The Lady with the Command Seal Is Mighty: Down the Mountain to Deal with the Defiant

[Revising the novel, sorry for disrupting updates]

[Marriage first, love later + returning from the mountain to carry the whole family + sweet romance + a heroine who never takes a loss x an extremely protective hero]

They say the Ming family grows good bamboo that produces bad shoots. Its children are either vicious or stupid, not a decent one among them.

The eldest daughter has been married for years and has only one daughter. Jealous that a concubine is carrying a boy, she conspires with outsiders to make the concubine lose the baby. The second son is so infatuated with a pretty widow that he rushes to play father to her son, then even supports her mother-in-law.

The fourth son is worse still: he commits arson and kills someone, so his own father breaks his leg in front of everyone.

Just as the household falls into disarray, the third young lady, rumored to have died years ago, returns.

Ming Ji breaks evil spells, uncovers the truth, and hunts down every demon and swindler who has been harming her family. Along the way, she straightens out her stubborn father's stubborn streak, too.

Sent to the capital on a mission to “stand by her husband,” she discovers that the capital is crawling with even more monsters and demons. And that's not all: her convenient husband, whom she married for mutual benefit, is looking at her more and more strangely.

Wei Zhi, the head of the imperial Baoyuan Bureau, has the ethereal looks of an immortal and is the dream man of countless noblewomen. But he once oversaw the prisons, and is ruthless and vicious. Few dare to cross him.

Then his “strange illness” is cured, and he returns to the capital with a wife.

A noblewoman: “Some country girl, crude and vulgar. I heard she had to become a broodmare to win Lord Wei over. Shameless!”

Ming Ji says nothing. She simply rolls up her sleeves, slaps, punches, and kicks.

Later, everyone learns that Lord Wei is not to be trifled with, and his wife is even more fearsome.

Ming Ji: My fate star is bound to the fortunes of the realm. What can you possibly compare with me?
