Who Says the Great General Doesn't Know Romance?

Shen Yuqing transmigrated into a novel called The Concubine's Rise, becoming Shen Yuqing, the prime minister's legitimate eldest daughter, whose status sharply contrasted with that of the novel's concubine-born heroine.

At home, she could put up with being a legitimate daughter who was constantly outshone by a concubine-born girl. But the male lead she admired with all her heart had fallen for her younger sister, too.

In the end, she had no choice but to follow her family's arrangements and marry the mighty General Yongyi against her will, becoming a general's wife.

The general in the book was tall and imposing, and seldom smiled. On their very wedding day, he moved into his study and left her alone in their bridal chambers.

Before long, while the general was away at war, she cuckolded him.

When the truth came out, her reputation was ruined. Not only was she divorced, she was also disowned by the prime minister's household, and met a tragic end.

When Shen Yuqing arrived, the prime minister's household was arranging her marriage to the general.

She saw the book's cold-faced general with her own eyes and immediately noticed that he wasn't just tall and handsome. He also had an air of integrity, and spoke and acted with great reason.

So what if he was a cold-faced general who didn't understand romance? Just looking at a man like that was a feast for the eyes.

Besides, once she married him, she would be the lady of the general's household. Her husband would often be away, all the servants in the residence would answer to her, and she could spend their gold and treasures however she pleased. What was there not to like?

She agreed on the spot.

Yet not long after the wedding, Shen Yuqing lay on the bed, fuming and turned away from him.

The general gently massaged her waist with his large hands, smiling as he asked, "Does it still hurt? Don't be angry, my dear. It was all my fault..."

Shen Yuqing turned her head away. Who said the general didn't understand romance and would leave her alone in her room? Hmph! Liar!
