For a betrothal gift of fifty taels of silver, Shen Yin is forced by her parents to marry the family that recently moved into the house at the end of the lane, while everyone looks on with pity.
They say the man she's marrying is a retired general, cold and merciless on the battlefield, who kills without batting an eye.
They say he's huge and brutish, with a green face and fangs, and that one slap from him could kill a little girl like her...
Thinking of these terrifying tales, she clings to the bed and trembles on her wedding night, certain that from now on he will be the butcher and she the meat on the chopping block.
Until the person from all those stories finally appears before her.
Then she discovers that, aside from truly being a retired general, every rumor about him is false.
His huge, brutish build is false. His green face and fangs are false. His fan-sized palms are false. His reputation as a ruthless killer is false.
Even...
his supposed cold-heartedness is false.
Beneath his somewhat distant exterior is a heart more tender than anyone could imagine.

Main couple: Cheng Yao x Shen Yin
A gentle female general who disguises herself as a man, is past the usual age for marriage, and desperately needs a sense of security, with her sweet and adorable little wife, who clings to her shamelessly and has her wrapped around her finger
Side couple: Sima Taozhu x Li Qiuyan
A domineering, narcissistic princess consort with a mind big enough to let a horse run through it and a peculiar sense of logic, with a gentle and graceful village girl who is occasionally short-tempered and stubborn
They appear in chapters 41-51. Feel free to skip those chapters if you don't like the side couple.
A sweet, angst-free, amateurish story, mostly about the little ups and downs of family life. There are no carefully researched historical details, so please just enjoy it.
Theme: Love is powerful.
Wow, I found a treasure trove of articles. It's really heartwarming and real. Nowadays, most men who read this will weaken the male image of the little shou, and use some adjectives commonly used for women as xiaoshou, but they have to be written as men. They cry like that. The tail of the eyes is red, the skin is whiter than snow, and the soft and boneless little shou is paired with a father-like CEO. I really vomited when I saw the female. Women also want to describe the small T in a masculine way, with cold, expressionless faces, strong arms, and tall figures. What kind of double-door refrigerator T? I see this kind of lily-skin covering everywhere. In fact, it is still dark in the eyes of writers who like to write the small T like a man. They just write a man. Seeing that both of them were girls, healed each other, and finally returned to their female identities, thinking like girls, it was like a clear spring that healed me.
"If you are willing to accompany me, then I will probably never want to eat Chaos again." The most beautiful love words in the world are nothing more than this
The only protagonist I've ever seen who didn't have any kissing or sex scenes
I feel like I really want to see what happens next between the princess and her sister-in-law...
My focus was off track and I felt sorry for Cheng Yao. She was also a high-spirited little girl back then. The war brought her too much pain. She finally returned to her homeland but was exhausted. Tao Zhu said that A Yao also smiled brightly back then.
Good water, but the writing is good
Qiu Yan said: Although I have little education, I also know that once you get married, you should stay together forever. . . The princess said: No wonder. If you read more books, you wouldn't think like this. . . . . . Translate: How can a cultured person stay the same? Those who have never been educated are not educated people. Haha, there is nothing wrong with it. So, those who are righteous are those who slaughter dogs, and those who are unfaithful are mostly scholars. The ancients do not deceive me.
Why are you writing about the sub-CP, but the main CP seems to have nothing to write about?
Our Taozhu is so good. We are beautiful, rich and have a great temperament. Don't treat us Taozhu badly.
Whether Yaoyao comes back or not, I am going to cry for you.
