Lock Away Your Joy

Jiang Yang lost her father at a young age, and then her mother. All she had left was a cousin, and the two of them supported each other as they grew up.

Unfortunately, when she was sixteen, her cousin, who had gone to serve as a military doctor, inexplicably died on the front line as an ordinary soldier.

From then on, Jiang Yang truly had no one to rely on in this world. She was all alone. Her only wish was to uncover the truth behind her cousin's death.

So she sought out Yue Siqi, her cousin's commanding officer, a distinguished young heir with a brilliant future ahead of him.

Yue Siqi's life was never as easy as other people imagined. At the time, the empress dowager, who held the reins of power and was also his stepmother's cousin, had schemed to send him to this remote border town.

As the heir to the marquis's estate, Yue Siqi had lost his mother young, had an unkind stepmother, and was not particularly loved by his own father.

Relying only on his maternal grandfather, Yue Siqi had stumbled his way through life in the military camp and managed to achieve a measure of success.

Jiang Yang's sudden arrival, however, helped him out of an urgent predicament.

Yue Siqi had thought that after helping Jiang Yang uncover the truth, the two of them would part ways for good and never meet again.

Unfortunately, no one could have expected that the death of a lowly military doctor would lead to a whole series of secrets hidden behind it.

And as they spent more and more time together, he fell in love and lost his heart.

But what about Jiang Yang?

He turned to look at her, only to meet those exceptionally bright eyes, just as he had the first time they met.
