[Unhinged General x Cool, aloof beauty]
Helian Jue, the Grand General of the Pacifying Army, holds immense power at court and is decisive and ruthless. The three armies tremble at the name of “Helian the Grim Reaper.”
Two years ago, his engagement was called off. Everyone thought the proud General Helian had long since forgotten his former fiancée.
Until Yin Mengyan, the woman herself, returned to the capital.
Her friends assumed that, given Helian Jue's arrogance, he would meet the woman who had humiliated him with icy disdain and endless insults.
Who could have guessed that he had already laid a meticulous trap?
When she went to the Listening Rain Pavilion for a meal, he had a special “Snow-Capped Tangerine Dew,” created just for her, served to her.
She wanted to return an article of clothing and call it even. But overnight, he issued four “military orders”: first a formal handover of official duties, then an overbearing demand to meet, and finally a private phrase from their past that only the two of them understood. He pressed her at every turn, leaving her nowhere to retreat.
Most astonishing of all was the day she went to the General's Manor as promised.
Helian the Grim Reaper, who never let private matters interfere with public duty, postponed an urgent military council concerning the lives of thirty thousand soldiers on the border, then personally opened the imposing front gate that even the Duke of State could not enter.
Their friend Cheng Ziyan stared in disbelief. “I thought you'd never set foot in the Listening Rain Pavilion again, and now you're telling me the place belongs to you? What on earth is wrong with you?”
His trusted deputy general, Zou Zhen, was struck dumb on the spot. “It's over. The whole manor's about to turn upside down!”
Helian Jue paid no heed to the commotion and forcefully “invited” her back into his world.
The entire capital waits to see how the seemingly fragile Miss Yin will be won over, never realizing that in this game, the one who went mad first may have already lost completely.
