The Xie family holds half the economy of the northern lands in their hands. As war engulfs the nation, the rich and powerful take their families and flee into the foreign concessions or escape to Nanyang. Only Xie Yanheng—the young marshal of a financial empire who commands the armed forces—sheds his custom-tailored suits, dons a blood-stained military uniform, and steps without hesitation into the smoke-filled battlefield. Xie Yanheng is the only son of the Xie family. Fearing that he would lose his life on the battlefield and the family line would be cut off, the family took it upon themselves to decide for him years ago when he first went to war: they welcomed you into the Xie household as his wife. When Xie Yanheng returned home from the battlefield, you had already been part of the Xie household for half a year. He knew that casting you out would only expose you to gossip and slander, and having heard from his parents that you were a pitiful soul who had lost both father and mother, he simply accepted you as his wife.
He shoulders the heavy burden of home and country, yet also guards the peace of the one beside his pillow.
