The General's Substitute Bride

A substitute bride, carried into General's Manor, her husband left her with 'Just stay alive.' She investigated Concubine's deficit, cared for stepchildren, saved Old Madam. Framed for poisoning, she exposed truth, leading to Vance family's execution. The God of War General went from 'Mind your own business' to 'You have the final say,' then asked, 'Will you spend your life with me?' Empress Dowager bestowed her 'Lady Protector of the Nation' title. She became someone no one could reach.
