Pian Fangfang

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

Meng Qianqian curled her lips slightly. "Prime Minister Xun himself may be a man without weaknesses, but who told him to have such a foolish son who keeps causing trouble? I already said your chances of winning are great. You should believe it now, right?"


Meng Qianqian: Fine, fine, I know you're stubborn.


Lu Yuan said, "He waged war in the Western Regions for seven years, likely to build up his forces."


The court needs constant recruitment of soldiers for war, but the numbers of recruits and the casualties of martyrs can always be falsified.


Ultimately, where those recruited troops actually went—how would the court know?


"Plotting against the Chu Family and killing the Chu Grand Marshal were also meant to divert the court's attention."


It directed more focus to the war with Beiliang, thereby neglecting the Western Regions.


Meng Qianqian agreed with Lu Yuan's speculation. "This game of chess is truly on a grand scale."
