Ping Shan Marquis Shi Wuying, the undefeated god of war who conquered more than half of Jin's territory.

According to rumors, he wanted neither women nor wealth, devoting himself entirely to battles on horseback.

On the day he defeated Qi, he asked the court for a reward: to marry the Queen of Qi, once the eldest princess of Jin.

Rumor had it that during the three years the Ping Shan Marquis served as a study companion in the palace, he and the eldest princess had long been at odds.

This marriage was nothing more than revenge under the pretense of a wedding.

Everyone thought the once-proud eldest princess was certain to meet a terrible end.

But no one knew that ten years ago, a girl had stood in front of a helpless boy and looked up at the people bullying him. “He's under my protection!”

Years later, that boy took up his sword for the girl he loved. His warhorses trampled every surrounding land, all to win her a peaceful and prosperous world.

The Ye family was found guilty and exiled three thousand li away.

As if imprisonment weren't enough, they were attacked and robbed by bandits. Fortunately, General Gu Xianyue, stationed on the border, arrived in time to suppress them.

With her father seriously ill, her mother distraught, and her younger sister frail, Ye Qizhu, once proud and haughty, had no choice but to grit her teeth, swallow her pride, and feign tenderness toward the ruthless, iron-hearted, burly general, hoping to keep her whole family safe.

Later, to clear her father's name and avenge her brother, Ye Qizhu decided to return to the capital with Gu Xianyue. She appeared to give herself to him, but secretly used his power and network of informants to investigate the truth of what happened all those years ago, working with her childhood sweetheart, her fiancé.

Once everything was revealed, Ye Qizhu had fulfilled her wish. She set fire to the courtyard where she had lived, faked her death, and left that place of trouble behind to live in seclusion with her childhood sweetheart in Jiangnan.

But after only two peaceful years, a man covered in dew blocked her doorway one day. His eyes were red as a rabbit's, but his voice was cold as a blade.

“Either come with me, or I'll bring my army and raze this city to the ground.”

Before she could answer, he pulled her into his arms, his voice breaking apart.

“...Please.”

Gu Xianyue had joined the army as a boy and lived a life of hardship, carrying on his father's legacy by guarding the border. Romance had no place in his life.

Then, among the prisoners he happened to rescue while suppressing bandits, there was a woman who actually offered herself to him.

She was beautiful, gentle, and endearing. When she looked as though she were about to cry, she was even harder to resist. Gu Xianyue swallowed silently. He was only helping her take care of her sick family...

Later, with warm red curtains, fragrant sleeves, and snowflakes falling by the red-hot brazier, Gu Xianyue fell more and more deeply in love. No matter what, he wanted to take his beloved convict back to the capital, uncover the truth for her, and marry her openly, so they could be together for the rest of their lives.

But on the day the truth came to light, the woman he loved, who had endured so much yet remained unyielding, died in a sea of flames. He knelt in the ruins, dug down to the very foundations, clutched charred earth in his palm, and held on to her old clothes without letting go.

Everyone said he had gone mad. Some even tried to comfort him: Let her be dead. She wasn't the one who saved your life anyway.

He had known the truth all along. He had mistaken her for someone else and repaid the wrong person. But so what?

He loved Ye Qizhu, not the woman who had saved his life.

Unfortunately, there was no Ye Qizhu left in this world.

Until, two years later in Jiangnan, he came across a face exactly like hers.

The man's voice was hoarse, his eyes bloodshot. “I suspected everyone, but I never once suspected that you were the one who wanted to leave me!”

“Without you, I haven't slept well a single night in two years.”

“Has he touched you there, too?”

“Did you do this with him, too?”

Female lead: I love you. I'm pretending.

Male lead: There are so many powerful people. Why does she only use me and not anyone else? It must mean she loves me!

Reading guide:

1. The male lead is cold at first, but once he falls for the female lead, he is absolutely devoted to her.

2. The female lead only suffers during the early exile (I can't bear to make my female lead suffer). At first, she thinks she's at a disadvantage in the relationship (when in fact, she could already have the male lead wrapped around her finger). Once she realizes he loves her, she doesn't hesitate to put him in his place.

3. Yes, the second male lead loves her too. The theme of this story is that the female lead is irresistible to everyone.

Theme: When you have kindness in your heart, you can feel the kindness of others
