate and selfish, but also resilient and brave. She's the type to rise to a challenge. ② The hero plans several steps ahead. Includes angsty, coercive love. His disfigurement at the beginning is a disguise; the scars are gone later. ③ Fictional setting, extremely fictional!!! A hodgepodge of influences. ④ Both leads are virgins. One-on-one. Theme: Finding love, learning to love, and giving love
