Ill-Fated Physician vs. Obedient Puppy-Dog General
In her previous life, Shu Xiang, legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Changning's household, was branded a jinx. Her ill name spread far and wide, and she was sent away as a child to grow up in a nunnery on the frontier. Even so, misfortune never let her go. Not long after her coming-of-age ceremony, she perished in a sea of flames.
By a stroke of luck, she was reborn. This time, she insisted on marrying into the prince's household to bring good fortune, keeping away from her stepmother just to stay alive. She and her husband's family agreed that she would divorce him once he recovered. She devoted every effort to curing him, but then he suddenly went back on his word...
One night during her confinement, a man of noble bearing appeared before her like an immortal descended from the heavens. A curved saber in a silver sheath hung at his waist as he spoke the words that lit a spark in her heart: "I'll take you away from here."
After leaving the prince's household, Shu Xiang bid farewell to her benefactor, only for him to stammer, "Could you do me a favor?"
"A favor? I'd be delighted."
Shu Xiang agreed readily. How could she have known she would be doing this favor for the rest of her life?

When Hua Yilang went to confess his feelings to the woman he loved, full of hope, all he saw was scorched earth. In this life, he kept watch over her early on, only to be shocked and heartbroken when he learned she had married someone else. Never mind. In this life, she is alive. Whether she's called a jinx or gets a divorce, she is still his snow-capped mountain, his moon in the sky, the one dearest to his heart. In his dreams and when awake, Hua Yilang sees only her. This time, he will hold her in his arms. As for that treacherous, good-for-nothing heir, Hua Yilang will teach him a lesson with his blade...
Later, constables by the river saw a gleaming silver saber at the heir's throat. A jade-faced man sneered at him: "So what if she's married? I'll just kill you." The constables shook like leaves in the wind...

In the rear courtyard of the Yuezhou Prefecture Office, Hua Yilang kicked the door open. It crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust visible to the naked eye. The candle on the table flickered in the gust.
Inside, Shu Xiang looked startled, while Li Yan's face darkened with displeasure.
Hua Yilang stepped over the fallen door and calmly looked at them both. He naturally took Shu Xiang by the hand and led her out. "After the flood, the furnishings in this office have become so shoddy. We'd better leave as soon as possible!"
