Ye Nian, the legitimate daughter of the Protector General’s household, fell for Zhao Mocheng at first sight when she was twelve. He was a proud, refined scholar her father had taken in. At fifteen, she returned victorious from the frontier with her father. The ebony hairpin Zhao Mocheng tucked into her hair was enough to make her joyfully accept his proposal. On their wedding day, she learned that her father was the man who had killed his father. In the three years that followed, Zhao Mocheng doted on his concubine and neglected and humiliated his wife, plotting at every turn until he killed Ye Zhao and slaughtered her entire family. In her previous life, he tricked her into taking poison, crippled her martial arts, and severed her hand tendons. In despair, she bit through her tongue and died.
Reborn, she returns with decisive resolve and an unbending spirit, ready to turn the tables! Riding alone into battle, she rescues the Third Prince from an ambush and foils the scoundrel’s scheme. Back in the capital, she swiftly divorces him, unravels the truth behind Rongcheng eighteen years ago, and eliminates everyone threatening the General’s household! Jealous? Fond of women? Always at the brothels? And somehow she’s become Prince Jin’s long-adored white moonlight? “If you’ll be mistress of the imperial harem, I’ll offer you the whole world as your bride price! If you won’t, I’ll abandon the throne and give you a life with only one partner, forever!” She barely withstands Xiao Siyu’s boundless devotion before turning around and falling into the heart of the young master of Black Feather Tower. This stunning, cold-hearted beauty smiles only for her. “As long as you remain in Great Wei, the Shangliao army will never cross the border. That is my promise to you.”
