The Warlord Abducted a Wife

Zhen Fu was born in Bashu, where the Later Han had retreated when foreign enemies invaded.

Her father was a senior official of the Later Han, her mother was the most beautiful woman in Wei, and she was an heir to the Way of Vertical and Horizontal Diplomacy.

As a child, she traveled mountains and rivers with her maternal grandfather, a master of the Way of Vertical and Horizontal Diplomacy, discussing statecraft and pointing out the course of the world.

But life and death are ordained. Her grandfather lived out his full span, and Zhen Fu, who had been free to roam, was taken back to Bashu and confined deep within the women's quarters, where she became the emperor's study companion.

She thought she would spend the rest of her life obeying her father's wishes, moving from one low wall to another high one, marrying the emperor and living out her days.

Until her mother died suddenly and her father disappeared without a trace. With no choice, she secretly left Bashu for Pu in search of him…

*

After the realm fell apart, the State of Pu became one of the most powerful of the feudal states. It could repel foreign enemies and bring stability to the Central Plains.

Yet people disagreed over Pu's achievements, because its lord, Cao Xian, was bloodthirsty, brutal, and ruthless.

To secure his position, he not only destroyed neighboring states and seized their fertile lands, but even showed no mercy to his own family and kin.

*

Cao Xian was aloof and rigid, adhering only to his own principles.

If foreign tribes harassed his people, he would slaughter them to the last man.

If neighboring states resorted to schemes, he had never seen a conflict that couldn't be settled by force.

If his family betrayed their country, he would put duty first, kill them himself, and avenge his father.

He thought his remaining years would be spent in the saddle, traveling between battlefields in the north and south, protecting the peace of the people in his care until he was wrapped in his armor and buried.

Until a woman with a flower-bright smile entered his life, took up the pieces on the board, and broke his deadlock.

He resolved to keep her by his side, no matter what.

Dai Zhi met Rong Chen when she was fourteen. They stayed by each other's side from then on, traveling from Hexi to Luocheng. For more than a decade, their unwavering love became the stuff of legend.

Rong Chen is a regent, holding both military and political power in his hands. He is the very image of a cold, powerful minister, swift to strike and responsible for countless deaths.

But no one except Dai Zhi knows that beneath his cold, vicious exterior is a clingy little demon

"Why go out, my lady? Why not stay home and sleep with me?"

"If you're going out, how can I not go with you?"

"Why won't you hold my hand, my lady?"

"Why are you smiling at someone else?"

Dai Zhi: ...

Who knew he was so petty and kept score over everything?

-

Rong Chen has a secret.

He was the reason Dai Zhi couldn't remember the five years she'd lost.

Whenever he held her as she fell asleep, he feared she'd call out another man's name.

He was afraid she had truly loved someone else.

The day his secret was exposed, Rong Chen thought Dai Zhi was going to leave.

He went mad and dragged her back in the middle of the street. "What, now that you remember him, you don't want me anymore?"
