Xi Ling was engaged to Wang Xingzhou since he was a child. The emperor died of illness before the wedding. Xi Ling's grandfather was impeached by the family, and the entire Xi family was imprisoned. Wang Xingzhou was just a side branch of the Wang family, so in order to protect himself, he quickly broke off the engagement with Xi Ling. The Xi family was sentenced to exile. On the day they left, Xie Songhan's grandfather took out a marriage certificate and stopped the officers and soldiers: "This girl is my Xie family's wife."
This paper marriage certificate saved Xi Ling, but stopped Xie Songhan from defecting to the army.
*
Xi Ling knew that Xie Songhan was dissatisfied with the marriage. After they got married, he would only call her sister. Even the consummation of the marriage was only possible through coercion and inducement by his grandfather.
Xi Ling became more and more cautious, and only hoped for two things. One was to give birth to a son and establish a family in the Xie family, and the other was to earn some money to support the Xi family. As for the rest, I don't dare to ask for anything more.

Xie Songhan knew that the marriage was his grandfather's wish, but he still couldn't control his resentment towards Xi Ling.
Until later, Wang Xingzhou spent a lot of money to buy dozens of unknown paintings in Chengdong Painting Workshop. A good friend cherished paintings, so he kept one privately and invited him to taste it. Xie Songhan recognized Xi Ling's handwriting at a glance.
He was very drunk that day, and all he could think about was his best friend's words: "She doesn't love you."
In the second year after the two got married, Xie Songhan's grandfather died of illness, and Xie Songhan resolutely joined the army. Xi Ling didn't say anything, but when he was packing his luggage, he found a box in the secret room of the study. Xi Ling opened it by mistake. Inside was the paintings she had sold over the years. Xi Ling counted them and found that they were all right.
When Xi Ling was shocked, his voice came from outside the door: "Sister, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Xi Ling looked at him for a long time, and finally his eyes turned red: "I will tell you when you come back."
Xie Songhan smiled, "Okay."
*
Later, Xie Songhan came back with stab wounds all over his body. When he saw her, he just grinned: "Sister, I'm back."
That year Dayi regained Jiangbei, which had been lost for 24 years, and her grandfather was also vindicated.
**
Xie Songhan thought that his marriage to Xi Ling had ruined his life ambitions, but he didn't know that Xi Ling was the bright moon that alone illuminated his journey.
Xie Songhan: It doesn't matter if you don't love me, I have plenty of strength and means^o^
