[Sweet romance + married life + plot-driven angst]
A delicate young lady who’s bold on the attack but easily flustered × a tender, iron-faced general.
By imperial decree, Fang Lanshu, the spoiled beauty famous throughout the Fang household, was betrothed to Jiang Mingzhao, the renowned general of Cangxia.
Fang Lanshu had to appear perfectly calm about the decree, in a way that fooled everyone, though she had already planned her escape route.
On their wedding night, Jiang Mingzhao was humble and courteous, yet left the beautiful Fang Lanshu alone in their bridal chamber. After Jiang Mingzhao returned to the capital, Fang Lanshu turned around and set out to win him over. But just as she tried to charm him, she hit a wall. Was he trying to put her in her place?
If she couldn’t take charge at home, she’d throw her weight around outside instead.
Servant: General, Madam has...
Jiang Mingzhao, handling official business in a perfectly level tone: What is it? Did Madam ruin Madam Zhao’s plans, steal the spotlight at the flower-viewing party, or...?
Servant: Madam got into a fight with Madam Zhang, and Madam won.
Jiang Mingzhao: ...Take me to her.
