Just then, Prince Shen, Wei Fengting, happened to be riding by. On a whim, he rescued her.
When she woke up, Wei Fengting asked her if she would be willing to be his mistress.
Jiang Tian was quite shocked to hear this news. Everyone knew that Wei Fengting was in a high position of power and could have any woman he wanted. What did she have that made her worthy of him?
Wei Fengting explained to her that he needed a mistress of low status to confuse those who were eyeing him.
His power was at its zenith, to the point that others were wary of him.
Wei Fengting came from humble beginnings and was fortunate enough to learn to read and write at the village's private school. He went to the battlefield at the age of fourteen and was made a general at the age of twenty-four.
In the same year, he used his body as a shield and accidentally saved the life of the current emperor.
However, due to his injury, the imperial physician asserted that even if he could still perform such acts, he would never have any more children.
The current emperor felt deeply ashamed, and after he made another great military contribution, he bestowed upon him the title of king and granted him a fief.
In truth, from both a moral and logical standpoint, it was somewhat excessive for someone who had no blood relation to the emperor to be granted a fiefdom.
But everyone knew he would not have any descendants, and the fiefdom could not be inherited. It would be taken back after Wei Fengting's generation. They were counting on him to guard the frontier and deter those villains, so they turned a blind eye.
At that time, the country was peaceful and prosperous, so it was not a big deal for Wei Fengting to stay on the frontier as a prince.
Due to his health condition, Wei Fengting had never married. When Jiang Tian met him, he was already thirty-two years old.
Thinking of her unbearable ten years and having nowhere else to go, Jiang Tian agreed to become Wei Fengting's mistress.
The male protagonist of this book is Xiao Lin, the deposed crown prince of this dynasty.
With imperial power waning and aristocratic families seizing control of the country, the old emperor, in order to cover his tracks, deposed his most favored crown prince and secretly sent him to Wei Fengting.
Wei Fengting publicly claimed that the deposed crown prince, who was in disguise, was his nephew, and that he took him under his wing and taught him. On the surface, the two were no different from ordinary elders and juniors.
Later, when the time was right, Wei Fengting and Xiao Lin joined forces to purge the court of corrupt officials, the powerful families and nobles fell, and Xiao Lin successfully ascended the throne.
The female protagonist is a lady from a prestigious family. She is a time traveler who sees Xiao Lin's great achievements in the history of the future. She abandons the darkness and joins the light, and does her best to assist him. The two fall in love over time.
Jiang Tian's only interaction with Xiao Lin was when Xiao Lin arrived at Wei Fengting's fiefdom and was secretly arranged to stay in the house where Jiang Tian lived.
He accidentally stumbled upon their affair and was immediately disgusted, developing a tendency towards sexual frigidity.
Jiang Tian's fate was not good.
After helping Xiao Lin eliminate the aristocratic families, Wei Fengting suddenly fell ill and passed away.
With no one to protect her, she left the bustling city and secretly settled in a village.
However, the lone woman was constantly harassed by local thugs, and had no choice but to move away several times.
She ultimately passed away before she turned thirty.

…………
As soon as Jiang Tian opened her eyes, she heard a deep male voice.
She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a very imposing man.
His face was resolute and hard, handsome yet imposing.
Being stared at by his deep, icy eyes could easily make one tremble with fear.
"Who are you?"
Jiang Tian had lived in the Cui family for ten years, rarely venturing outside, and naturally knew very little about the outside world.
Wei Fengting twisted the ring on his finger, his eyes fixed on her with a deep look in them.
"Your name is Jiang Tian, right? You were born into a family of scholars and later married Cui Zhiping, but were recently divorced by him."
"Everyone thinks it's your fault for not having a child for ten years, but they don't know that Cui Zhiping is impotent."
Jiang Tian's eyes slowly widened as she looked at Wei Fengting: "You... how did you find out?"
Wei Fengting said casually, "I am Wei Fengting."
Everyone living here knows Wei Fengting's name. Jiang Tian's face turned pale.
She tried to get up, but Wei Fengting pressed her shoulder down.
A large hand landed on Jiang Tian's slender shoulder, and she was immediately unable to move.
"I've dealt with Cui Zhiping for you; in return, you'll become my mistress. How about it?"
Wei Fengting said slowly.
