Childhood sweethearts | The regretful chase | King of saying one thing and meaning another | Face-slapping
(The first 50 chapters are already written. Scheduled to start in November.)
Everyone said Ye Zhenzhen was lucky.
Although her mother died young, she had won the favor of the Duke of Zhenguo’s household and had been raised in luxury for over a decade, like a princess.
Ye Zhenzhen kept a secret in her heart, one she never dared tell anyone.
She liked Qi Huaishu.
The only son of the Duke of Zhenguo and Princess Yongning, and the current emperor’s nephew.
He was reckless, arrogant, and free-spirited, unable to stand the slightest restraint.
Even when he turned the capital upside down, people would still follow behind him with smiles on their faces.
And her father
was only a fifth-rank official,
the kind of fifth-rank official whom a strong wind could knock down, along with eleven others out of ten, in the capital.
But Qi Huaishu was always saying, “Ye Zhenzhen is my little sister. If anyone so much as plucks a hair from her head, I’ll kill him!”
So Ye Zhenzhen could only carefully hide her feelings away.
That day, standing beneath the warm sun, she heard the duke bring up a marriage agreement with her father.
Her fingertips trembled, her heart pounded like a drum.
But his reaction woke her from a dream she had spent fifteen years dreaming.
“I will never marry her!” His face was full of anger, his eyes bloodshot with a resolve she had never seen before. He nearly overturned the table.
Behind the screen, Ye Zhenzhen’s eyes widened. Her fingertips dug hard into her palm as she struggled to hide every trace of emotion.
Three years later.
The reckless young man had become a young general with a string of military achievements.
Young General Qi returned from the battlefield, full of vigor, to the city gates thrown wide open and the people lining the streets.
And she had already found a match: the second young master of a collateral branch of the Duke of Zhenguo’s household, whose nature was as kind as could be.
It would spare the duke’s household any embarrassment and fulfill her father’s pride.
She thought the two of them could maintain a peaceful facade.
But he made such a scene that even the emperor was furious enough to throw down his jade seal.
In front of all the civil and military officials, he tossed his saber down at Qi Er’s feet with a clang. His eyes were bloodshot, as if they were about to bleed.
“You and Zhen’er have a marriage agreement? Am I dead to you?”
“Stab me in the chest three times, and your marriage agreement with Zhen’er is over!”
The general who had never retreated before an army of thousands now looked as humble as a child begging for forgiveness.
He stared fixedly at her as she shielded Qi Er:
“But I... I was the one who had a marriage agreement with you first...”
