Also known as: “Mutual Devotion: The General Falls for Her Again and Again” [Not a transmigration or reborn story / radiant, clear-eyed Western Regions princess x gentle, refined, obsessive general / a touch of marriage-first, love-later / they communicate, no misunderstandings]
Crossing the sands to love you
She came from the Western Regions, carrying fierce passion and unbending pride.
She was the youngest princess of Chile. She attended court with her father at twelve, went to battle at fifteen, and stood on her own at eighteen. She was her father Khan’s most cherished little wolf.
He was the easiestgoing general in the capital. His guards could come and go without announcing themselves, and his colleagues teased him for not acting like a general. He would only smile. No one knew that it wasn’t easygoingness at all.
…
At a banquet, someone taunted her for having no children and urged her to find the general a concubine.
She set down her teacup and smiled. “You’re quite right, Madam. But where I come from, when the principal wife has no children, the general is the first one investigated.”
The room fell silent.
The Empress Dowager burst out laughing.
Later, someone accused her of “colluding with a foreign power.”
The usually gentle man produced a ledger, his voice cool and heavy with authority:
“The princess is my wife. If anyone wants to harm my wife, I have to ask one thing: on what grounds?”
…
She was the sun that never set over the grasslands, while he selfishly hoped that all her unique warmth and radiance would shine on him alone.
P.S. This is a work of fiction set in an imaginary world and has nothing to do with history. The heroine is not a princess sent off in a political marriage after her country’s defeat (please take note). Don’t think too hard about their ages, dear readers. Just enjoy the show.
