The Day the General I Had Loved for Three Years Returned in Triumph, I Married Someone Else

When I received the letter my mother had sent me, I had just taken thirty strokes of the military cane from Gu Chen.

I lay face down on the bed, in so much pain I could barely make out the words on the page.

My mother had issued a strict order in her letter:

If I couldn't bring Gu Chen home to discuss our marriage within half a month,

I would have to marry the man they had chosen for me.

With trembling hands, I tried to put the letter away, but just then the tent flap was lifted.

Gu Chen's sharp eyes caught the words "get married" on the letter. His brows furrowed slightly.

"Get married? I haven't made a name for myself yet. How can I marry you? Are you really that eager?"
