The Thousand-Household Commander's Little Wife Takes Charge of the Home

Ye Jianiang, a refined young woman from a modest family, had been married into the Lu household for just three days when her husband, whom she had never met, died on the battlefield suppressing a rebellion.

First, her vicious mother-in-law forces her to spend twenty years as a widow to earn a chastity arch. Then there are the shackles of feudal morality and social convention.

She is cautious in all she does, hoping only to complete three years of mourning and then divorce and return to her family.

But she never expected Lu Nanfang, her husband's younger half-brother who had arranged their marriage, to be a Brocade Guard captain, feared by all for his Embroidered Spring Saber. She only wants to escape and save her own life, but step by step, he finds his way into her heart. He helps her establish her own household, build a business, and make a living while they weather life's ups and downs together.
