Qiao Yuetong came from a humble family and could never hope to enter the circles of princes and nobles in the capital. Her father planned to marry her off to an envoy from a foreign kingdom.
One day, a verbal decree came from the Imperial Consort, ordering Qiao Yuetong to marry the great general of the Gong household.
Her father was greedy for power and agreed without hesitation.
On the day of her wedding, Qiao Yuetong still had no idea what was going on. How could such a good match possibly fall to her? It was only when she was about to climb into the bridal sedan that the matchmaker quietly whispered something to her, and she finally understood. No wonder it was her...
The Gong family had been a distinguished military household for generations. Gong Qingyu distinguished himself at the age of twenty. He was not only young and promising, but also strikingly handsome, with an unusual air that blended refinement with a wild edge.
The emperor wanted to marry a princess to him. But one year, Gong Qingyu was trapped on an icy river during a battle. After spending a day and a night submerged in the freezing water, he lost the ability to father children!
After that, the emperor never brought up marrying a princess to him again.
Gong Qingyu's elder sister, an Imperial Consort, could not let her family lose face. She also could not bear to see her younger brother alone and without anyone to care for him, so she decided to find him a woman from an ordinary family who was thoughtful and capable.
Qiao Yuetong caught her eye.
At first, Gong Qingyu had given up on family life and only wanted to return to the frontier.
Later, he saw how bright and beautiful the woman was. She could manage a household, and she was also very good at caring for others. His heart stirred, but he did not dare act on it.
Then, just when all seemed lost, it turned out that only Qiao Yuetong could cure Gong Qingyu's strange illness. But he had been the one to keep her at arm's length, and now he was the one begging for her love.
