The Female General's Moonlight Is the Enemy Kingdom's Prince

[The long-suffering prince x the bold, beautiful female general]

Important: The male lead does not harm anyone the female lead wants to protect.

Late at night, the celebrated female general Shen Hanyao lifted the covers, only to find a handsome man asleep in her bed with his eyes closed.

A flicker of surprise crossed Shen Hanyao's eyes. She flung back her cloak, turned around, and demanded sternly, "Who put him in my bed?"

A soldier answered, "General, he's the man the Wing Kingdom sent you."

A few months later, all the soldiers knew how much the general doted on this man. She even brought him along to meetings.

It was night again.

Xiao Zhichen, who was always by the general's side, held a knife to the fair skin of her neck. After a long pause, he lowered the dagger and went back to sleep on his pillow.

Once the man beside her was breathing evenly, Shen Hanyao opened her eyes...

No one had ever imagined that Shen Hanyao would one day fall at Xiao Zhichen's hands, that the daughter of a renowned military family would lose her power and vanish without a trace.

They met again at the new emperor's enthronement banquet. The new emperor, who had crushed the rebel faction with an iron fist and pacified the realm, deliberately lifted a beauty's chin, teasing a laugh out of her.

But his gaze never left the cool-faced woman beside him, not for a moment. She simply lowered her eyes, serene, utterly unaffected.

The new emperor flew into a rage and swept out of the room.

After an accident, Xiao Zhichen finally remembered that their first meeting had never been in a bedchamber. After years of torment and testing, he realized that when they were young, they had once shared a romance.

He rushed like a madman to the palace where she was imprisoned. Pain surged through his eyes. He stood alone in the pouring rain all night, but all he got in return was a cold glance from her.

"Xiao Zhichen, we're even. We have been for a long time."

Xiao Zhichen had always known that Shen Hanyao had someone hidden in her heart. That person, like him, had a pair of lovely peach-blossom eyes.

She even kept mistaking him for the beloved moonlight in her heart. Whenever her usually cool face turned toward him, her eyes would carry a smile.

Day by day, he fell for her tenderness, yet burned with jealousy and resentment.

He thought that one day, he would keep her locked by his side and force her to forget the person in her heart, leaving only him.

Later, he realized he was wrong...

Extra Scene:

Everyone knew the new emperor was born with a pair of charming peach-blossom eyes, always bright with a smile. He was aloof but never improper, and when he struck, he was decisive and ruthless. No one seeking to curry favor with him could ever guess what was in his heart.

But the chief eunuch who served at the emperor's side knew that the only time the new emperor ever lost control was on that full-moon night, when Xiao Zhichen carried the blood-soaked woman toward the Golden Palace, step by step, his gaze dark and murderous.

"Save her, or die."
