Jiang Mian was General Yun Yi of Qi's kept woman. Beautiful but of humble birth, she had no known father and a mother whose name was unknown.
To live comfortably, she had no choice but to put all her effort into winning Yun Yi over, then play the part of a gentle, sweet, obedient canary in front of him.
Until the Duke of Qi's household came looking for her and told her she was the legitimate daughter they had lost years ago.
Jiang Mian didn't believe it.
Jiang Mian was astonished.
Jiang Mian was ecstatic!
At last, Jiang Mian let loose and cast off her meek little secret identity.
With money and power, who would still bother with cold-faced, bad-tempered Yun Yi?
General Yun Yi, the mighty and valiant commander of Wei, was a peerless warrior and the object of every woman's admiration. Yet this brilliant man had been abandoned by his own kept woman.
Yun Yi became the laughingstock of the entire capital.
He walked into the empty residence and gritted his teeth in fury.
Then he ran into Jiang Mian again. Watching his former kept woman, now bold and uninhibited, as if she were an entirely different person, Yun Yi slowly furrowed his brow. Then he chuckled, bent close to Jiang Mian, and let his breath brush against her.
Want to leave me?
In your next life.
