[Marriage Before Love] [Her Secret Crush Comes True] [A Timid, Sensitive Concubine-Born Daughter vs. A Dazzling Young General]
Zhou Yingxue is the least noticeable concubine-born daughter of the Marquis of Yanping's household. She is cautious and timid, asking only to marry without trouble and live out her days in peace.
But at a spring banquet, her legitimate-born older sister played a trick on her, and she fell into the lake. Soaked through, she had no choice but to sneak into a room to change.
Just as she had half removed her clothes, the screen behind her suddenly toppled over. She came face-to-face with a handsome young man whose sleepy eyes and languid expression met her startled gaze.
And then... her springtime charms were laid bare.
"I'll marry you," he said in a low, pleasant voice, his tone decisive and firm.
Then his well-defined lips pressed together, and he added hesitantly, "If you're willing."
How could she possibly not be willing?
He was the God of War of Great Yan, a dazzling young general, and the bright moon she had only ever dared to admire from afar.

Lately, Young General Xiao Yiheng has seemed absent-minded, as though something is weighing on his mind. When Zhou Yingxue asks after him, he only replies distantly, "It's nothing."
She knows he married her only out of a gentleman's sense of duty, not because he truly wanted to. And a lowly concubine-born girl like her was never worthy of him in the first place.
After catching him entering a restaurant with the most beautiful woman in the capital, she finally decides to leave.
That night, he finds her clutching their divorce agreement, his eyes bloodshot. He grabs her hand and holds it tight. "Don't go."
"I don't care who you're hiding in your heart. You married me, so I won't let you leave."
