Orphaned and abandoned by her betrothed, Fan Changyu's world was crumbling. With greedy relatives circling her inheritance like vultures, she had only one card left to play: zhaozhui. She recruited a broken, destitute stranger she once saved to be her husband in name only-a handsome face to help her secure her home and protect her young sister. The deal was simple: a sham marriage for a place to heal. But when the imperial army conscripts him, the man she intended to let go vanishes into the smoke of war. Years later, she finds him again in a blood-soaked medic's tent. Seeing the man she once sheltered in tatters, Fan Changyu makes a new vow: "Forget the war. Come home-I'll raise the pigs, and I'll take care of you."
