Seven Seas provides the following synopsis for Vol. 2:
PAINFUL PARTINGS AND HIDDEN DANGERS
Fu Shen and Yan Xiaohan have barely savored their first taste of wedded bliss before Yan Xiaohan is sent on a mission south, leaving Fu Shen alone in the capital. When a sudden storm drives Yan Xiaohan’s party into the shelter of a mysterious temple, he is thrust into unexpected peril, with Fu Shen too far away to help.
Meanwhile, Fu Shen’s absence from the northern battlefields has given the Zhou Empire’s enemies a tempting opportunity. Once again facing the prospect of war, Fu Shen must decide if he is willing to bleed for an emperor that has repeatedly repaid his sacrifice with suspicion.
As political schemes and foreign powers threaten to fracture the nation, Fu Shen and Yan Xiaohan remain separated. With an empire’s width between them, will the newlyweds ever come together again?

Golden Terrace
黄金台
[Synopsis Provided by Seven Seas Entertainment:]
Fu Shen, the renowned general of the Northern Yan Army, has long served as Great Zhou’s shield against foreign enemies. When he suffers grievous injuries during an ambush, his days of glory come to an abrupt end. The emperor, long wary of his general’s influence, seizes the opportunity to recall him to the capital.
Yan Xiaohan, the imperial inspector of the Feilong Guard, is a court flatterer as famous for his ruthlessness as his bitter feud with Fu Shen. So when the emperor grants the pair a marriage intended to strip Fu Shen of his power and bind him to the emperor’s lackey, the court braces for catastrophe. Yet there is more to Fu Shen and Yan Xiaohan’s animosity than meets the eye—a secret history known to them alone.
As the two rivals confront the idea of their forced union, conspiracies swirl beneath the surface. Someone orchestrated the attack on Fu Shen—and their game is far from over.
