Called Off? The Eldest Legitimate Daughter Is a Powerful Official's White Moonlight

Everyone in the capital knew that Shen Rujun, daughter of the Duke's household, had waited four years for Xiao Yiran, until he rose from obscurity to become a celebrated general at court.

But when Xiao Yiran returned victorious, the first thing he did was scheme to switch fiancées.

Overnight, her decorated fiancé became another woman's husband, while Shen Rujun became a laughingstock in the eyes of the capital.

Miss Lin, who had stolen her fiancé, strutted around in front of her, and her former fiancé even feigned pity as he offered to marry Shen Rujun as his concubine.

Shen Rujun refused to indulge them. She mounted her horse, cracked her whip, and tossed down a divorce letter, ending this ill-fated relationship for good.

And what of the military achievements Xiao Yiran was so proud of? The Duke's legitimate daughter was no less skilled in strategy or combat than anyone else, and the emperor himself had once appointed her to lead his troops.

But as she rode into battle across the land, Zuo Yunan, the most powerful man at court, pursued her relentlessly. He even made it known to the world that Shen Rujun had once saved his life, and that he wished to marry into the Duke's household.

Xiao Yiran, who had broken off their engagement, came looking for her too. "Rujun, after all these years together, how can you destroy a lifelong bond over a moment's impulse?"

Zuo Yunan ignored him completely and wrapped an arm around Shen Rujun's slender waist. "Lady Shen, may I marry into your family today?"

Shen Rujun rubbed her forehead helplessly. "Stop fooling around."

Zuo Yunan smiled warmly. "I can never repay you for saving my life, so all I can do is offer myself to you. I hope you'll grant my wish."
