Lu Xiaotan gets a disastrous start after she transmigrates: her fiancé, Xiao Yun, points a knife at her forehead and orders her thrown to the beggars.
The original owner of the body eloped with her lover and got herself killed, leaving Lu Xiaotan to face a deadly showdown:
The irritable general raises his blade and says viciously, “You wanton woman, believe me when I say I’ll slit your throat!”
After nearly losing her life, she pretends to faint. When she wakes up, she gains the ability to hear Xiao Yun’s thoughts:
[Ugh, you harlot! You’re practically drooling!!!]
[I’m a man you’ll never get in this lifetime. Keep pining for me!!!]
[Harlot! You dared to elope? Maybe I should chop Zhang Zhixing’s corpse to vent my anger first?!!!]
[You dare refuse me? I’ll tie you up and make you marry me tonight!]
Lu Xiaotan gets it: this isn’t an irritable general at all. He’s a tsundere with a soft heart, a lovesick fool who’s been brainwashing himself!
She presses a hand to her heart and looks tearfully at him. “General, I dream of you riding toward me, looking so handsome.”
Xiao Yun’s ears turn red. “Have some shame!”
[She called me handsome! She’s so in love with me!]
Later, the general’s residence takes a sudden turn:
When her wicked stepmother accuses her of sleeping around, Xiao Yun draws his sword with a cold laugh. “I’m going to cut down that poisonous gossip!”
When her green-tea stepsister pretends to fall into the water, Xiao Yun reaches in and pulls out the love letters she’s been hiding. “You want to elope with a beggar? This general will make your wish come true, you idiot!”
Lu Xiaotan munches on snacks and watches the show, when a man’s arm suddenly wraps around her waist.
Xiao Yun presses against the back of her neck and grits his teeth. “You’re done using me and now you want to run? Do I look like some cheap, disposable item to you?!!!”
[A sharp-tongued, tsundere general (cold on the outside, squealing like a marmot on the inside) x a drama queen who transmigrated (can read minds and is sweet on the outside, dark on the inside), an opposites-attract couple]
