After her father passed away, Wen Ci sought refuge in the General's residence under the terms of a marriage contract.
Wen Ci knew the General's protection had saved her life.
She also knew the General had no feelings for her. Her father had secured the contract by enduring accusations that he was exploiting a past favor.
On her wedding day, Wen Ci had already made up her mind.
She would know her place, play the role of the General's wife well, and put his worries to rest. If the General ever fell for someone else, she wouldn't cling to her position as his legal wife. She would ask to leave of her own accord.
It would be her way of repaying the General, and clearing her father's name.
Wen Ci had thought everything through, but later, when she heard the General had fallen for someone, her eyes still reddened with hurt...

“To repay the General, one day I will ask to leave you.”
Repay him? Ask to leave?
Zong Yue ground his teeth in anger.
Other people repaid a favor by giving themselves to their benefactor. Why, when it came to him, was she asking to leave?
