The beacon fire at the border has not yet extinguished, but the storm in the capital has begun.
After a great victory in Lizhou, General Meng Shi returned triumphantly, but was summoned to Kyoto by an imperial edict. He was granted the title of Marquis of Jingyang and moved to the capital with his family. Before she could gain a foothold, an imperial edict granting marriage fell on the head of Meng Yurong, the legitimate daughter of the Meng family.
She was allegedly married to Xie Qi, the eldest son of Anguo Gong.
Xie Qi, who became famous at a young age, guarded Jingchuan and had great military exploits. He was a young general praised by everyone in the capital and the most dazzling gold-lettered signboard of Anguo Palace. But under that glorious reputation, he was the most disliked "outsider" in Duke Anguo's palace. His stepmother was cold and his younger siblings were scornful. He did not return to the family for three years, and only lived and died at the border.
Meng Yurong, who grew up with the army since childhood, is smart and transparent, knows how to advance and retreat, and understands propriety. She understood that this imperial decree granting marriage was the grace of the Holy Spirit and the emperor's check and balance. She had no choice but to swallow all her grievances and uneasiness.
One is an iron-blooded marshal at the border, and the other is a general with a gift of a daughter.
He hunts down traitors in thunderstorm nights, while she swings alone under the crabapple tree; he sharpens his skills in blood and fire, and she learns tolerance through rules and etiquette. Their marriage seemed like they had never been connected to each other.
Until the traitor case at the border involved Yu Wang's party, Xie Qi was forced to return to the capital. They met for the first time on their wedding night. This was a marriage that began with an imperial decree, and a sincerity slowly born out of intrigues.
"Begonia is no longer the same as before"——
The iron-blooded marshal at the border × the general's gift to his daughter
A marriage that started with a betrothal, amidst intrigues and wars, gradually moves towards what the heart desires.
