[The scheming second male lead takes the lead, and there's no getting back together after a breakup]
Yun Yang served as Sheng Xun's deputy general for five years. Sheng Xun had long since grown used to having her around.
The men in camp all thought Yun Yang would marry Sheng Xun. But when Yun Yang and the chancellor's daughter were both in danger, Sheng Xun didn't hesitate to save the chancellor's daughter.
Yun Yang lost a leg because of it, while Sheng Xun promptly turned around and married the chancellor's daughter.
One of his brothers, indignant on Yun Yang's behalf, asked Sheng Xun, "Aren't you going to marry Yun Yang?"
Sheng Xun replied nonchalantly, "When did I ever say I was going to marry her?"
Rumors spread through the capital. People who had never liked Yun Yang laughed behind her back for being so delusional as to think she could marry into the marquis's household.
But on the wedding day, Xie Huaizheng, heir to the Marquis of Wuan, who had long been away from home, suddenly returned.
In front of everyone who had mocked Yun Yang, Xie Huaizheng held out his hand to her and said, "If you can't marry the young master of another household, how about marrying me, the heir?"
Only later, when no one was there to bring Sheng Xun hot tea or warm clothes on cold days, did he realize how much Yun Yang meant to him.
He took Yun Yang's hand and pleaded, "Will you come back and be my deputy general?"
Xie Huaizheng pulled Yun Yang toward himself. "Sorry, she only serves as her own general."
Everyone knows the miracle doctor Xie Huaizheng has two kinds of patients he won't treat:
Generals, and members of the Sheng family.
So when Yun Yang carried the gravely wounded Sheng Xun to his door to beg for treatment, all her belongings were thrown outside.
Xie Huaizheng had always known that his cousin Sheng Xun had a childhood sweetheart named Yun Yang.
He hated Sheng Xun, so he hated everyone around him indiscriminately.
But he never imagined that one day he'd scheme and plot with all his might, using every trick in the book, just to make Yun Yang look at him a little longer!

1. The heroine is kind to Sheng Xun only to repay a debt of gratitude, not because she truly likes him.
2. Kind words make kind bonds. You don't need to tell me if you drop the story.
