[Marriage Before Love] [Sweet Romance] [Love Grows Over Time] [Wild Reversals] [The General Falls Hard]

By imperial decree, General Ye Xiaosheng is ordered to marry Jiang Qiuching, the capital's famous delicate beauty.

Before the wedding, Jiang Qiuching's father grabs Ye Xiaosheng's hand and weeps bitterly.

He says his daughter is delicate and frail, can't even hurt a chicken, and is softhearted and timid above all. Ye must make sure to protect her.

Ye Xiaosheng agrees.

Until one night, he happens upon his delicate, frail wife climbing over the wall into the residence, with bloodstains on her clothes.

At the same time, a corpse hangs at the city gate, its eyes gouged out, blood streaming from its sockets all the way down to the muddy ground. It is a grisly sight.

Ye Xiaosheng is stunned: "Father-in-law, are you sure you understand what 'frail' means?"

Much later, when his colleagues complain over drinks about their shrewish wives and how miserable they are,

Ye Xiaosheng says with pride and sympathy, "My wife is the most gentle and considerate woman there is. Jealous?"
