Shen Jingque was sold by his father for twenty-five taels of silver.
The person who bought her was General Huo Changgeng of Zhenbei, the coldest man in the capital.
She thought she would be treated as a maid, but the general said, "You will be my military advisor."
Shen Jingque:? ? ?
She is a charlatan who has traveled around with her father since she was a child, relying on fortune telling and feng shui to earn a living. What skills does she have as a military advisor?
As a result, the general said: "You can see through a lie in three sentences, which is better than my military adviser."
So Shen Jingque began her "deception career"——
Teaching the general how to cry: "You don't look like you are sad, you look like you are constipated."
Taught the general to pretend to be sick: "Pig blood is in your mouth, bite it at the critical moment."
Teaching General Acting: "The best deception is to make everyone think it is true. Including - yourself."
Huo Changgeng is a cold-faced general who kills people without blinking an eye. He is plotted by the right minister, bullied by the veteran general, and used as a pawn by the court.
He only knows how to fight, not how to behave.
Shen Jingque said: "It doesn't matter, I will teach you how to lie."
She taught him to cry, teach him to pretend, taught him to act, and taught him to play with everyone in the court.
She thought it was just a deal - she helped him win, and he gave her security.
But one day, Huo Changgeng held her hand on the eve of the expedition.
He said, "You said you had to finish teaching me. So you have to live."
Shen Jingque was stunned.
It's over.
I seemed to have tricked myself into it.
