A sickly, ambitious Grand Princess x an extremely possessive, devoted guard dog. Marriage first, love later.
[Heroine]
At fifteen, Princess Changning was adored by all. She could compose poetry and essays with ease, and draw a bow strong enough to pull one hundred dan.
Then she woke up one day and found she was twenty-five.
The bad news: Her beloved father had died, and the throne had gone to the younger brother she got along with worst.
The good news: She was still the most honored Grand Princess.
She had expected to command the loyalty of everyone around her, hold power over the court, and keep three thousand handsome men at her beck and call.
In reality, she was a twice-married widow, and had to wear two mourning flowers in her hair.
And both times, she had taken her husbands by force.
“First, she married a prince of a neighboring kingdom. She fell for him at first sight while visiting the people, then schemed to arrange a marriage between their countries. Unfortunately, the prince would rather die than agree, and jumped into a river.”
“Second, she married the new top martial arts graduate. Struck by his handsome looks, she tried every trick in the book, using threats and bribes to have him forcibly dragged back to the princess's residence. Then war broke out, and the martial arts graduate died on the battlefield as a general.”
She closed her eyes helplessly. This was nothing like what she had imagined.
Her maid also told her that her third marriage was coming soon.
[Hero]
Amur was once the bravest general in Wusu. When he was betrothed to a twice-widowed woman from a neighboring kingdom, he scoffed at the idea.
But the first time he saw Changning, she was alone, kneeling in the blinding snow, her thin, fragile body seeming ready to drift away on the wind.
At that single glance, his thoughts came rushing back, and every tangled feeling in his heart found its place.
She was the one person he could never forget, even after crawling out of hell.
He was consumed with jealousy over her first two husbands, yet grateful that they had died young.
From then on, Changning could only be his. She would belong to him alone.
She was a precious pearl beneath his claws. How could anyone else dare covet her?
[Little Scene]
Amur held Changning in his arms. Her face was flushed, and her eyes seemed to hold unspoken words.
He took her hand and brought it to his lips, kissing the back of it affectionately.
He asked seriously, “A Ning, who pleased you more tonight: Pei Ji, Jiang Xingfeng, or Amur?”
Changning rubbed her aching lower back and shot him a sidelong glance. Aren't they all you? Why make me choose? He held onto her hand as if he wouldn't let go until she answered.
“Jiang Xingfeng, all right?” He was the most straightforward, with no tricks. Besides, it was his first time today, so her back didn't hurt quite as much.
“So A Ning likes Jiang Xingfeng? Wait here.”
He got up and left. Changning sighed in relief. At last, she could get some sleep.
Less than fifteen minutes later, the door opened, and Jiang Xingfeng walked in wearing his martial arts champion's outfit.
“Since A Ning likes him, I'll reward him with one more round.”
