The Female General Turns Out to Be Surprisingly Delicate and Soft

[Marriage before love + female general + comic antics + faked death + winning back his wife + rock-solid values]

“Minister Bai, all the men of the Ye family are dead. General Ye's only condition is that you marry her. I want you to do as she wishes and marry her, then work with me from within. Only then can you avenge your Bai family.”

Bai Cen went through with the very thing he despised most. He buried his feelings for the childhood sweetheart he had loved for years and married Ye Zhiyang.

“I never thought I would one day carry out my revenge through such a despicable scheme.”

Later, Ye Zhiyang died on the battlefield, and the Bai family fell. Both were Bai Cen's doing.

After Ye Zhiyang's death, he received a letter she had sent from the battlefield: “...By my reckoning, deep winter must have long since arrived, while spring flowers may already be blooming in the capital. I hope that when the flowers bloom next year, I can lean with you by the western window... With Zhiyang away from home, I don't know what the weather is like in the capital. I only hope you'll dress warmly when the days turn cold...”

This is Bai Cen's tragic-love perspective.

But General Ye sees things differently.

“That ungrateful little emperor! I'm done guarding this border for him! Chuncha, how about we use this campaign to make a run for it?”

“Go on ahead, General. I'll go back to the residence and get your clothes!”

And so, led by our General Ye, the whole crowd made a grand escape...

The later change of dynasties and return to court are stories for another time.

Everyone is a comedian except the male lead, Bai Cen! A hilarious, lighthearted read.
