Synopsis
Qin Yan transmigrated and became the wife of the Heir of the Prince of Wei.
People said that Heir Xu was gentle, refined, and strikingly handsome. Qin Yan thought so too, until she accidentally glimpsed another side of her gentle husband.
Cold-blooded and brutal, with countless lives on his hands.
Qin Yan figured that if things kept going this way, once he discovered she was an impostor, she'd end up having her bones pulled out and her skin stripped off.
So she secretly saved money by opening an apothecary, carefully kept up her disguise, and planned to part ways with him once the time was right.
But as time passed, their married life unexpectedly became sweet and harmonious.
As she ran the apothecary, Xu Xuanqi stood up for her against malicious gossip and slander, and even brought her rare medicinal ingredients to cheer her up.
Several times at night, she even caught him secretly removing the bedding they'd used to sleep apart.
Qin Yan gradually began to feel that life could be pretty good this way.
Until Xu Xuanqi led his troops into battle. Blades showed no mercy, and her husband didn't even leave a body behind.
At the funeral hall, Qin Yan knelt before the coffin, weeping in sorrow, when someone draped a robe over her shoulders.
The newcomer was young and handsome, his every movement filled with tenderness. He said to her, "Sister-in-law, don't cry. You still have me."
Qin Yan barely knew Xie Rong. She only knew he was her late husband's sworn brother and a young general who had recently found great favor.
After Xu Xuanqi died, she and Xie Rong began seeing each other more often.
Xie Rong frequently visited her clinic and helped manage its affairs, sometimes without even having time to eat.
Qin Yan never thought much of it, assuming he was just looking after his elder brother's widow.
One day, she wept because she missed her husband. Xie Rong, drunk, stayed beside her for a long time before reaching out as if pleading, "Qin Niang, could you please look at me?"
On the day of her wedding to Xie Rong, half the powerful families in the capital came to offer congratulations. With her face covered by a bridal veil, Qin Yan walked hand in hand with him, when the clash of weapons rang out and someone cried in alarm.
Her long-lost husband rode through the swirling snow, countless soldiers behind him. His gaze was filled with an almost crazed longing for her.
Xie Rong pulled her behind him with one hand. There was none of the joy of brothers reunited in his expression, only wariness and suspicion.
Xu Xuanqi was born into nobility. For years, he had held himself to strict standards and stayed away from romance. Then he met Qin Yan, and every smile and frown of his wife became irresistibly adorable to him.
Love was the most soul-wrenching thing in the world. His desire grew by the day. Fortunately, they would be together forever.
He crawled out of a pile of corpses to find his lost love, only to discover that some blind fool had deliberately tried to seduce her and take his place.
His darling was blameless. The one at fault was the man who had deceived her.
The first time he met his "sister-in-law," she saved him when he was injured. She was a brilliant, perceptive physician.
Xie Rong joked that Brother Xu and his wife were deeply devoted to each other, yet in his damp dreams, it was he who stood beside Qin Yan.
What had Xu Xuanqi done to deserve meeting her first? Why hadn't I been the one to meet her?
So he used every means at his disposal to claim a place by her side, even if it meant turning against his brother and earning the world's scorn. He would never give up, even in death.
