Read with caution: Bad Ending [1V1 + rugged hero + sweet romance + secret identity]. A cool beauty who appears refined and proper but longs for freedom inside × a strong, pure-hearted young general
By imperial decree, Meng Xizhu, known as the most beautiful woman in the capital, was ordered to marry the young general Liang Jing.
Thinking she would be left alone in an empty marriage after marrying a rough soldier with a house full of concubines, Meng Xizhu felt quietly heartbroken.
Frequent household infighting and her mother's strict surveillance had taught Meng Xizhu to read people’s expressions and burst into tears at a moment’s notice.
She went out to clear her head, only to fall in love with a humble guard and become so besotted she even wanted to elope with him.
After they were discovered, she was forced to marry.
On their wedding night, she was about to take her own life when she discovered that the so-called humble guard was actually the legendary young general.
He had known her identity all along, yet had treated her like a monkey to amuse himself.
In an instant, Meng Xizhu was overcome with shame. Her once-bold declarations of love now felt like swords piercing her heart. After a twist in the imperial decree, the two met their end together.
