Meng Qianqian, at the age of 15, married into the Lu Family to bring joy to the elderly matriarch.

On the wedding night, urgent news arrived from the border that her husband had been commanded to go to war. Six months later, he tragically died at the hands of Beiliang soldiers.

Five years later, the husband who had been presumed dead returned, and by his side was an ethereal mute woman named Wan'er.

Lu Lingxiao said that Wan'er was the descendant of a loyal and righteous family, entirely different from her—a merchant girl reeking of copper coins. He claimed Wan'er was a true paragon of noble character.

Lu Lingxiao also said that Wan'er was an eagle soaring in the heavens, while someone like her was nothing more than a fragile flower, unworthy of comparison.

It was not until the land was broken, the city walls fell, and she wielded a Red Tassel Spear to crush countless soldiers that Lu Lingxiao realized he had misjudged her.

She was not a delicate flower confined within the depths of the mansion; she was the fiercest west wind of Yumen Pass.

This news was so shocking that everyone stood frozen in place, forgetting even to breathe.


Meng Qianqian looked up, staring blankly at him, at the familiar face that appeared in her dreams countless times.


Gone was the youthful greenness, replaced by the sediment of years.


The wrinkles carved by the blade at the corners of his eyes gave him a more profound look.


Meng Qianqian's throat choked suddenly.


Countless memories surged into her heart, countless grievances flooded her mind, endless longing turned into tears glistening at the corners of her eyes.


When the "Daddy" she called countless times in her memory was finally answered, Meng Qianqian cried like a child.


Shang Jue gently patted the back of her head, pulling her into his warm and broad embrace.


"It's Little Nine who's late... Little Nine should have found Daddy's whereabouts earlier..."
