Cool, scheming innocent-looking beauty vs rebellious, carefree young general
When Gui Mingwei was five, her mother was murdered, and her newborn younger brother was killed along with her.
To uncover the truth, Gui Mingwei married into the Duke's household. But on their wedding day, her husband abandoned her and went off alone to chase after his childhood sweetheart.
With no other choice, her husband's young nephew took his place at the wedding.
On their wedding night, a pair of black cloud-patterned boots approached slowly.
When the veil was lifted, a handsome, roguish face with a wild smile appeared before her.
"How dare you! By all rights, you should call me Auntie. How can you be so rude?"
"Auntie?" Shen Yanshan scoffed and slowly pressed closer. "Just what is he better at than me?"

When Shen Yanshan was six, he became a complete orphan. Gui Mingwei's calm and composure helped him emerge from the darkness.
He lived alone in the vast Duke's estate, surviving under the protection of his great-grandmother.
Then, at twelve, he saw that young lady again.
She was serene and lovely, yet beneath the surface lay a sorrow that was hard to detect.
When he learned that his grandmother intended to marry her to his uncle, he grew anxious and furious, desperate to grow up. He volunteered to follow his third uncle to the border and drive back the Japanese pirates.
Four years later, Shen Yanshan returned to the capital covered in military honors, now a rising star at court.
But when he saw that young lady again, she had become his uncle's fiancee.
He refused to give up.
When he heard that his uncle's childhood sweetheart had arrived in Pingchuan, he was so happy he couldn't sleep all night.
"Sister, you are mine in the end."
