Disguised as a Man, I Teased the Lovesick General Until He Squealed

War has come. Xiaolang disguises herself as a man and takes her father’s place in the army, where she meets Mu Qingchen, a young general of the Hongmeng Iron Cavalry. Young and already high-ranking, Mu Qingchen is cold-blooded, ruthless, a prolific killer, and notorious far and wide. He suspects Xiaolang of being an enemy spy and makes trouble for her whenever they meet.

They trade wits and blows for months, and Xiaolang flirts without realizing it.

Xiaolang teases him: “Word in the capital is that the young general dislikes women and has even adopted young boys at his estate.”

Mu Qingchen’s eyes darken, hiding a trace of pain. “That’s just gossip. I’m waiting for someone.”

“Who?”

“My childhood sweetheart.”

Only later does Xiaolang learn that the person he has been waiting for is her.

A young man rides in on a bamboo horse, circling the bed to play with his childhood sweetheart.
