The Noble Wife of the Yan Estate

The General's Noble Wife The eldest daughter of the Gu family was betrothed to Yan Tingyuan, a renowned general with command of a powerful army. They seemed like a match made in heaven, but unfortunately, she had a physical defect that made it difficult for her to bear children. The Gu family was in decline, and only this betrothal could restore its standing.

Fortunately, she soon became pregnant. After giving birth, Shengsheng was finally free and fled to Jiangnan. She had barely enjoyed a year of peace when, one afternoon, she was strolling down the street and unexpectedly ran into Yan Tingyuan!
