The General's Wife's Daily Schemes

Zhu Ninghao was delicate, graceful, and alluring, with a poignant beauty. Thanks to her considerable skill and knowledge, she stayed behind the scenes, guiding the other women of the Jiangnan singing house. She was its leading performer.

No one expected that after Zhu Ninghao was freed from her indenture, she would turn down countless proposals from wealthy and talented young men, only to fight for the chance to become the deceased General He’s ghost bride!

Only Zhu Ninghao knew that she had loved He Huachuan for over a decade. It was only after hearing he had died in battle that she realized she ought to marry him.

But as she lay in her coffin, waiting for the ghost wedding ceremony to finish, He Huachuan came back alive and said he wanted to return her exactly as she was.

"You don't belong here. Go back to Yongzhou!"

Zhu Ninghao thought, "There's no way I'm going back, not in this lifetime! I've finally got a live one, so of course I'll find a way to stay by his side!"

Taking advantage of He Huachuan's limited mobility, Zhu Ninghao persistently put her knowledge into practice on him, doing her best to win his heart.

At last, one day, the recovered General He pulled Zhu Ninghao into his arms.

He Huachuan: "I've gained quite a bit of experience myself lately. Let's compare notes!"

*Childhood friends, both sexually inexperienced.

---For my next novel, I'm writing the upcoming story Springlike Glaze. Please show it some love:

The newly enthroned emperor, Lu Junzhi, has always believed in repaying every grudge. Since taking the throne, he's executed all his enemies and settled both old and new scores. Even the maid who warmed his bed while he was lying low has been brought into the palace.

People say that woman used the new emperor as a stepping stone to build connections and become a wealthy merchant in the capital. Now that she's fallen into his hands, she deserves to die.

But no one could have guessed.

Deep in the palace, Lu Junzhi gazed at her sleeping face again and again.

"Sleeping in my arms is the only way I can rest easy, Youyou."

She was the vibrant color in his black-and-white life, the moonlight in his cold nights, and the one who helped him find himself, little by little.

[Shrewd, self-serving merchant vs. two-faced emperor]

[The emperor and empress's rise to wealth]

On a winter night, beneath warm blankets.

Slightly tipsy, Lu Junzhi held Lin Ci, enjoying a rare moment of laziness and contentment.

But Lin Ci was so frustrated she could barely speak. The shopkeepers had fudged the books on her during the day, and when she got home, she discovered her former lover had brought his younger sister to visit...

Lu Junzhi looked at her, unable to understand how such a gentle woman had developed such a tough disposition. He teased her:

"Why can't you, Miss Lin, learn to whisper a few sweet words at my bedside?"

Lin Ci was too annoyed to reply. She only thought to herself:

How could I rely on a bedmate whose days in bed with me are numbered?

The lonely, helpless girl didn't yet know that one day, all she'd have to do was furrow her brow, and the man would regret not doing enough for her.
