Xiao Huanyi doesn't like the disputes over power and desire in the capital. She doesn't want to be a pawn in her father's fight for power and marry into a high family. She just wants to live a peaceful life with her mother in a place of right and wrong.
Pei Yan, the Duke of Zhao, became famous in one battle when he was young. After that, he fought on the battlefield for many years with great achievements. At a young age, he was ranked first among the military generals in the court.
Nowadays, the position of the Duke's wife has been vacant for many years due to her unintentional marriage due to her years of fighting. Countless high-ranking officials in the capital are eyeing his marriage and trying to win him over through marriage.
One is the daughter of a small civil servant, and the other is a high-ranking general. To Xiao Huanyi, such Pei Yan only exists in the deeds talked about by others.
Others say that he is both civil and military.
Others said that he was as decisive in killing and using troops as a god.
Others also said that he was dignified, cold and upright.
Xiao Huanyi thought that the two of them would never cross paths. She never thought that a sudden expedition would lead to the humble Xiao family becoming in-laws with the Duke of Guo.
Xiao Huanyi thought to herself that it would be better to marry Pei Yan than to be married to another dandy.
She used his power to live the life she wanted. If Pei Yan died on the battlefield, she would do her best to protect the Duke's palace.
That's what she originally thought, but who would have thought that that bitch of a man would lead the troops on an expedition right after worshiping in the church, without even taking off his hijab.
Later, she asked him why he went to the battlefield on the wedding night, leaving her alone to face the rumors in the city. Pei Yan's answer surprised her.
This battle is inherently dangerous, and his chances of coming back alive are slim to none. If he still has sex with her, he will really waste her life.
Later she heard that he had fallen in love with her at first sight at a wedding banquet, so when he knew that she was the wife his grandmother had arranged for him, he followed his selfish intentions and agreed, but he was unwilling to really let her become a widow, so he entrusted his mother to take care of her.
If she wants to remarry after his death, his mother will accept her as her adopted daughter, and the Duke's Palace will be her natal family and provide her with support.
If she doesn't want to remarry, as the Duke's wife, his achievements can protect her from worries in her life.
Pei Yan felt that the world was so bad and disgusting, but he heard people say that the world was really beautiful and desirable.
From then on, he watched flowers in spring and admired the moon in autumn, listened to the rain in summer and made tea in winter. There were people around him that he yearned for.
The same four seasons as in previous years seem to be a little different.
