Yu Chisu worked hard for several years and finally succeeded in assisting the new emperor to ascend the throne.
As a teacher who had been with the new emperor for many years, Yu Chisu thought he would enjoy a happy life from now on, but he did not expect that his emperor's student was so rebellious that he wanted to marry him as his queen.
After being repeatedly rejected and severely reprimanded by Yu Chisu, the new emperor was furious and threatened to marry Yu Chisu to Duan Zhuhan, the general who had just returned from a disability. If Yu Chisu did not agree to be the queen, he would marry the disabled man.
Yu Chisu felt that it was easier to accept being offered marriage to Duan Zhuhan than to be a student's wife.
So he readily agreed to the proposed marriage.
In the anger of the new emperor and the dumbfounded civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Yu Chisu got married to the newly returned general Duan Zhuhan.
On the night of flowers and candles, Duan Zhuhan, whose legs were crippled, looked coldly: "I didn't expect that His Majesty and the Imperial Master thought so highly of me. In order to keep an eye on me, the Imperial Master actually sacrificed himself here and married a disabled man as his wife."
Yu Chisu didn't bother to explain, so he untied his wedding clothes and replied: "So General Duan had better be honest."
Seeing Yu Chisu sleeping peacefully, Duan Zhuhan couldn't help but put his hand on his neck.
The next day, the news spread like wildfire that the Imperial Master and the General were almost strangled to death by the General on the first night of their marriage.
Imperial Master Yu Chi was stunningly talented and beautiful, with an appearance and temperament that resembled that of an immortal descended from the earth. However, he ended up with the humiliating end of marrying into a man's wife. Moreover, he married General Duan Zhuhan, who had long been known for his violence and was now disabled. It was said that his temperament was even more treacherous... People sighed and sympathized with each other. They felt that such a weak Imperial Master would not survive more than a year by General Duan's side.
Duan Zhuhan smiled: He used to think that Yu Chisu was just a weak scholar, the kind who would die if he coughed twice more... If he hadn't been almost stabbed to death by Yu Chisu's sword on the wedding night.
People only knew that General Duan wanted to strangle Emperor Shi to death on his wedding night, but they didn't know that he had just put his hand on Yu Chisu's neck, and before he could use any force, Yu Chisu gave him a clean blow.
While people were expressing sympathy for the pinch marks on Yu Chisu's neck that he had made himself, General Duan was applying medicine to stop the bleeding from his real injury...
Duan Zhuhan gritted his teeth: "The emperor's master is good at literature and martial arts, and is capable of bending and stretching. Duan admires him."
Yu Chisu smiled slightly: "I also know some medical skills. Since your leg is not disabled, how about I help you cripple it so that you can act flawlessly?"
Duan Zhuhan choked and joked again: "... Are you reminding your husband, who is able-bodied, that he should give you a night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber?"
Yu Chisu: "..."
