Lin Xuan, the only daughter of the General Who Guards the North, did right by the Lin clan and the Great Xu Dynasty, but failed the one person she was married to, Wen Qingyun.
The Ninth Princess had married her, but Lin Xuan had never once looked her in the eye.
She thought Wen Qingyun had used underhanded means to force the emperor to issue the decree.
Later, Lin Xuan trusted a petty villain, was betrayed by the woman she loved, chose the wrong side, and died a gruesome death within the palace. Her head was hung from the city wall for all to see, a target of ridicule.
Only Wen Qingyun was willing to ask the new emperor to let Lin Xuan be laid to rest, offering to agree to a political marriage in exchange.
As the funeral procession set out and Wen Qingyun was about to be sent far away beyond the frontier, she wore a red dress and dashed herself against Lin Xuan’s tombstone.
Only then did Lin Xuan realize who had truly cared for her amid all the schemes and counter-schemes.
But it was too late...
When Lin Xuan awoke, she was dressed in red wedding robes. She stared at Wen Qingyun, who was practically being bound and shoved into her residence to marry her, and froze...
In a nutshell: You have to spoil the wife you brought home, even if you have to do it on your knees.
