The Road Home

The Marquis's residence in the capital was destroyed by infighting.

The young lady of the house, Lu Ruyan, met an untimely death.

When she opened her eyes again, she had become the legitimate daughter of a down-on-his-luck merchant family.

No fine clothes or lavish meals, no beauty or fame... Their family was buried in debt, and every last one of them went hungry.

Lu Ruyan gritted her teeth. Fine. She would make a life for herself and stand up to the local bullies. Only after risking her life did she discover that someone was willing to lay down his life for her.

Later, when the family was thriving, she unexpectedly learned the truth about the old feud surrounding the Marquis's residence. Her enemies were living carefree lives.

So she went to the capital to uncover the truth and avenge her death.

When she turned her head, she saw that the foolish boy who had once been willing to risk his life for her had grown into a towering tree, sheltering her from wind and rain.

Everyone in the capital wondered why the young general, so favored by the emperor and with such a bright future, had fallen for a merchant's daughter from a lowly family. Only Ye Weijiang knew: she was the precious treasure of his heart, the one he had chosen as a child.

Lu Ruyan: You are a rising young star with a bright future. So many beautiful ladies and noble young women in the capital hope you'll take them as your wife. You could make a much better choice...

Ye Weijiang: I only want you.

I thought I would walk this life alone, but who could have expected that this love would be so hard to refuse?

The road home is arduous, but I'm grateful to have you by my side.
