The General Fell Hard After Marriage (Transmigrating Into a Book)

The Yan family, Dukes of Rongguo, had served three dynasties and held hereditary noble rank for generations.

The eldest legitimate daughter, Yan Jin, was peerlessly beautiful. From the day she came of age, marriage proposals poured in.

Two years passed without an answer, but the Duke of Rongguo’s household remained unfazed.

Some said the ducal family had their sights set sky-high, aiming for the throne’s inner palace.

One winter day, an imperial edict arrived at the Duke of Rongguo’s residence.

Everyone was stunned.

The most beautiful woman in Shengjing had been granted in marriage to an unremarkable, rough-and-ready general stationed a thousand li away: Shen Xun.

Rumor had it Shen Xun was built like a bear, had a violent temper, and despised women.

In an instant, the foremost noblewoman became the laughingstock of all Shengjing.

Everyone sighed that this marriage was like a delicate flower planted in cow dung. Spoiled and pampered Yan Jin would surely fail to last even a year after marrying into the family in the northwest!

Even the Duke of Rongguo, who was usually as steady as a rock, couldn’t sit still. He prepared to go to the palace and make use of his seniority.

But his daughter stopped him on the way.

Yan Jin smiled and simply said, “Father, I’ll marry him.”

Later, Shen Xun was made Marquis of Changqing and returned to the capital with his family to pay his respects to the emperor.

When they saw the most beautiful woman in Shengjing again, her cheeks glowing and her beauty more radiant than ever, with a vigorous, handsome man by her side, everyone finally understood: rumors really could do harm!

Shen Xun, a former special forces soldier, had witnessed the horrors of war.

After transmigrating into a book, he became the eldest son of a general guarding the northwestern frontier, burdened with great responsibility.

He would defend his country and fight for the people’s future.

Shen Xun kept his focus and never lost a battle.

That is, until the noblewoman everyone held in such high esteem stepped into the mud and greeted him with a curtsy. “General Shen.”

He lost that battle utterly.
