Springtime Beauty in the Palm of His Hand

After the Jiang family was accused of treason, Jiang Qiwulu was sold to a brothel, where Xie Huaijin rescued her and made her his woman. She knew he had no feelings for her. He had saved her only because her eyes looked so much like Jiang Mingzhu's, but she didn't care. She hid her pride and played the obedient substitute for three years. He thought she was a canary in a cage, never realizing that the trade routes she had built were quietly connecting far and wide.

Jiang Qiwulu fled to the northern frontier and married someone else in a bridal crown and robes. On her wedding day, he knocked her veil away with his sword. The once-proud marquis stared at her with bloodshot eyes and rasped, "Madam, if you want to marry again, could you at least ask your husband first?" Late that night, he wept like a loyal puppy. "Awu, don't leave me."
