The General I Keep at Home

My next book, The National Medicine Master, is now underway. Welcome, dear readers!

There is a woman in the capital who is said to bring death to her husbands. Marry her, and you die.

Unfortunately, Jian Yan is that ill-fated woman. After being thrown into a river by a scumbag in her previous life, she learned her lesson and set her sights on the well-behaved boy who had been raised as her future husband in that life.

As she raised him...

Shao Qi, once the boy she was raising and now a great general, asked, "You want me to marry into your family?"

Jian Yan: "...I wouldn't dare. *sob, sob*"

Shao Qi: "You wouldn't dare? You dared to say you don't want me!"

Jian Yan: "..."

Looking at the furious general before her, a question mark slowly appeared above Jian Yan's head. Had she completely misunderstood what "well-behaved" meant?

On their wedding night:

Jian Yan: "I bring death to my husbands. Are you afraid?"

Shao Qi: "I am..."

With tears in her eyes, Jian Yan said, "So you really don't want to marry me!"

Shao Qi quietly finished his sentence: "I'm afraid you won't marry me."

This story will be marked complete on April 2.

Here's my next book, too. Please add it to your shelves!

The National Medicine Master

After earning her doctorate in traditional Chinese medicine, Jing Xi transmigrated to ancient times.

There, she lost not only her medical license, but also most of her literacy!

With no other choice, she set up a shabby little stall, advertising it as: "Medical treatment comes with a free fortune reading."

Zhao Yu injured his leg one day and only meant to find someone to run errands for him. But the stall owner turned out to be quite conscientious. She treated his injury and insisted on throwing in a fortune reading as well.

Jing Xi: "Your face says you're destined for great wealth and status. How did you manage to get yourself into this state?"

Zhao Yu: "...You're a doctor. Why insist on reading fortunes?"

Jing Xi sighed. "To tell you the truth, fortune-telling doesn't pay well these days. I had no choice but to learn traditional medicine."

Zhao Yu: "..."

Later, Jing Xi looked back on how she and Zhao Yu first met:

The first time she saw him, he was a proud, aloof nobleman fallen on hard times.

The second time, he was an aloof prince of immense wealth.

The third time, he had become an aloof and mighty emperor!

Jing Xi: "...He really was destined for wealth and greatness."

Still, at least she became empress, too.
