Everyone in the capital said that Jiang Qiaoge's greatest talent in life was being delicate.
She was afraid of the cold, bitter tastes, and pain. If she walked too long, she needed someone to support her. When taking medicine, she had to wrinkle her nose. Even her voice was soft and gentle, as if she might shatter at the slightest touch. Yet by imperial decree, the emperor bestowed her hand in marriage to Xie Lin, the General Who Conquers the North.
Who was Xie Lin?
He was the sharpest blade on the northern frontier, a man whose very name made the noblewomen of the capital tremble.
Everyone said the marriage was absurd.
Xie Lin himself thought so too.
On the third day after their wedding, urgent news arrived from the border. Xie Lin swung into the saddle, ready to leave, but his little wife, whom everyone said would not live to see winter, stood in front of the carriage clutching a medicine case, her eyes red as she looked at him. “I’m going with you to the frontier.”
Xie Lin: “...”
At first, General Xie thought he had married a little tyrant.
Later, he realized that this little tyrant could not be touched, scolded, or left out in the cold. Whenever tears welled in her eyes, his heart panicked. Whenever she called him “General” in that soft voice, he wanted to place even his life in her hands.
The soldiers on the frontier soon noticed that their usually stone-faced, taciturn, and ruthless general had been acting strangely ever since he brought his little wife back.
If she coughed once, he was more anxious than the army physician.
If she furrowed her brow, he could turn the entire camp upside down.
If she could not sleep in the middle of the night, he would stand guard outside her tent in his cloak until dawn.
Someone asked Xie Lin if it was annoying to be married to such a delicate little wife.
Xie Lin pulled her into his arms and replied without changing expression:
“I’m the one who spoils her. Got a problem with that?”
