I Only Had a Child in Secret. Why Is the General So Angry?

[Pure historical romance + reunion after years apart + scheming general vs. delicate yet resilient orphan girl + adorable child]

Six years ago, after her father died, Tao Ran was left alone and helpless, tormented by the village’s young hooligans. To find protection, she used her beauty to approach Lou Zui, a man whose name alone made people shudder.

Tao Ran had bright, expressive eyes and a soft, graceful figure. She was already renowned for her beauty throughout the surrounding villages, and after her father’s death, countless men coveted her.

A beautiful woman can bring disaster. Lou Zui, usually ruthless and cold, wanted no part of this trouble. Yet in the end, he fell into the tender haven she’d carefully created and married her in a dilapidated house.

His wife was delicate and lovely, relying on him for everything. Countless times, he would wake in the middle of the night and see Tao Ran sleeping sweetly in his arms, wondering how she could possibly survive without him...

Who could have guessed that only two months after their wedding, while he was still recovering from a serious injury, his seemingly frail wife would leave him a divorce letter and disappear?

He, Lou Zui, had been played by a woman as small as a kitten.

Fine...

Clutching the divorce letter, his eyes bloodshot and his face dark with fury,

he meets her again six years later on the frontier. She’s now a clothing shop owner struggling to make a living in a chaotic age, while he has risen to become a famed general.

One day, while taking his measurements for a custom outfit, she accidentally falls into his arms. He teases her, “What, trying to seduce me the same way again?”

But Tao Ran clearly sees the bitterness and resentment in his eyes...
