Her Grace Still Shines in Clear Eyes

Shen Qingtang, young mistress of the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, sent her husband Gu Zhaoyuan to fight the Xiongnu in the northwest just half a month after their marriage. For five years, she kept a trunk of unsent winter clothes, a safety amulet on her mother-in-law’s bedside, and an unbloomed crabapple tree in the yard—turning from a 16-year-old girl into the mansion’s laughingstock for “waiting like a fool.” Until that day, a carriage with the northwest army flag crashed through the gate: Xiao Wanwan, a stranger in a moon-white dress, clutched Gu Zhaoyuan’s personal silver knife (the “protective blade” he risked his life to steal from the Xiongnu, vowing to “guard Qingtang forever”), and sneered, “The general married me in the northwest. He sent me to take you as his second wife.” But the sleeping boy in her arms and the wolf-tooth pendant peeking from her collar (Gu Zhaoyuan’s promised “birth gift” for their future child) made Shen’s fingers shake. She followed Xiao north secretly, only to find Gu covered in blood under Jiayuguan Pass—clutching their engagement jade hairpin, he shouted, “Qingtang, run!” It turned out Xiao was a Xiongnu spy. The “marriage” was just a trap Gu set to lure enemies away from her, and he had long prepared to trade his life for her safety.
