A Life Beyond His Favor

Synopsis

I was transported into an ancient dynasty that had never existed in history. How was someone as ordinary as I was—in both talent and ability—to survive in a world that devoured the weak? That question had always hung over me. Fortunately, my father was a great general at court, my mother his lawful wife, and I their legitimate daughter. I grew up with the heir to the Marquis of Zhenbei. We were childhood sweethearts, the envy of those around us, and deeply in love. Seven years into our marriage, we have a son named Dalang, now six years old. I thought the rest of our lives would pass peacefully, without upheaval. Then my husband asked, for the third time, to take a concubine. The first two times, I refused outright.
