Shen Lingyue, the legitimate daughter of a former high-ranking family, fell from the clouds into the mire when her family was ruined.
All the men in the family were beheaded, and all the women were sent to death row. She knew that she was the daughter of a guilty minister and was just waiting for death.
Until that young general with bright clothes and angry horses, full of wind and snow and military power, stepped through the court and pulled her back from hell.
"I am willing to give half my life's military service in exchange for the innocence of Shen's daughter."
Everyone knows that General Pei's move is to humiliate the daughter of his enemy, and it is a transaction that weighs the pros and cons.
Even Shen Lingyue thinks so.
She knew that her current humble status was not worthy of his lonely courage.
She suppressed all her emotions and carefully set rules with him:
"General, this is a deal and a marriage with a limited time limit. If you find the woman you like in the future, we will divorce."
She thought he agreed just out of youthful affection and responsibility.
Little did they know that this man who was so decisive in killing in the court held her tightly in his arms for countless late nights, murmuring over and over again with red eyes:
"Yueyue, don't let me go."
In order to prove that she is not a useless dodder flower, she regained her talent, started business and opened a shop, and secretly investigated the truth of the massacre that year.
He never interfered, he only cleared all obstacles for her in the dark and took care of her.
It wasn't until the truth came out that she realized that this seemingly humble transaction was, from beginning to end, his long-planned and infatuated fall.

Demining/Early Warning
1. The first part is a little bit cruel, because it needs to advance the plot.
2. The heroine's extremely low self-esteem and stubbornness in the early stage may make readers feel "rushed", but this is her instinct of self-protection, and she will slowly grow in the later stage.
3. The second male lead has relatively few scenes, and mainly exists as a regret for "missing out", focusing on silent protection.
4. There will be a little bit of intrigue because the case needs to be investigated.
Intention: The steadfastness of love in the face of mistakes
