Dumped by Her Fiancé? The Legitimate Eldest Daughter Is the Powerful Minister’s One True Love

Everyone in the capital knew that Shen Rujun, the Duke's daughter, 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 betrothed couples. Overnight, her valiant fiancé became another woman's husband, and Shen Rujun became a laughingstock in the eyes of the entire capital. Miss Lin, who had stolen her fiancé, strutted about in front of her, while her former fiancé put on a show of pity and said he could marry Shen Rujun as his concubine. Shen Rujun refused to put up with either of them. She mounted her horse, cracked her whip, and left behind a letter of divorce, putting an end to this ill-fated relationship once and for all. As for the military achievements Xiao Yiran took such pride in? The Duke's legitimate daughter was as skilled in strategy and martial arts as anyone, and the emperor himself had once appointed her to lead troops. But when she galloped across the battlefield, Zuo Yunan, the most powerful man in the court, pursued her relentlessly. He even made it known to the whole world that she had once saved his life, and that he wanted to marry into the Duke's family. Xiao Yiran, who had broken off their engagement, came to her door as well. “Rujun, after all these years of affection between us, how can you ruin a lifetime of marriage over a moment's impulse?” Zuo Yunan paid him no heed, wrapping an arm around Shen Rujun's slender waist. “Lord Shen, will you allow me to marry into your family today?” Shen Rujun rubbed her forehead helplessly. “Stop fooling around.” Zuo Yunan smiled warmly. “I have no way to repay you for saving my life, so I can only offer myself to you. I hope you'll grant my wish.”
