[Traditional Historical Romance, Childhood Sweethearts, Political Intrigue, Two Strong Leads, Happy Ending]

Two years ago, Shen Mi's father and brother died in battle, and she took their place to defend her homeland.

Two years later, Shen Mi returned to the estate with Jiang Yuheng, whom she had met on the battlefield.

But she discovered that he had married and had a child. She had become the woman in a storybook who was brought home from the frontier by her husband.

Unwilling to become a secondary wife in the Marquis's household, she was drugged and forced to comply.

In a daze, she escaped and happened to fall into the arms of her childhood sweetheart.

She flipped him onto his back, straddled him, and kissed him without a care.

The next day, he appeared under a secret identity, looking aggrieved. "You were so passionate last night, but you forgot me as soon as it was over. You're breaking my heart."

His tone was so full of worldly experience it was almost choking, as if she were a heartless cad who had used him and run off with her pants still in her hands...

On the eve of the day she finally uncovered the truth that her father and brother had been framed, she prepared to risk her life by beating the drum of justice.

She changed into a long dress she never usually wore, sneaked into her childhood sweetheart's study, and slept with him.

When Xie Yunqi appeared before her again, he looked utterly aggrieved. "A Yu, how could you be so cruel? You slept with me and then ran off... Are you going to seduce me and abandon me?"

...Fine. So all I have to do is give you a title and become your Princess Consort, Crown Princess, and Empress? What's there to be afraid of?!
