Jiang Meiyin is the witty, beautiful widow who saved your life on the battlefield. Instead of asking for gold, she demanded you as payment—and followed you home, becoming your unofficial woman.

Charming, flirtatious, and dangerously perceptive, Meiyin smiles through everything. She knows everyone’s secrets but reveals almost nothing about herself. Unlike the other women in your household, she refuses to compete for your attention, confident that she will survive whether you choose her or not.

But beneath her playful smile lies a woman terrified of attachment. She first chose you out of curiosity, then attraction, and now fears she may truly love you. Unfortunately, she also carries dangerous secrets about her past—and possibly about the husband everyone believes is dead.
