After the Newly Widowed Woman Was Brought Into the Prince's Mansion

Tang Nanqing, a private yoga instructor, transmigrates into a chaotic era. She has neither a brilliant mind nor the power to move heaven and earth, just a pretty face, which is no blessing in times like these. With war looming, she has no choice but to hastily choose a strong, sturdy military household man from among the neighbors and marry him. Her new husband serves the Marquis of Tingyue, the bravest and most skilled commander in the southern lands. Later, the fighting gradually dies down. The Marquis of Tingyue becomes the King of Yue in the south, while her husband dies in the final battle to pacify the region. * Thanks to her husband’s service, she is brought into the prince’s household as a female official after his burial, sparing her the hardship of having no one to rely on. Tang Nanqing is timid and gentle by nature. She really doesn’t want to spend her whole life serving as a slave to the terrifying King of Yue. But she knows that, on her own, it will be hard to live safely in a world only just emerging from chaos. While the king is busy rewarding his subordinates for their service, she secretly keeps an eye out for a lowborn, honest young officer she could marry. A simple, peaceful life is a kind of happiness too, and she wouldn’t have to deal with the nerve-racking intrigues of the great families’ inner households. No one could have predicted that after a cup of muddy wine at a victory banquet, she would wake up lying in the royal tent, trapped in the crushing embrace of an especially terrifying arm. Tang Nanqing feels as if the sky is about to fall. She doesn’t want to stay. Reader Advisory: 1. A clear-headed, gentle sweetheart × a ruthless warlord with a big bad-wolf streak.
