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.

Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot

Lu Yuan straightened up and walked toward the carriage with a smile. "Foster Father."


The person inside the carriage responded with a faint "Hmm," and the coachman immediately placed a footstool. Lu Yuan stepped onto the stool and boarded the carriage.


Dressed in a deep black robe, with a dragon-like imposing visage and streaks of white in his hair and beard, Prime Minister Xun sat on a long bench with his eyes closed, resting. Beside him was Xun Yu, the Prime Minister's only biological son, who was one year older than Lu Yuan.


Xun Yu, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, exuded elegance and charisma. Seeing Lu Yuan, he smiled warmly and said, "Ayuan, long time no see. I trust you've been well."


Xun Yu lifted the side curtain and glanced diagonally forward. "From now on, you might have to call me Third Brother instead. Father has recently adopted a new foster son. He's not much of a talker. I'll introduce you to him some other day."
