She is the Prime Minister’s daughter and the most talented woman in the capital. He is the mighty General Who Guards the North, a god of death on the battlefield.
The emperor issued a marriage decree, and the officials opened a betting pool over when they would divorce: one month, three months, a year… The longest odds were on “a lifetime.”
The whole capital waited for the children of these rival families to tear each other apart and turn their wedding night into a bloodbath. But on the night of the wedding, the groom stood outside the door for half an incense stick before daring to enter. The first thing he said was, “I won’t do anything you don’t want. I can wait ten years for you. One night makes no difference.”
Wait, what happened to the god of death? What happened to the rival families?
Later, everyone discovered that the cold-faced lord of the underworld who had taken twenty thousand heads in the northern frontier was, at home, a “devoted husband” who fed the oxen, chopped firewood, and bought osmanthus cakes for his wife. And his talented wife, so proper and reserved on the outside, had long since wrapped him around her little finger.
Both are inexperienced, one-on-one romance, devoted to each other in body and heart. Exes? None. They’re each other’s first love.
The betting in court was intense, and everyone was waiting for them to divorce. But their life together just kept getting better and better, until someone noticed that the General’s wife seemed to be carrying… twins?
Watch this bickering couple turn a marriage decree no one believed in into a love story so sweet that the entire court becomes obsessed.
Waiting for them to divorce? Maybe in your next life.
