The Mad Dog General Pretends to Be a Loyal Hound: His Frantic Pursuit of Love

[A priest who worries about the country and its people VS a naturally cruel general who suppresses his nature for love and pretends to be a loyal puppy]

In their previous life, Shen An hid his cruel nature from Jiang Nuan to win his wife’s affection. He played the loyal puppy all his life, yet still couldn’t make her fall for him. Shen An was often glad he was blind. By acting pitiful, he won Jiang Nuan’s sympathy and kept her by his side for seven more years. He thought seven years would be enough to make her depend on him.

But after his wife cured his eyes, she left and was gone for ten years.

If he had another life, Shen An thought, he would never pester Jiang Nuan again. But when she smiled warmly at another man and called him “Big Guy,” Shen An was consumed by jealousy. He regretted his decision. That had been his wife’s special name for him alone.

If he could pretend for a lifetime, what was one more lifetime?

His wife in this life was still young, so he had plenty of time to nurture their relationship from the beginning.

Jiang Nuan had once divined that a man born evil would appear in the country’s future. But when she met the man who, though fierce with her, was also softhearted and loyal, she began to doubt her divination for the first time. Later, the man won great military honors and used them to ask for her hand. Though she didn’t understand, she agreed. She wanted to find out why he differed so greatly from what she had divined.

It wasn’t until Jiang Nuan discovered that her divination had been right, and that someone had simply been pretending far too well, that she couldn’t help laughing. Still, it was fine. If General Shen could keep pretending, that would be just as well.
