The General's Wife Is a Witch

Overnight, she transmigrated to another dynasty, and Bai Jiu became the young wife of the general's household. The original young wife of the general, Bai Jiu, had hanged herself with a white silk sash. She died on the day her husband, Ye Zhou, whom she had never met, returned victorious. That day, the whole general's household was decorated with lanterns and banners and filled with celebration. No one remembered her. When she opened her eyes again, one soul had replaced another in the same body. Bai Jiu had become Bai Jiu. She lived in a secluded courtyard, with a cold stove and cold meals, and no one to ask after her. Bai Jiu, however, felt nothing but relief. In her previous life, she had revealed secrets of fate and defied heaven to save someone, losing her life as a result. The heavens granting her a second chance was the greatest good fortune she could have hoped for. She had planned to live quietly this time, but one day she saw her husband, Ye Zhou. Judging by his face, disaster would befall him within three days. After much hesitation, she told him the truth. That one warning was all it took to entangle her in a marriage. The aloof, taciturn General Ye turned out to have two entirely different sides to him. "Wife, tell me, will I win my horse race against the Crown Prince today?" "..." "Wife, wife, how many deer will I get when I go hunting with His Majesty tomorrow?" "..." "One last question..." General Ye glanced around and whispered, "Are ghosts real?" Bai Jiu smiled. "General Ye, you've killed countless people. And you're afraid of ghosts?" "That's different. No matter how fierce the enemy, they're still flesh and blood. If ghosts really exist... I can't see them, so of course I can't fight them." "Look, behind you..." Before she could finish, General Ye's expression changed abruptly. He pulled Bai Jiu into his arms. "Wife, don't be afraid!" Bai Jiu froze. He was clearly so scared. Why had he protected her first? What a fool. There isn't much supernatural content in this story. Most of it is made up, so there's no need to fact-check it.

When she came of age, her father arranged her engagement to Pei Yan, her childhood sweetheart, who was then the Sixth Prince. Later, a palace coup changed everything. The Crown Prince's rebellion was crushed, and with the Chancellor's support, Pei Yan entered the Eastern Palace as Crown Prince. Just as Yan Nuo eagerly awaited Pei Yan's marriage proposal, the Chancellor's daughter became the Crown Princess instead. On the day of the wedding, Pei Yan secretly came to see Yan Nuo. He told her he had no choice but to marry the Chancellor's daughter, and promised to make Yan Nuo empress once he ascended the throne. Yan Nuo believed him. * Pei Yan successfully became emperor. Yan Nuo never received the title of empress. Instead, an imperial decree arrived, arranging her marriage to Gu Xingyuan, a young Vice Minister of Rites. Gu Xingyuan was a gentleman. Knowing she was unwilling, he treated her with respect and protected her. In three years of marriage, he never once overstepped her boundaries. * Three years later, Pei Yan accused Yan Nuo's family of secretly conspiring with the deposed Crown Prince. He exiled Yan Nuo's father and two brothers, and her sister-in-law was forced to hang herself. Under the emperor's wrath, the entire court fell silent. Only Gu Xingyuan risked his life to speak up for the Yan family. He was demoted for it, then ambushed and killed on his way to take up his new post. * The day the news arrived, Yan Nuo was knocked unconscious by a man in black. When she woke, she found herself in the imperial palace. With red-rimmed eyes and a hoarse voice, Pei Yan said, "Yan Nuo, don't blame me. Let's start over from now on, all right?" Yan Nuo looked at him without a word. * Three months later, Zhiwu Palace, the closest palace to the Imperial Study, caught fire. Fanned by the wind, the blaze burned down nearly half the imperial palace. A palace attendant reported that Yan Nuo had died in the fire. Pei Yan fell seriously ill after hearing the news. * But Yan Nuo woke up, scarred all over and bearing an ugliness she could not show the world, and returned to ten years earlier. Ten years ago, she was still a pampered young lady. Now, her battered self from ten years in the future and the girl she once was existed in the same era. That year, she had not yet become engaged to Pei Yan, and her father, brothers, and sister-in-law were all still alive. Gu Xingyuan was still a spirited young man. Wrapped in a black cloak, she knocked on the Yan family's door. "I'm looking for the Third Miss, Yan Nuo."
