Cold Protagonist
Beauty’s Grave
Pei Qi traded cities for a beauty, a grand gesture that became a legendary romance. Unfortunately, I was not that beauty, nor was I Pei Qi; I didn’t even know him.
My husband was merely a soldier defending the city. Because he refused to surrender, he died in that war, though the city was ultimately held.
The following year, when Pei Qi traded cities for his beauty, I became that beauty’s Foot-washing Maid.
