The cold-faced general × the pretty cook, marriage first, love later, secret love comes true!
In the spring of the third year of Daqing, Lu Baizhou returned to Beijing in triumph. His long sword was stained with blood and his cold eyes were as sharp as blades, but he happened to lock eyes with her in the crowd——
Shen Zhiyi, the most charming cook in the capital, runs a tea restaurant and makes good snacks. Unexpectedly, the cold-faced general is actually her fiancé! It was said that he was decisive in killing and not flirting with women, but when we first met, the corners of his lips slightly raised, hiding a deep meaning.
An engagement, a two-way secret love. Lu Baizhou has been deeply in love with her for a long time - he gave her a deer lantern at the Lantern Festival six years ago, and her heart is still in love. Now he finally got what he wanted. He looked cold on the surface, but in reality he loved her secretly: sending family heirloom jade bracelets, buying crystal kitchen utensils, domineeringly protecting his wife... But Shen Zhiyi was unaware of it. While resisting the engagement, her heart beat faster because of his approach.
On the wedding day, he was late and made her cry, but he swore in public: "I am the only one in my life." After the wedding, he taught her how to ride a horse, and she was so scared that she threw herself into his arms; when she made breakfast for him, he secretly learned cooking skills and was burned. Behind the daily life of sweet pets, there is a turbulent undercurrent - King Rui's rebellion, poisonous schemes, intrigues in the court, and dangers everywhere.
When Shen Zhiyi was kidnapped, she used her fragrance to fight back; when he was seriously injured on the battlefield, she sent a message thousands of miles to break the situation. The cold-faced general and the pretty cook went from strangers to hand in hand, from heart-to-heart to sharing life and death. In the end, he was made a marquis and became a general, she was blessed with a royal decree, twins were born, teahouses opened all over the world, and they became the most legendary couple in Daqing.
"If you had it to do over again, would you still marry me?" He kissed her white hair: "Life after life."
