Come to me, and you will be sheltered from every storm and hurricane that might come our way." - - - - - Like every pitiful protagonist, Xueyue's life was riddled with unfortunate events. An aloof birth mother? Check. A crazy father? Check. An older sister with a superior complex?Double-check! Through a twist of unfortunate events, Xueyue was sentenced to death by beating. And no, she did not reincarnate to a better life. Offered the opportunity to have a new identity, Xueyue eventually found herself colliding paths with a mischievous and fearsome, but devilishly handsome Commander who'd stop at nothing to acquire her heart. Will he succeed in doing so? Sly. Vicious. Ruthless. The very whisper of his name was enough for soldiers to abandon their weapon and armor in the battlefield. Yet, this merciless Commander found himself on wits-end with a sharp-tongued woman that turned his entire world into beautiful chaos.

For the remainder of the day, Xueyue patiently and quietly watched the tournaments unfold. She clapped at the proper time, smiled when needed to, and pretended to be engrossed at whatever she was watching. She was the perfect example of an audience member, but truthfully, she couldn't wait for it to all end.
She was well aware that there were eyes that never left her side, people heavily watching her, but looking away when she surveyed her surroundings. Bai Tianai hadn't stopped staring, which meant she knew something.
Xueyue doubted the legitimacy of Ning Huabing's allegiance. After all, it was just a vow through words. Just like every empty promise. Nonetheless, Ning Huabing would be a useful ally—if she was truly loyal.
When lunch was served and the sky became a brilliant painting of red, orange, yellow, and dusk, the first day of the tournament came to a closure. There were six more days left and afterwards they would return to the Capital.
