Marrying the Young General

Only when she was dying did Qiao Ning learn that she had always been a substitute.

She got her wish and married the cousin she had loved since childhood. After they married, they were considerate and respectful toward each other, the perfect couple in everyone else's eyes.

But only Qiao Ning knew that her husband was taciturn. He seemed to treat her very well, yet there was always a hint of coldness about him.

If she hadn't seen her old rival after death, risking troops and horses to take revenge on her husband, she would never have known that someone in this world valued her more than his own life.

When Qiao Ning opens her eyes, she has returned to her youth. She immediately packs her things and heads back to the capital.

Her old rival is just as he was in her previous life: a spoiled playboy who has left a trail of broken hearts.

The young man this year is tall and broad-shouldered, with sharp brows and bright eyes. A wicked smile is always on his lips. He blocks her in an alley and says with a grin, "Little Miss Qiao, I hear you're deeply in love with me and have admired me for ages. You even dumped your childhood sweetheart of a cousin for me?"

Qiao Ning answers frankly, "Yes."

The young man freezes, not knowing where to look. The tips of his ears turn red. "..." Is this girl blind or something?

The elders in Qiao Ning's family all warn her that the fourth young master of the Duke of Zhenguo's household is a rotten playboy who has fallen into the mud, a little demon king. They tell her to steer clear of him whenever she sees him.

But Qiao Ning doesn't agree. "Fourth Young Master Gu is the best person there is."

Gu Yuanchen, who hears this, thinks, "..." This girl must have misunderstood me.

[Little Scene]

A group of spoiled young men joke over drinks in private. Everyone says Third Miss Qiao is peerlessly beautiful and that they all long for her.

Gu Yuanchen suddenly gets up and beats them all. Drunk and furious, his eyes bloodshot, he shouts, "Anyone who dares lay a hand on Qiao Ning, I'll kill him!"

Later, a rumor spreads through the capital that the little demon king knelt before the old duke for three days and three nights and took a beating with a whip, all to beg for a marriage.

After that, Young General Gu abandons his old playboy ways and becomes a spirited young hero, dressed in fine clothes and riding a fine horse. Like the heroes of his family before him, he becomes someone the whole world looks up to.

What can he do? His little wife sees him as the best person in the world.

No one knows that in that warm springtime alley, the radiant girl smiled at him and had already captured his confused, restless heart.
