General, Mind Your Manners. The Young Lady Only Wants to Marry a Scholar

[Beautiful, clear-eyed cousin × domineering, scheming general] [Strong heroine and hero · Both devoted · Forced marriage · The hero’s long road to winning her back] [Business genius heroine, no romantic tunnel vision] Xu Yunlou fled in a panic with a small bundle on her back, cursing furiously to herself: “Lu Wang is a scoundrel! He acts proper and courteous, but behind my back he keeps sabotaging my good marriage prospects!” “I only stayed at his home for a few days, and he already wants to take me as a concubine? Pah!” Lu Wang cornered her at the Ten-Mile Pavilion outside the capital, his eyes bloodshot. “Yun’er, stop avoiding me. I’m going crazy! I’ll marry you as my wife. No, I... I’ll be your concubine! Will you accept me?” A bystander who loved gossip hurried back to the capital to spread the news. #Capital Bulletin! After three escapes and three pursuits, the domineering General Lu Wang has dropped his tough act and is now weeping and begging the delicate Yangzhou beauty Xu Yunlou for her affection outside the city. Has he been possessed?# The crowds rushed to the Ten-Mile Pavilion to see for themselves. The emperor, his close friend, flew into a rage. “Lu Wang, you ridiculous fool! Go guard the frontier for two years and think about what you’ve done!” Lu Wang’s mother was devastated. “I told you not to let that fox spirit into our home. And now look, my Wang’er has gone mad! My poor son...” The second male lead, Hua Zhuojun, looked utterly aggrieved. “Xiaolou, you went behind my back and found another dog? Boo-hoo...” The noble ladies flocked over, crying, “Goddess Lou, please teach us how to tame men! We’ll make offerings every year to show our gratitude!” The business tycoons wailed and begged, “Grandmaster, don’t go! Didn’t you say you’d write The Thirty-Six Stratagems of Business, a book to be remembered for generations? We’re still waiting to study your masterpiece!”
