The Years I Bullied the General

The author usually stays up late writing, so ladies can read this the next day or wait until more chapters are out.

The mighty general of Suicheng was handsome, powerful, and unmarried. Countless young women had fallen for him, but despite being in the prime of life, the general was as unmoved by beauty as a wooden Buddha statue. Rumor had it that the great general didn't want love to distract him. He was focused on his career.

But then a woman came to Suicheng, radiant as the warm spring sun. She tossed out a handful of gold leaves and moved into the finest house on Yuncui Lane.

After that, the general started visiting Yuncui Lane every few days.

Everyone: ...

What they didn't know was that, before a bloody battle, when he returned in triumph to the capital, the general had declined countless rewards in the imperial palace of Shengjing and told the emperor, “I ask for only one person.”

He would seek only that one person for the rest of his life. He was content to let her boss him around and would gladly do so forever.

Ning Lanyu was the only daughter of the distinguished Ning General's household, lively and carefree. Then one day, a quiet boy who was nearly mute appeared at her side. He followed her everywhere, and Ning Lanyu would often rub her forehead and sigh, “You blockhead.”

There was a lot to like about a blockhead: he was obedient and easy to tease.

But one day, she suddenly realized that this blockhead was rather pleasing to the eye. Oh no, the more she looked, the more she liked him, until she was falling for him.

Miss Ning wasn't one to hide her feelings. Tipsy, she took the boy's hand and confessed, making him blush as he rasped, “Xiao Yu, stop fooling around.”

“Don't pretend. Wasn't it my name you murmured in your sleep?”

Sadly, she never got to hear his answer. Her first love never had the chance to bloom.

But fate takes its turns. Years later, she had lost her status as a noblewoman, and the boy had become a great general.

Ning Lanyu had planned to keep her head down and live quietly, but the general gripped the sword at his side and told her firmly, “Keep being willful. I'll let you take advantage of my favor.”

A smile spread across Ning Lanyu's face. “Then I won't hold back.”

She can have her way by being sweet, acting cute, and putting on a show. Or she can do it by being clever, willful, and cunning.

The male lead is pursued at first, then does the pursuing later.

A little scene:

Her rival, a fake-sweet woman, asked Ning Lanyu in an affected voice, “What is your relationship with the general, Sister?”

Ning Lanyu casually smoothed the hair at her temple and smiled. “Oh, well, for years I used to bully him whenever I felt like it.”

Hearing this, the general corrected her. “That's not quite right. I'll let you take advantage of my favor for many years to come.”

The rival: “...”

I'm leaving.

Upcoming story: Spring Breeze in My Dreams (also known as I Stole My Betrothed Prince Consort)

In the capital, Mr. Xufeng dressed like an ordinary man, yet had the bearing of an immortal. With his folding fan, long sword, and graceful poise, he was utterly carefree. People lamented that with looks like his, a distinguished family background would have made him truly glorious.

But who could have guessed that at the Qionglin Banquet, the emperor would intend to marry his beloved Seventh Princess to Xufeng?

But who could have guessed the marriage wouldn't happen?

Mu Yun, the most beautiful shopkeeper in the capital, took the imperial death-exemption pass and asked the emperor to withdraw his decree. She said she loved Mr. Xufeng and hoped the emperor would be gracious enough to let her fight for her own happiness this once.

Xufeng asked Mu Yun, “How did you get the nerve to go before the emperor and steal me away?”

Mu Yun: “You're so handsome, I was blinded by desire.”

Xufeng lowered his head and smiled. “Then it seems climbing through your window wasn't for nothing.”

After successfully winning the handsome man, Mu Yun was astonished by the account books he laid out before her. Xufeng merely waved his fan and said coolly, “Since I'm yours, my fortune should be yours too.”
