Shen Junning transmigrated into a book. Of all people, why did she have to become the ruthless, universally despised general who shared her name? And a woman disguised as a man, at that. Tsk. This character has a terrible ending: she gets cut to pieces. Since she's ended up here, she can't let herself meet the same fate. To survive until the ending, Shen Junning works diligently and conscientiously, thinking only of protecting her career and keeping her head. She plays the part of a false and fawning subject to the emperor, Mo Yunqi, never realizing that he can hear every thought in her heart.
"You have suffered greatly to ease my burdens, dear Shen," Mo Yunqi says, looking concerned.
Shen Junning bows and replies, "It is my duty to ease Your Majesty's burdens." In her heart, however, she grumbles, [Dog emperor, if you think I'm suffering, then let me go home and rest. Who are you putting on this show for? Or you could reward me with real gold and silver. Damn it, all you've got is that mouth of yours.]
"Junning, are you satisfied with the marriage I arranged for you?"
"Your Majesty's arrangements are always the best." Shen Junning maintains her composure, but curses him inwardly: [Satisfied my ass. Dog emperor, all you do is make trouble for people. Don't you have anything better to do?!]
"A Ning, look at me. Just once. I love your soul, not your gender. I would love you even if you were neither man nor woman. Even if..." The hand gripping Shen Junning's shoulder tightens. "Even if people call us lovers, so what? I am the Son of Heaven. Who can criticize me? Who would dare?"
Shen Junning is instantly thrown into a panic. "Your Majesty, please calm down..."
Moral: Examine yourself three times a day.
