Transmigrating into Shen Xiao, the wastrel heir of the Marquis of Yongding, I decide to keep slacking off until the end.
A terrible reputation? Just what I want!
A gambling den habit? That’s the joy of life!
But then an imperial decree arrives, insisting that I marry the famously timid County Princess of Pingning.
Fine by me. She’s just a decoration.
But as the red candles flicker and her veil comes off, my “timid” bride pins me to the wedding bed. A silver needle glints between her fingers.
“Husband, I hear you went to the Tianxiang Pavilion again the day before yesterday?”
Me: …This isn’t how it was supposed to go!
Later
The barbarian cavalry bears down on the border, and everyone in the capital lives in fear.
I, once a regular at the gambling den, don armor and take up my brush, painting the fate of the realm.
And my wife, who always “gently” reminds me with her silver needles, stands in blazing red armor, cracking her whip before the assembled armies:
“My husband is here. Which of you barbarians dares come forward?”
We exchange a smile. Behind us stretches a vast and beautiful land, like a scene from a poem.
The writing is very good. The writing style is very good. Good luck to the author.
Well written, I love reading it, hahahaha
