Xiao Qinghuan, daughter of the Marquis of Wuyang, was a celebrated young lady from a distinguished family in Bianjing. Born into a family of scholars, she was beautiful, gentle, and charming. Before she had even come of age, countless young men from influential families had come to ask for her hand, but she hadn't accepted any of them, because the man she loved was a peerless hero.
"All the young ladies in the capital are alike, so boring, especially those from scholarly families. All they do all day is write poetry and paint. Nothing could be more dull," said Shen Huaijin, the Marquis of Dingbei.
By imperial decree, Xiao Qinghuan married into the Marquis of Dingbei's household. Her life was quite comfortable, and Shen Huaijin paid her little attention, so she was perfectly content to spend her days tending flowers and experimenting with recipes.
Until one day.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Qinghuan asked, puzzled, when Shen Huaijin, who had been about to leave for court, turned back.
He walked up to her, turned his face aside, and tapped his cheek with his index finger.
Xiao Qinghuan blushed bright red. Seeing that he wouldn't give up until he got what he wanted, she glanced around. When she was sure no one was nearby, she rose onto her toes and gave him a gentle kiss, then urged him, "There, now hurry off to court."
Shen Huaijin smiled and turned to leave. After taking a few steps, he came back and said thoughtfully, "I just remembered that the Book of Rites says, 'Failing to return a visit is impolite.'"
Xiao Qinghuan didn't understand. "And so?"
"And so," Shen Huaijin said with a smile as he walked over, "I can't be impolite either." He wrapped one arm around her waist and held her head with the other, then kissed her quickly and decisively. Before she could react, he let go and left for court, thoroughly satisfied, leaving Xiao Qinghuan rooted to the spot, questioning her entire existence.
Xiao Qinghuan once believed Shen Huaijin was a hero to the whole world. Shen Huaijin spent the rest of his life proving that he was a hero to her alone.
Proud, tight-lipped, iron-blooded general x gentle, charming young lady from a distinguished family
Everyday sweetness. Simple, ordinary days are what matter most.

Excuse me, madam! I would like to ask if you have a WeChat blog!
"Research" is a big bug for the author~ eyes
Pretty─=≡Σ((( つ?? 3 ??)つ
Two-way crush on kswl!
It's over, Shen Huaijin is really getting more and more flirtatious! (Blindly guessing that the "love rival" is the general himself hahahahaha)
Shen Huaijin's absolute son! He doesn't like people calling him Marquis, but he calls himself Marquis at this time. It's obvious that he wants to support his wife! Love it, love it
Hahaha, Shen Huaijin was tempted, but Xiao Qinghuan didn't care about anything. Shen Huaijin: It annoys me to death!
Shen Huaijin: Thinking too much every day Xiao Qinghuan: Straight Girl of Steel Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Hahaha, is this a two-way self-guided strategy?
