The Golden Lotus Hook

My Second Marriage into the General's Household is now underway!

When Ye Jinhe sees Shen Shizhou again, she watches him receive love confessions from the two great beauties of the capital. Jinhe thinks to herself that a man like him may have a handsome face, but he's cold and black-hearted. Whoever marries him is doomed!

Later, Jinhe gets into danger while out on the street, and Shen Shizhou saves her. Unfortunately, the heir apparent gets "trampled" by a donkey's hoof. The imperial physician diagnoses him as unable to have children, and all the women who once wept and begged to marry him fall silent.

Shen Shizhou comes to the Ye family. "How will you repay me for saving your life?"

Jinhe: "..." Of all people, she was the one who'd ended up in trouble.

Everyone thinks Shen Shizhou married Ye Jinhe to get revenge, but then Jinhe gets pregnant.

"...!" The heir apparent is impotent?

The imperial physician hurries out to dispel the rumor. "It was a misdiagnosis. His Lordship is perfectly fine!"

Jinhe, with her pregnant belly: "My lord, what a schemer you are."

Shen Shizhou hurriedly smiles apologetically. "Thank you for accepting me, my lady."

When people congratulate her on finding a good match, Jinhe only smiles without answering. A good match, after all, is simply someone who goes to great lengths to love her.

Bonus scene

Jinhe hides behind a woodpile with a little kitten in her arms, engrossed in the heartbreaking drama she's overhearing.

"Who's there?"

After a meow, a little calico cat walks out. It turns around, sits on the ground, and stares motionlessly at the woodpile.

Jinhe: "..." Don't look at me. Look at him.

"Enjoying eavesdropping?"

Jinhe slowly raises her head and meets Shen Shizhou's teasing gaze.

Up next: My Second Marriage into the General's Household

Lian Shuang marries into the General's household, determined to stay alive. After a year of widowhood, Lu Chong refuses to let her leave. Lian Shuang decides to teach General Lu a lesson. On her way out, she takes his banknotes and dresses up her pet tortoise to look like him, giving it to him as a parting gift.

Lu Chong is so furious he laughs. Should he catch her and lock her up? Hide her away? In the end, he decides to keep her by his pillow!

When they meet again, Lu Chong pins her against a wall and grips her chin. "We were promised to each other as children. Have you forgotten?"

Lian Shuang smiles faintly and corrects him. "Your father gave you to me as compensation. Marrying me means joining my family. You can still change your mind."

Lu Chong raises an eyebrow. "Join your family? No problem!"

"How about I help you become empress?" He plans to seize the most exalted throne in the world and give it to her...

The great general gives up everything and moves to the enemy kingdom. All of Great Yan is in an uproar, wondering just how beautiful Princess Lian Shuang must be to make Lu Chong willingly marry into her family.

They have no idea that Lu Chong wanted to take Lian Shuang home as his wife ever since they were children.

The hapless princess only wants to stay alive, but General Lu insists on pushing her toward the throne. She can't stop him, no matter how hard she tries...

Bonus scene

Years later, the young crown prince of Beichen pouts and asks unhappily, "Why do we have to help Mother handle state affairs while she sleeps in?"

Lu Chong replies helplessly, "Your father married into her family, so I have to listen to your mother in everything. We're men, so we should indulge her a little, all right?"
