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.

Consort Li listened to Eunuch Wang's report, her beautiful eyes flashing with anger: "What did you say? They were rescued by the Governor Mansion's people?"


Eunuch Wang said, "Not exactly rescued. Lady Lu and her maid accidentally fainted right at the gate of the Governor Mansion. The Imperial Guard was yelling and fighting on the Governor Mansion's territory. To anyone unaware, it might seem that Your Grace was trying to make a public spectacle! Wouldn't that just put Your Grace at odds with them?"


Consort Li tugged at her handkerchief in dissatisfaction: "A pack of fools!"


Lady Yan finally emerged from Meng Qianqian's room.


Even after a sleepless night, this famed courtesan of the Wanhua Tower—renowned for training countless beauties—remained impeccably made-up, exuding charm and allure with every gesture.
