After Pretending to Be Husband and Wife with the General

Please support my next book, Marrying a Prince of a Fallen Kingdom as a Concubine (Matriarchy)

Everyone in the capital knows that Su Lingyin, the second young lady of the Chancellor's residence, is a stunningly beautiful, willful heiress who has only just returned from the mountains.

And yet this woman, whom everyone despises, has been betrothed to the renowned General of the Cavalry!

What they don't know is that Su Lingyin is the masked thief who makes corrupt officials in the capital tremble at the mere mention of her.

Su Lingyin: A betrothal? Ha! I suspect he's a corrupt official! I'm only marrying him so I can gather evidence.

Su Lingyin always thought that once she had gathered enough evidence and uncovered the truth, she could immediately divorce him and throw this moody, stone-faced man into prison.

Lu Jingheng really did end up in prison, but Su Lingyin was the one who grew frantic, her eyes red as she stormed into court to save her husband!

Their marriage contract was just an alliance. At first, Lu Jingheng regarded this woman only as a temporary partner. As long as he played his part, he didn't need to concern himself with anything else, nor did he care to.

After Su Lingyin forcibly kissed him, Lu Jingheng's ears turned red with embarrassment.

There was no need to take the act that far!

Who could have guessed that as they kept playing the loving couple, the most unlikely thing of all would happen?

Su Lingyin, who had diligently played the part of a loving wife, was cornered by Lu Jingheng, who passionately confessed his feelings.

One day, as Su Lingyin watched Lu Jingheng cling to her and shower her with declarations of love every day, she wondered: had the aloof, inscrutable General Lu she remembered ever really existed?

"What? You want to fool around in broad daylight again!" Su Lingyin's almond-shaped eyes widened.

Bonus Scene

Late one night, Su Lingyin was sneaking over the wall of her own residence when she came upon a man fighting five opponents at once.

Su Lingyin: What's going on?

When the man's sinister gaze turned toward her, Su Lingyin awkwardly pointed to the mouth of the alley.

"Sir, you're blocking the way."

The very next morning, who would have thought that the man from the alley would come to her residence to propose?

Su Lingyin: What's going on?

It turned out he was none other than the newly returned General of the Cavalry, Lu Jingheng.

That demon who killed without batting an eye, Lu Jingheng, renowned for his military achievements since he was young!

"If Second Miss is willing to marry me, I'll do anything."

Ha! Su Lingyin sneered inwardly. Anything?

"I'll manage all the money in the General's residence."

"As you wish, Second Miss."

"You are not to take a concubine or visit the pleasure houses."

"As you wish, Second Miss."

"Everything is as you wish, Second Miss."

Lu Jingheng brushed Su Lingyin's bangs behind her ear and gazed into her bright, lively almond-shaped eyes. "Yes, I'm jealous."

"I want to break his arms and legs, tear his mouth apart, and make sure he never appears in front of you again. Yin Yin, I'm this sinister and ruthless. Will you hate me?"

Even if you do, it won't matter. Su Lingyin, we will be together for all eternity.

Su Lingyin nodded. "Oh. Anything else?"

The next book: Marrying a Prince of a Fallen Kingdom as a Concubine [Matriarchy]

[Detached career-driven female general × scheming, unhinged fake prince]

[An aloof, self-controlled beauty whose heart has just begun to stir × a suspicious, insecure, dangerously obsessive mad dog]

The Da Heng Dynasty and the Da Ye Dynasty had faced off for a hundred years. In one, a woman sat on the throne; in the other, a man ruled as emperor. Each controlled half of the Central Plains, until a woman appeared and broke the stalemate: Chu Jinyue, supreme commander of the Da Heng Dynasty, bestowed the title Pacifier of Heng and known as General Pingheng.

Chu Jinyue struck straight at the enemy's heart and conquered the Da Ye Dynasty in one decisive campaign, capturing its Crown Prince Ling Chen and bringing him back to Da Heng.

She thought the war was over, but the Empress unexpectedly issued an edict granting the prince to her as a concubine-husband.

Chu Jinyue had never considered marriage. Men were nothing but burdens, and a man from the Da Ye Dynasty was even more repulsive to her. Even though he was handsome, refined, and exceptionally attractive, he could not stir the slightest interest in her.

Ling Chen was a prince born to a servant girl, bullied throughout his childhood and then forced onto the throne as Crown Prince after his kingdom fell. How pitiful.

He was supposed to die, but he survived. The price was becoming a concubine in Da Heng.

Chu Jinyue was a cold, merciless woman who had killed countless people and loathed him. That suited Ling Chen perfectly; he had no desire to provoke the woman who had once held a blade to his throat.

But later, Ling Chen realized he was wrong. His gloomy, obsessive gaze lingered greedily on her features, the way she wielded a sword, and her ruthlessness when killing.

He fell in love with the very Chu Jinyue who had once tried to kill him. Every frown and smile, every movement, even the way she leaned against him when drunk, was branded deep in his rotting heart.

He wanted to possess her, to claim sole possession of the only god of war in the hearts of Da Heng's men.

Those weak, useless men were unworthy of her. Only he, a madman who had already brushed shoulders with the King of Hell, was worthy of her.

Ling Chen lifted the tip of Chu Jinyue's hair, a sickly smile on his face. "My Lord, your concubine is willing to do anything for you, even die."

Chu Jinyue remained expressionless and brushed his hand away. "No need."

Ling Chen's eyes darkened, then he laughed softly. "My Lord is so heartless. Your concubine is going to be upset. It must be that the Empress is giving you another man to steal your affection from me."

Chu Jinyue frowned and looked at him speechlessly. "Go back to your room. Stop saying absurd things all day and getting on my nerves."

That night, not long after Chu Jinyue had taken a new wife, the woman was discovered having an affair with a guard. She fell into a well and drowned.

Ling Chen came to Chu Jinyue with a smile, wrapping his arms around her waist. "My Lord, they all deserved to die. How dare they betray you? But your concubine will always be loyal to you." As he spoke, he leaned close to Chu Jinyue's ear and stared at her smooth, glistening earlobe, swallowing hard.

Chu Jinyue sighed and pushed his head away, unconcerned. "She's dead, so let her be. Don't get in the way while I'm studying the strategic map."

Ling Chen lowered his eyes, his dark gaze fixed on Chu Jinyue. "My Lord..."

"Tsk." Chu Jinyue glanced at him impatiently.

That one glance made Ling Chen blush. He sat off to the side. Chu Jinyue studied the strategic map, and he watched Chu Jinyue.

If this sounds interesting, come take a look. Don't miss it as you pass by! The mad prince deserves a long, long love story too. The aloof female general knows nothing about love; all she wants to know is which country they're fighting next. Are there any countries left that can put up a fight?

The book after that, Thankfully, I Transmigrated into a Book as a Minor Character's Master, is also joining the fun with a little preview. Thank you for all your support, my dears!
