The Wife Comes First: Qi Wei Shang (Novel) Vol. 2

Marshal Jing Shao marches toward the front lines of a brewing rebellion, determined to rewrite the tragic history of the Chen Empire. Armed with the harrowing foresight of a past life, he intends to dismantle the corruption that once cost him everything. Yet, he does not ride alone.

By his side is Mu Hanzhang, his devoted “gentleman wife,” who serves as a brilliant strategist beneath the guise of a quiet advisor. As the couple navigates the volatile dance of imperial politics and the brutal realities of war, their dynamic shifts from formal obligation to a profound, unshakable partnership. Jing Shao uses his second chance to secure his legacy and settle old scores, but it is Mu Hanzhang’s tactical intellect and steady presence that truly anchor him against the encroaching chaos.

Between the clash of steel on the battlefield and the quiet intimacy of the royal tent, the pair must outmaneuver hidden enemies who threaten the throne. Bound by shared secrets and a growing devotion, they find that in a world of treachery and shifting loyalties, their greatest weapon is the trust they place in one another.
