Du Jingyi, bearing the tough identity, married into the Duke’s residence, becoming the sixth daughter-in-law of a prominent family.
Her husband, the highly esteemed war god in the current Daxing Dynasty, was Shang Shaoyu, rumored to be notorious for mistreating women.
Originally, she thought it to be a match made in heaven.
Little did she know, on their wedding night, Shang Shaoyu only managed to lift the bridal veil, leaving with the words “Cezhou is in danger,” and was gone for three years.
Upon his return, he realized the household had gained a new wife. Believing she had endured hardship, he discovered his secluded wife in the Xi Tang Courtyard was thriving better than anyone else.
The Duke’s residence lived in a state of turmoil, but she alone lived a life of luxury and privilege…
Du Jingyi sought nothing more than a peaceful retirement, yet she was forced to navigate the complexities of the inner palace.
From graciously yielding half of her bed to an unexpected presence squeezed into her heart.
Just before she succumbed.
The stern and cold-hearted Grand General, however, smiled with warmth and charm.
