Deep in the Brocade Curtains

On her wedding day, Shen Ruojin’s intended groom, Pei Jing, eloped with her half-sister. She immediately found a new groom and married Qin Lang, the man her half-sister had been meant to marry. Qin Lang was a notorious playboy and the capital’s number-one troublemaker. Pei Jing sneered, “Shen Ruojin, just to spite me, you married a wastrel like Qin Lang? You’re chasing wealth and comfort now, but you’ll regret it!” Everyone said Qin Lang had married her just for fun. Shen Ruojin simply smiled. She was born into a family of generals, and her ambitions lay beyond the domestic sphere. Did they really think she couldn’t wield a blade? Who could have guessed that after they wed, their nights would grow hotter and longer? Shen Ruojin kept reminding him of their agreement: “We said we’d divorce after a year...” But her playboy husband changed completely. He killed her lifelong enemy, rose to the very top, and placed ultimate power in her hands. “Divorce? Why? The realm and I both belong to you.”
