She Betrayed Him 100 Times

Lu Yuan owed a debt to the Lord of the city, and to repay it he swore an oath: he would endure one hundred offenses from the lord's daughter, Lin Qingxue, without answering back. Then the wasteland war took him away for three years. He came home covered in poison marks from the fighting, and Qingxue looked at him with disgust, stripped him of his military command, and drove a blade through his heart. That was the hundredth time. Lu Yuan let his old power come back into him, left a letter dissolving the engagement on the table, and walked out of the city. Qingxue put her trust in Gu Yunfan, who had presented himself as a capable replacement and was neither capable nor honest. The defense line he built came apart. The zombie horde poured through the breach and the king of them led the slaughter through the streets. With the city dying behind her, Lu Yuan woke the Dawn Steel flying warship that had been sitting dormant, and took it against the zombie king. Shen Jingyan, who had never once doubted him through any of it, stood with him on the deck.
