In a moment of despair and defiance, she turns instead to marry his elder brother, Pei Muy e—the fearsome “God of War” of the northern frontier. What begins as an impulsive union slowly deepens into true partnership, as Weiyang uncovers her husband’s long-buried devotion and gentle protection. But as Changfeng’s regret grows dangerous, the Dowager Madam schemes from within, and political conspiracies loom over the court, their marriage is thrust into shadows of betrayal, peril, and a forgotten bond from years past. ✨ Characters Cheng Weiyang A neglected daughter of the Cheng household, outwardly meek but inwardly resilient. Betrayed on the eve of her marriage, she boldly chooses a new path with Pei Muye. Gifted with financial acumen passed down from her mother, she proves herself capable of managing the household and, through crisis, reveals a sharp mind and ruthless determination. Ultimately, she claims both love and stability on her own terms. Pei Muye The Pei family’s eldest son, renowned as the “God of War” who guards the northern frontier. Cold and formidable in battle, yet strikingly tender toward Weiyang. His affection for her traces back to a kindness she once showed in youth, a memory he never forgot. In marriage, he becomes her unshakable protector and most reliable ally. Pei Changfeng The younger son, frivolous and arrogant, who dismisses Weiyang only to regret it when she weds his brother. Obsessed with winning her back, he repeatedly makes reckless choices, entangling himself in court intrigue. His fixation ultimately leads to his downfall. Madam Pei (Dowager) Mother of Changfeng and stepmother to Muye, narrow-minded and greedy. Resentful of Weiyang’s control over household affairs, she schemes in secret, even resorting to hiring assassins. Her relentless plotting fuels much of the family’s internal strife—until it consumes her in the end. 🔔 Don't forget to subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss a story! 🎧 Follow us for more: Full playlists by novel Special short stories and extras Behind-the-scenes on translating ancient tales 💬 Tell us your favorite character or moment in the comments below! #MoonlitStories #Audiobook #ChineseRomance #HistoricalRomance #AncientChina #LoveStories #TranslatedNovels
