I Tricked a General into Becoming My Husband

I have always believed that a bond of sworn friendship need not be confined to men and women. Why should a harmonious union be limited by yin and yang?

The way of Heaven and Earth is the harmony of yin and yang; among noble companions, letters and arms shine together.

I, Yuqing, am unworthy of my place in the Imperial Academy, yet I have long admired the general’s free and fearless spearwork. Today, I offer the rest of my life as my betrothal gift, and wish to share a harmonious union with you.

I swear:

If you give me your true heart, I will never forsake you in this life.

In closing:

This betrothal is not bound by worldly convention, nor do I seek a house full of children and grandchildren. I wish only for our hearts to be one, and for us to remain together forever.

Written by Yuqing, this letter is our pact.

I am but a soldier. I know nothing of romance or poetry. To know that you care for me is my good fortune; to share this bond with you is my good fortune. I am not good with words, so I offer you my heart and body, and vow to grow old with you and share the beauty of Wushan.

I swear:

I will cherish you all my life and never fail Yuqing.

In closing:

In life or death, in joy or sorrow, we have made our vow.

I will take your hand and grow old with you.

Written by Gu Xi, this letter is our proof.

[Scholar Top, General Bottom]

There will be a secondary couple, and one couple will have a tragic ending, so be prepared. The main couple will absolutely get a happy ending.

This is no tale of romance, but one devoted to the land.

We will not bow before our elders, but pay our respects to the annals of history.
