'Don't marry the Prince of Chen — marry me.' 'I want armies and power. Do you have them?'

Xu Sanshao, a minor official's illegitimate daughter, was praised across the capital for her match: the heir of a Minister's house, gentle and doomed by illness. When the arrangement shatters, an upstart warlord with mud on his boots makes a colder proposal. A slow-burn revenge-and-growth epic of two schemers who treat marriage as an alliance and then break the terms. 1v1, HE.
