In troubled times, everything is precarious. In order to ensure the prosperity of the family, the Zheng family entered into a marriage alliance with the Duke of Qi and gave away their legitimate daughter to the eldest son's happiness.
The two families were far apart, and the prince was sick and unable to withstand fatigue, so his younger brother Jiang Mingji came to welcome the bride instead of his elder brother.
On the day of her wedding, Xi Wan lowered her eyebrows and walked forward silently. She made a wrong step and almost fell down, but was supported by someone beside her.
She raised her eyes in surprise, and saw a gentle and handsome face smiling at her with concern: "Sister-in-law, be careful."
In the last years of the dynasty, bandits were rampant, and the wedding procession was attacked on the way. The carriage overturned and the horse rolled to the ground at dawn.
In the chaos, she was firmly protected, and blood flowed onto her wedding dress. It was Jiang Mingji who blocked an arrow for her.
Facing Xiwan's panicked and tearful eyes, he smiled and comforted: "Miss Zheng, don't be afraid."
In this way, Xi Wan was escorted all the way and successfully married the prince.
However, the prince suffered from a hidden illness and was withdrawn. He would scold and beat him whenever he disagreed, and Xi Wan was tortured to the point of death.
Once, Jiang Jiming happened to bump into him. He was so angry that he stopped the servant's whip and asked: "How can eldest brother bully my sister-in-law?"
The prince sneered: "My wife's life and death are naturally decided by me."
Xiwan felt deeply desperate, covered her face and left in tears, trying to seek death. However, she was rescued by Jiang Jiming, who comforted her that there was still a way forward, and if it didn't work, they could still make peace.
She shook her head and choked up: "This marriage is not only to bring happiness to your eldest brother, but also a marriage between two families. It cannot be reversed by me alone. Unless I die, I will never be able to get rid of it..."
Jiang Jiming gently wiped away her tears and said warmly: "There will be a way, believe me, Miss Xiwan."
At that time, the country was in turmoil and wars broke out. The second son of the Duke of Qi led the troops to put down the rebellion. Emperor Qin had meritorious service and did not want any reward. He only wanted a peace decree for his eldest sister-in-law.
When the news came, Xiwan's mind was shaken and she was speechless.
When the prince heard the news, he was very angry and wanted to slap Xiwan, but Jiang Jiming stopped him flatly and said coldly: "She is no longer the eldest brother's wife, and she will not tolerate being treated lightly by him!"
Looking at the tall figure standing in front of her, Xi Wan's heart palpitated.
After the reconciliation, Jiang Jiming escorted Xiwan on the road back to her parents' home.
On the way, they encountered rebels again. This time, Xiwan blocked an arrow for Jiang Jiming. She looked at him with a pale face, and tried her best to smile: "Finally... I have repaid you some kindness..."
After returning to her parents' home, Xiwan lived a miserable life.
Although she was the legitimate daughter, she came from a side branch and was not favored. Jiang Jiming asked for the imperial edict of coming and leaving on her behalf, which made a big fuss, so he simply stayed in seclusion.
Until one day, the sound of gongs and drums was heard outside, and the maid came in excitedly and told her that Marquis Dingjun had come to propose marriage.
Xiwan was confused, who is Dingjunhou?
A handsome young man stepped outside the door.
The person who came had a face like a crown jewel, and he called her with a smile: "Wan Wan."
