A Widow for a Wife, a War God Uncle Who Only Wants to Fall in Love

Yun Xueli had just married, but before they could consummate the marriage, her husband went off to war.

The Duke of Jing’s family had five generals. Four died in battle, leaving only her brother-in-law, Li Jingzhi, alive.

A traitor’s scheme and an enemy’s plot left Li Jingzhi drugged. He returned and broke into the bridal chamber!

Inside, they fell into a tender, passionate embrace.

When he came to his senses, he knelt before her with a short blade in hand, exhaustion and despair in his eyes.

“Third Sister-in-law, I’m sorry. Kill me.”

Suppressing her tangled feelings, she brought out her medicine chest and turned to tend his wounds.

“We can settle what happened between us after we avenge your father and brothers.”

Li Jingzhi, the Duke of Jing’s fourth son, had been a mischievous boy and the clan’s notorious troublemaker. No one knew how calculating and valiant he truly was.

After the Battle of Ziyang Pass, he was the only one of the family’s five generals left alive. He escaped through a sea of corpses and flames, carrying a blood feud, yet found himself trapped in schemes with no way out.

His paternal aunts and uncles in the western residence sought to seize the title, while the emperor schemed to reclaim power at court. At his most desperate hour, his newly widowed sister-in-law stepped forward and held the family together on her own. She freed him from worry, and made him harbor forbidden thoughts.
