Meng Qianqian, at the prime of her youth, married into the Lu family to serve as a celebratory bride for the old matriarch. On her wedding night, urgent news arrived from the border—her husband was ordered to go to war. Half a year later, he died under the swords of the Beiliang army. Meng Qianqian became a widow guarding the gate. Five years later, her supposedly deceased husband returned, accompanied by a refined and elegant mute woman. Lu Lingxiao claimed that Wan'er was a descendant of loyal martyrs, unlike Meng Qianqian, a merchant woman tainted by money; Wan'er was a woman of true integrity. Lu Lingxiao further stated that Wan'er was an eagle soaring in the sky, while Meng Qianqian was merely a delicate flower, not even a match for Wan'er. Until the mountains and rivers crumbled and the city walls collapsed, Meng Qianqian, with her red tassel spear, fought through thousands of troops and horses. Only then did Lu Lingxiao realize his mistake. She was not a delicate flower of the inner house; she was the fiercest west wind of the Jade Gate Pass.
