A calculating little ray of sunshine who pretends to be gentle but is truly frail × a carefree, dashing young general
Marriage First, Love Later | Faking Her Death | The Wife-Chasing Crematorium
Jiang Wan transmigrated into a book, becoming a pitiful, frail girl whose parents were both dead.
When her heart condition flared up and pain left her drenched in cold sweat, the System told her that her pain level was tied to the male lead's affection for her. Every point his affection increased would reduce her pain by one point.
Jiang Wan: Got it. The male lead falling for me is my painkiller.
But feelings could always hit a plateau, and her body couldn't hold out much longer. So when his affection stopped increasing, perhaps faking her death could break the deadlock.

Pei Jinglan was a remarkably gifted young general, the only son of the Marquis of Chengyuan.
Unfortunately, after returning from battle one day, he lost three years of memories due to a serious injury. When he returned home, he discovered that he had a wife.
His mother said, "This is the woman you begged and cried to marry three years ago."
Pei Jinglan frowned at the frail beauty before him, who looked as though even a gust of wind could carry her away. He couldn't understand how he could have fallen for someone like her three years ago.
Fortunately, his wife was gentle and considerate, and always handled things with care. Pei Jinglan, who had never liked trouble, gradually decided that his younger self had pretty good taste.
His wife did seem to lack a sense of security, though. In bed, in the midst of their lovemaking, she would look at him with a heartbreakingly tender gaze. "Husband, could you love me a little more?"
Whenever she did, Pei Jinglan felt his heart melt.
He thought he and his wife would go on living in harmony forever, until one day, when he regained his memories. Only then did he suddenly realize:
His wife was a liar through and through.

Pei Jinglan's last memory of Jiang Wan was of their terrible, heart-wrenching argument.
His wife, eyes red, said, "I'm sick of having to depend on other people's affection to get by. Pei Jinglan, I'm sick of you. I don't want you anymore, and I don't want your love either."
After that, her tears became his nightmare, haunting him day and night.
