After Being Divorced, She Married a Cold-Hearted General

Everyone said Feng Luan was blessed. Her husband, Shen Lansheng, was a celebrated scholar in the county. He had passed the provincial examination at a young age, and all he had to do was go to the capital next year to take the metropolitan examination. Feng Luan would soon be the wife of an official.

Her life wasn't as glamorous as it looked to outsiders. Her in-laws were demanding, her sisters-in-law were difficult, and her husband treated her indifferently. All the household chores, great and small, were left to her. But life had to go on. She took out her own savings to send Shen Lansheng to the capital for the examinations. At last, she received the happy news that he had passed the imperial examination. Before she could celebrate, however, she was told that Chancellor had claimed Shen Lansheng as a son-in-law right after the results were announced.

Her in-laws were overjoyed when they heard the news. They immediately wrote her a letter of divorce and drove her out of the Shen household. In an instant, the once-fortunate wife became a discarded woman, and everyone came to mock her. Her family was ashamed, and hastily found a household to marry her off to. Feng Luan cried until nightfall, then escaped under cover of darkness, only to be captured by bandits. Just as she was giving up hope, a man came to her rescue. He said, "If you don't mind, my lady, you may become my wife."

Feng Luan vaguely recognized him as a general she had saved a year ago, a man named Xie Baichuan. With nowhere else to turn, she gritted her teeth and agreed.

Xie Baichuan had spent years on the battlefield, and carried a fierce, deadly air about him. He was cold by nature, and treated Feng Luan with indifference. He also refused to consummate their marriage. Feng Luan was troubled. As a woman entering her second marriage, she wanted to build a good life with him, but it seemed Xie Baichuan had only married her to repay his debt. With no other choice, Feng Luan kept to her place and acted cautiously around him.

Then one day, Xie Baichuan got drunk and cornered her, kissing her until she could hardly breathe. He completely lost control. "Luan Niang, look at me..."

Shen Lansheng had never intended to divorce his wife. He had planned to marry the Chancellor's daughter first, then bring Feng Luan to the capital later and honor her as his secondary wife. But when he saw her again, she was nestled in another man's arms like a timid little bird. Shen Lansheng was so furious he nearly went mad. He rushed forward to grab her, only for the tall, broad-shouldered man to knock him to the ground with one palm. "She is my wife. Lord Shen, please show some respect!"
