After the General I Grew Up With Caught My Legitimate Brother's Embroidered Ball in Public, I Became the Princess Royal's Live-in Husband

To secure a marriage alliance through a son-in-law, my father made my legitimate elder brother and me toss embroidered balls. Both balls landed at the same time. Under everyone's watchful gaze, the female general Chu Hongying, my childhood sweetheart, turned aside and caught my elder brother's ball. Mine rolled through the mud and dust. No one would catch it, and I became the laughingstock of the whole city. Afterwards, Chu Hongying grabbed my hand and explained, "Guanzhi wrote to me the other day. The Taiwei's legitimate daughter wants him to marry into her family, but that woman is vicious and takes pleasure in killing. Your father is impressed by her family background and has already started considering the match. He could only ask me for help." "Just wait a little longer. Once the Taiwei's family agrees to call it off, I'll break off my engagement and bring you into my household."
