My Husband Is Rather Fierce-Looking

Li Xiao is the foremost general of Northern Jin. After more than a decade in the military, he has a naturally fierce, merciless face, and everyone he looks at feels the chill of his murderous aura. The people of the capital give him a wide berth. His family insisted on finding him a wife. Loathing the idea, Li Xiao strode into the bridal chamber that night with his sword in hand, intending to make his feelings perfectly clear. The maids and attendants in the room held their breath and trembled, terrified that blood would soon be spilled and they would be caught in the crossfire. But then his new wife lifted her own veil. Biting her lip, she looked up timidly, her bright almond eyes full of confusion and innocence. "...Are you my husband? My eyesight has been poor since childhood, so I can't see clearly." Li Xiao froze. Looking at the woman's weak, timid face, he feared even one harsh word might make her faint. His throat tightened. With a grim expression, he swallowed every threat he'd been about to make. Forget it. What was there to argue about with a sickly woman? * Qin Yuruo has suffered from an eye condition for years and can barely see clearly. People say she ruined her eyesight crying over her younger sister. Years ago, after the Qin family's younger daughter was abducted and taken to the capital, no word ever came of her again. Some said she had been sold, others that she was dead. Everyone told Qin Yuruo to move on and live her life. But Qin Yuruo kept dreaming of her sister's tearful eyes. All she wanted was to uncover the truth. She would repay every debt and settle every score. But the capital was far away, and she needed somewhere to stay. As it happened, General Li was looking for a wife. She volunteered to take the place of the Jiangnan heiress who refused to marry so far from home, and was carried into the general's mansion. To win Li Xiao's affection, she played sweet and helpless, pretended to be delicate, and tried every trick she could think of. Qin Yuruo knew better than anyone that a relationship founded on deception and exploitation could never end well. When everything was over, she would ask to leave him and go. But when that day finally came, as she packed to leave the capital, the deceived General Li blocked the doorway, looking like a fiend. "I never said I minded! What are you running for?" * One day, a busybody came to complain to Li Xiao. "General, don't you think your wife's helpless act is all an act? She's deceiving you!" Li Xiao flew into a rage. "Bullshit! Who said I've been deceived!? This is a game between husband and wife! You know what that means? Get out!!" #Hmph, I haven't been fooled. Everything is going according to my plan.
