Shen Yizhen had spent fifteen years as a butcher's daughter when one day she suddenly learned that she was the long-lost daughter of a marquis's household.
But after being brought back, she discovered that this so-called reunion with her family was merely a way to make her a legitimate stand-in for her elder sister in a political marriage: she was to marry Jiang Yunkai, the capital's number one wastrel and the Emperor's brother-in-law.
Everyone in the capital knew that the Emperor's brother-in-law's family had risen from humble beginnings. It was only because he had an elder sister who was a favored consort and a nephew who was the Crown Prince that they had suddenly become the new nobility of the court.
Having gone from frugal living to extravagance, Jiang Yunkai had resolved to become the greatest wastrel under heaven. He would drink the strongest liquor and savor the loveliest beauties.
He never expected that a twist of fate would leave him married to a fake legitimate daughter.
His butcher's little wife was no weakling. She could cook up a feast, and she could also wield a knife to take down a thug.
The Emperor's brother-in-law's dream of being a wastrel was shattered. His little wife was skilled with twin blades, a boning knife in one hand and a cleaver in the other. With a smile, she held them to his neck and asked, "Husband, which book shall we read today?"
The Emperor's brother-in-law tried to divorce her several times, but since he couldn't beat her, he had no choice but to give up.
Later, Jiang Yunkai made his way through the political world, helping the Crown Prince ascend the throne one step at a time, and became the court's most trusted pillar of support.
All the glory he enjoyed was thanks to his butcher's little wife.
She was his light, and he was her subject. He would keep her safe in the palm of his hand forever, shielding her from the fiercest storms and sharpening her blades to a brilliant gleam.
