Guide to Taming the Beautiful, Strong, and Miserable Ferocious Dog

Jiang Ci has been pampered in the palm of her hand since childhood, the enviable daughter of heaven.

On the eve of the fall of Liangzhou City, she is willing to enter the fray with her own body, marrying the Dongyang General who swept through the north and south—Ji Yang.

When Jiang Ci first arrived in Fengdu, the military advisor uttered 'a beauty misleads the country,' and Ji Yang nearly chopped her down.

It was only because her surname evoked his old humiliation.

Jiang Ci gritted her teeth and swallowed her grievances, deeming it for the greater good of the nation.

Yet he took advantage of it, pressing closer step by step.

One day, Ji Yang took everything her father had sent from Liangzhou and burned it all, disregarding her attempts to stop him.

"This is what your Jiang family owes me!"

"Compared to what the Jiang family once did to me, you should endure these things!"

No matter, she noted each one and would demand them all back in full.

Taming a dog, she had plenty of patience.

Ji Yang had been a hostage for three years, transforming from a glamorous young man into a decisive great governor.

Everyone thought he hated the old Xiliang Jiang clan, but in truth, he hated that boy he once was—imprisoned in the enemy camp, starving, and stripped of all dignity.

He married the enemy clan's daughter, Jiang Ci, into his mansion, believing that humiliating her would bury his unbearable past.

She was gentle to everyone, yet her gaze toward him was like a pool of dead water.

He had once tried to kill her in public and personally burned all her cherished mementos from her homeland, just to see her break down in tears.

But she never begged for mercy; even when he presented her with that resolute letter of divorce, she accepted it calmly, without a trace of reluctance.

After Jiang Ci left, Ji Yang felt as if his very bones had been extracted.

Later, the Ji Yang who never believed in gods or Buddhas climbed the three thousand steps and kowtowed before the Buddha.

He only wished for Jiang Ci to glance at him once more.
