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

After paying respects to the Supreme Emperor, Meng Qianqian headed to Changchun Palace to visit Zhou Nanyan.


Zhou Nanyan was Zong Zhengxi's first concubine, elevated to the position of Imperial Concubine, and the most distinguished among the four consorts.


Zong Zhengxi's harem only consisted of two concubines—the Empress and the Imperial Concubine.


Upon seeing Meng Qianqian, Zhou Nanyan dashed out excitedly.


Zhou Nanyan pulled Meng Qianqian's hand and addressed the palace maids and eunuchs, "You may leave. I'll chat with Meng Sister for a while."


The group retreated to the outside of the hall.


The two of them sat down on the Imperial Concubine's Couch.


Meng Qianqian tucked the strands of her hair behind her ear and softly asked, "How has it been these past few days? Are you settling in well?"


Zhou Nanyan sighed, "The accommodations are impeccable, but it's just so dull."
