With both parents deceased, Yu Tingwan lived under others' roofs, diligently working from dawn till dusk. Her maternal aunt was cruel, intending to sell her to a lecherous gentryman well past seventy.
Yu Tingwan decided to give up! She wasn't going to serve them anymore! Rather than having her marriage manipulated, she might as well take charge herself. On the way back from a failed blind date, she encountered the Wei family's young master, covered in injuries and being carried by a crowd.
Yu Tingwan felt an inexplicable dizziness, and before her eyes, a flash of red and an impossible scene appeared. Gongs and drums rattled, the Wei family's young master, dressed in wedding attire, looked sullen and dejected as his mother pushed him into the bridal chamber. Who knew which girl was so unlucky as to marry him! Yu Tingwan then saw the face of the bride, struggling on the bed. It was... herself!!!
General Wei Zhao was proud, noble, and distinguished, with illustrious military achievements. After seeing through the colossal lie that had manipulated him for over a decade, he felt utterly absurd and harbored a death wish. In a battle at the frontier, he plunged his cloud-piercing spear, which had slain countless enemies, into himself. But he did not die; he became the Wei family's young master in a remote village.
Wei Zhao's life had been dark and damp; he thought he would never see light. Until someone barged in. She fiercely grabbed his collar, stood on her tiptoes, and pecked him. "Don't be ungrateful, you should be secretly thrilled to marry me."
