Take a Second Wife? That Very Night, I Hook Up with the General's Archenemy

For five years, I stayed alone in the inner chambers, waiting day after day for my husband, the general guarding the border, to return.

But when he finally came back, weary from the road, a frail woman was clinging close by his side.

In front of the entire household, he calmly told me that Su Wanyue had traveled with him through countless battlefields and saved his life. He wanted to marry her as his co-wife, so the two of us could share the general's estate and enjoy his care and glory equally.

Five years of devoted waiting, five years of lonely nights by a single lamp, reduced to a joke in an instant.

I was the legitimate daughter of the Lu family, proud to the core. I'd rather die than live beneath another woman and share a husband.

My heart froze to the bone, and every last shred of dignity was torn away.

Later, Shen Yan knelt before me, begging me to look at him just once more. But it was too late.
