Why Is the General's Wife Like That?

I wipe your spear clean and don your armor for you. -- Wen Zhan

(At first)

Liu Junqing: That bastard general has set his sights on me. I'd rather die than give in!

Zhou Zhenling: Me too...

(Later)

Liu Junqing: My husband is the best and most handsome man in the world.

Zhou Zhenling: Then, tonight...

The young lady has a tender-hearted childhood sweetheart, while the general has a houseful of concubines with ulterior motives. The two seem to have nothing to do with each other.

Later, the childhood sweetheart who had promised his heart to her was stolen away by a princess. The emperor also arranged a marriage between the Zhou and Liu families. Worried their younger sister would suffer after marrying into the Zhou family, her parents hurriedly pushed her forward instead.

How could a young lady who had been spoiled and willful since childhood not fight back? To avoid a fate of marrying a rotten general, growing old alone, and dying sick on the frontier, she decides to find another powerful family and marry into it as quickly as she can.

So she gives him sultry glances, speaks in a soft, gentle voice, and drops hints like crazy. She even... puts on a performance right there in front of him.

The person involved: I regret it. I really regret it now.

A blunt, oblivious general X A spoiled, flirtatious young lady pretending to be scheming

One-on-one, both pure.

The male lead is busy building his career, so he's six years older than the female lead and still a virgin at an advanced age.

The court politics are set in an imaginary world, so don't get hung up on the details. For example, a princess's consort can still serve in government.
