After I Was Made a Marquis, I Was Forced Into Marriage

As a female general whose martial prowess ranked among the best in a world torn apart by rival kingdoms, Lin Jingqiong never imagined that one day she would be forced into marriage.

“I don't care whether you agree or not. In three days, you will marry my son. Refuse, and I'll wipe out your army!” The warlord Qin He threatened her.

“Only because my father is old and muddleheaded, desperate for a grandchild, did he make this absurd match. Pretend to go along with it, or do you want the entire Tang family, whom you regard as your own, to die?” Qin Wei, son of Qin He and a polished scoundrel in her eyes, had found her weakness.

Lin Jingqiong and Qin Wei agreed to three conditions: a secret marriage, lasting one year. Afterward, he would pay her handsomely and set her free.

But before three months had passed, Lin Jingqiong was reunited with the man she loved, from whom she had been separated.

“We agreed on a year. Not a single day less,” Qin Wei said darkly.

And so Lin Jingqiong began all sorts of outrageous antics.

The greatest regret in the life of Qin Wei, a heaven-blessed prodigy,

was that when the woman he'd sought for so long fell in love with him,

he was wearing someone else's face.

He had always been proud,

unwilling to accept anything with even the slightest flaw.

He wanted to start over with her as his true self,

but her devotion to his former face seemed far too deep.

A naturally strong female general VS a brilliant chancellor

A marriage before love, with both hearts set on each other.

Female lead's blurb

After the real daughter, Xiao Ru'an, who had been raised away from home, reunites with her birth family, the fake heiress steals her fiance.

The fake heiress thinks the fiance should have been hers all along. Her birth parents think Xiao Ru'an is strange-tempered and eccentric, nowhere near as good as the fake heiress, so naturally she should give him up. The household servants gossip in secret that Xiao Ru'an will probably never get married.

To everyone's surprise, just a few days later, the noble and renowned young general of the Xie family makes a grand public proposal to Xiao Ru'an.

Xiao Ru'an assumes Xie Shenyi is marrying her only to fend off marriage alliances arranged by the powerful families in the capital, protect his beloved, delicate cousin, and perhaps out of a little pity for her. After they marry, she intends to keep her distance and show him due respect. As soon as he no longer needs her, she'll divorce him and step aside.

But married life turns out very differently from what Xiao Ru'an expected.

For instance, Xie Shenyi says he's busy with military affairs and won't have much time for her. Then, every few days, he complains of a headache or sore feet, claiming only Xie Shenyi's company and a little rubbing and patting can make him feel better.

And when his delicate cousin brings him soup and fusses over him right in front of Xiao Ru'an, Xie Shenyi smiles brightly, then unceremoniously knocks the bowl over.

Xie Shenyi even stubbornly insists that he has a strange illness and is gradually losing control of his body.

Xiao Ru'an nods coolly on the outside, while laughing to herself: You like me, don't you!

Male lead's blurb

In his previous life, Xie Shenyi, commander of the Youzhou army, was framed for rebellion and thrown into prison. His wife, Xiao Ru'an, struck her head against the palace gate and died, shaking the entire court. Only then did Xie Shenyi gain a chance to survive.

When Xie Shenyi learned the news in prison, his hair turned white overnight. Later, he truly did raise an army in rebellion.

After succeeding in his rebellion, Xie Shenyi prayed to Heaven countless times, willing to give anything for just one more chance to see Xiao Ru'an.

Xie Shenyi got his wish: he returned to seven years earlier, before he and Xiao Ru'an were married.

Only, he wasn't himself. He was trapped inside his twenty-year-old body and could control only a small part of it. Changing the course of his previous life became exceptionally difficult.

What's more, the twenty-year-old Xie Shenyi loved Xiao Ru'an but refused to admit it, leaving her neglected and hurt many times.

The twenty-seven-year-old Xie Shenyi wanted to smash his younger self's head in.
