When Shen Meiyue married Helian Qi, she never imagined he would make it back alive from the battlefield.
*
At the time, the marriage had been bestowed by the emperor. Grand Tutor Shen had never approved of it in his heart. His precious daughter was one of the most beautiful and accomplished young ladies in all of Yanjing. How could Helian Qi, a rough soldier, possibly be worthy of her?
Yet, despite all his efforts, he could not defy the emperor's wishes, and the Helian family had more or less guessed how the Shen family felt.
Unexpectedly, the Shen family fell into disgrace overnight. Grand Tutor Shen was imprisoned on false charges, his life hanging in the balance, and the imperial marriage decree became Shen Meiyue's protective charm.
Now the daughter of a condemned official, she was looked down on and mocked by the Helian household's other wives, who laughed that Grand Tutor Shen's efforts had all been in vain.
The once pampered and honored young lady now had no choice but to depend on the Helian family's goodwill.

Helian Qi returned from the battlefield to his residence. He looked at the peerlessly beautiful woman before him, her head lowered and eyes cast down in silence. Delicate and cool, she was as lovely as the bright new moon, unlike any ordinary painted beauty.
The man was breathtakingly handsome, yet gave a frivolous smile. He reached out with his large, elegant hand and lifted Shen Meiyue's pointed chin:
"Do you know? Now you can only rely on me."
