General Demotes My Wife to Concubine, Then Panics After Imperial Decree

Lin Zheyao, the descendant of a loyal general, was married by the late emperor to General Lu Jingshen, stationed in the remote frontier. On their wedding night, Lu publicly claimed he already had a wife and forced her to become his concubine. Lin tore off her veil, removed her phoenix crown, and stormed the palace gates to demand the marriage be called off. Someone at the gate falsely claimed to deliver an imperial edict to stop her, but the Empress recognized the deception, allowing her to see the Emperor. This encounter revealed a case from ten years ago! In a fire at the western courtyard, an old seal from the Northern Border and accounts of embezzlement were found, pointing to the Lin family army being forced to die for treason rather than defeat. The head of the blacksmith shop was silenced, and blood letters were still fresh on the wall. Deep in the Black Stone Valley, behind a broken blade, stands a man.
