◎Lewd, impulsive young general Chi vs. scheming, calculating, sickly beauty

◎Close proximity / made for each other / childhood sweethearts / marriage / sweet romance

The Shen and Chi families are both military families, separated only by a single wall.

General Chi taught his son with a whip. Every crack carried clearly to Shen Qinghe, sunning herself under the peach tree next door. She felt both sorry for him and envious.

The eldest Shen daughter had been frail and sickly since childhood, unable to practice martial arts. More than anything, she envied the lively young General Chi next door, who could run and jump and climb onto the roof if he went three days without a beating.

Young General Chi was full of life and youthful energy. What she couldn't stand most was the way Shen Qinghe gazed at her with a soft smile: clear eyes like water, rippling with light. Every time the sickly beauty looked at her, it felt as if a whole jug of fiery liquor had gone down her throat, leaving a lingering burn that never stopped bubbling.

.

At sixteen, when a matchmaker came to the Shen family to arrange a marriage for Qinghe, she refused to discuss it and talked the young general into sneaking her out. They traveled the mountains and rivers together and had the time of their lives.

One night, Qinghe came down with a high fever. Chi Heng carried her to the clinic and begged her not to fall asleep.

Half-conscious with fever, Qinghe lay softly against her thin, narrow shoulders. Her voice was hoarse as she teased, half joking, "If you promise to marry me when we grow up, I won't fall asleep."

Afraid of upsetting her while she was sick, Chi Heng nodded vigorously. "I'll marry you, I'll marry you! As long as you're all right, I'd do more than marry you. I'd even have children with you!"

1. They switch roles, but since Miss Shen is frail, she is usually the one in the receiving role.

2. A story about a sickly beauty who schemes to win over a young general, and the two of them facing life side by side.

3. Both heroines grow through their own stubborn efforts. Neither is a silly, naive sweetheart, and the romance and plot move forward together.

Latest historical girls' love novel: Won Over by a Crybaby Beauty

▲ Original title: Delicate

▲ Age gap: the uke is five years older than the seme

▲ Both reborn / romance-focused / intimacy before love / love that grows over time / sweet romance / one-on-one

▲ Delicate, timid crybaby beauty uke x ill-tempered seme who starts with lust and falls in love later

When Yu Zhi was twenty-three, she endured humiliation and became Wei Pingxi's concubine so she could pay for her mother's treatment.

The Wei family of Lingnan was a prestigious clan granted an iron certificate of merit by the emperor.

The unpopular, odd-tempered Fourth Miss Wei returned from an outing with a beautiful woman who was as delicate and timid as a flower.

The woman was born with a captivating figure: soft and youthful, frail and gentle, with shoulders like a sculpted slope and a waist like a willow branch.

At first, Wei Pingxi treated her like a plaything.

But she had never met anyone quite like Yu Zhi:

She was sensitive and affectionate by nature, and cried easily. Even when a dog in the courtyard died giving birth, she'd clutch a handkerchief and cry for half the night.

The ill-tempered Fourth Miss couldn't bring herself to comfort people with sweet words. Instead, she came up with new ways to bully the concubine she kept in the back courtyard.

She just wanted to see how far the beauty could be pushed before she couldn't take it anymore and slapped her, calling her shameless.

As the days passed, the weepy beauty remained weepy, unable to withstand the slightest cruelty.

But when that lovely voice hummed and moaned softly by her ear, trying to hold back, Wei Pingxi could no longer control her own heart.

Cicadas shrieked endlessly in the summer. Sunlight pierced the broad green leaves, and the hot weather was truly irritating.

She glanced proudly at the woman dozing on the soft couch, then furrowed her brows, fretting inwardly: Oh dear, do you even like me or not?
