[Alluring, reluctantly flirtatious fallen noblewoman x cold, calculating great general]

By imperial decree, Shen Yuan, daughter of the Minister of Revenue, is forced to marry Wei Chi, the rumored cruel and arrogant General Who Guards the North. But on the eve of their wedding, chaos erupts on the northern frontier. Wei Chi leads his troops on an expedition and is gone for two years.

Two years later, Wei Chi returns victorious, commanding a mighty army. His imposing bearing makes him one of the most sought-after men in the capital, while Shen Yuan's father is implicated in a military payroll corruption case and thrown in prison.

Overnight, Shen Yuan falls from high society into the abyss, becoming an object of ridicule. Her father is imprisoned, the Shen residence is confiscated, and no one mentions the wedding that never took place.

To clear her father's name, Shen Yuan steels herself and moves into the general's residence under the pretense of being his fiancée, bending over backward to please her future husband...

Before the gauzy curtains, Shen Yuan's trembling fingertips trace the man's narrow waist.

His expression remains impassive as his gaze sweeps over her slender, pale hand. "If you feel wronged, you can leave at any time."

Beneath her sheer silk robe, the graceful curves of her body are faintly visible. Shen Yuan forces her fingers to stop shaking. "I already belong to you, General."

When Wei Chi first met Shen Yuan, she was a noblewoman far above his station, her clear eyes sparkling, her manner elegant and refined. She was as bright and pure as the new moon, beautiful yet beyond his reach.

When he saw her again, she had come to him of her own accord. With her slender waist and snowy skin, she was a pearl fallen into the dust. Wei Chi never pretended to be a gentleman.

He thought he had planned everything perfectly. But only on the night he cleared the Shen family's name, when Shen Yuan had taken all she wanted and left without a word, did he realize that he had been the only one falling in love all along.

He rode out of the city in pursuit that very night and stopped her carriage. Through gritted teeth, he cornered her in the carriage. "You are already my wife, Wei Chi's wife. Where do you think you're going?"
