A Widow's Fortunate Marriage

A delicate, beautiful young widow vs. a rough-and-ready military general whose old heart has caught fire

On her way to leave home under duress and seek refuge with distant relatives, Qin Nian is forced to “pick up” a man.

He is covered in blood, with striking brows and bright eyes. His imposing air is soaked in bloodshed, and his movements are rough, making him seem like a bandit.

When he looks at her, his phoenix eyes are deep and blazing.

Terrified by his gaze, Qin Nian finally makes it to the moment they part. She hurriedly hands him her luggage.

He takes the luggage and gives her a token. “Give this to my father and brother. They'll make the scoundrels who tried to force you to become a concubine pay. And wait for me.”

Qin Nian takes the token, assuming it is payment for saving him.

But when she sets her sights on a young man, he backs her into a corner and grips her chin with one hand. “Is this how you waited for me?”

Qin Nian shrinks back and releases her tightly bitten lower lip. “I'm only a merchant's daughter, and I've already been married once. I wouldn't dare presume to marry the third son of a military family with a century of history.”

“Is it that you don't dare, or that you don't want to?”

Meng Zhao has won countless military honors. Still young, he has already risen to the fourth rank and been appointed as an inspector of the capital's garrison troops.

All he cares about is making a name for himself. He has no interest in romance.

While secretly tracking a bandit, he is instead pursued by them.

Wounded and desperate for help, he looks up and sees a widow in plain clothes, whose dazzling beauty still shines through.

His heart gives a little jolt, and he wants to make her his.

A little scene:

More than sixty days after begging His Majesty to grant their marriage, Meng Zhao finally gets his way.

That night, the woman's eyes are hazy, and her voice is hoarse. “No... no more...”

Having gotten a taste for it, Meng Zhao only grows more relentless.

“You want more? Whatever my wife asks, I'll do my best to give her.”
