[Favoring a concubine and neglecting his wife + wife-chasing crematorium + second male lead gets the girl + female general + satisfying face-slapping]
Su Qingyi traded her military achievements for her husband’s noble title. She willingly spent seven years in the inner household, managing it wholeheartedly and raising their frail son.
But when her husband returned to the capital from a campaign, he brought a female general with him and promised to marry her as a co-wife.
That was when Su Qingyi realized her husband had long since changed his heart.
Her respected mother-in-law urged her to think of the bigger picture.
Her son told her to be more magnanimous.
Even the emperor tried to stop her from divorcing.
Su Qingyi tore up the marriage contract and donned her armor once more. She was never meant to be confined to a pond. She had lingered for the sake of family, but that father and son had long forgotten that she had once been the great general who guarded the nation.

But as he waited, all he saw was the proud, aloof, and peerless powerful minister bowing his head to Su Qingyi.
Xiao Lingxiao was going insane.
