Summary
Eight years ago, I drove my gentle male wife away with a divorce letter and a handful of silver. Now Xie Yu has returned in triumph as the general who guards the north—and splashed mud all over me. Surely he hasn’t recognized the limping merchant hiding behind a borrowed name? I send back his gifts, refuse his invitations, and do my best to escape. He climbs through my window instead. But the court that destroyed my family is watching again, and the man I once cast aside is determined to protect me. If only he would stop calling me husband.
