Liang Jing'an spent over a decade disguised as a man and serving as a general, surviving on horseback and living by the blade.
The emperor suspected her of becoming too powerful, and rumors swirled beneath the walls of the imperial city. Her identity could be exposed at any moment.
After weighing every possibility, she found only one way to survive: become the royal family's son-in-law and marry the emperor's beloved younger sister, Chu Xiang, the most beautiful princess of Western Chu.
Rumor had it the little princess kept countless lovers, both men and women. She was reckless, capricious, and heartless.
Someone who had seen it all would only find this reluctant marriage novel for a few days at most.
So Liang Jing'an carefully laid her plans and obtained a marriage contract.
She had it all figured out. After the wedding, she would be respectful and distant, never initiate anything or get close.
She would wait for the princess to tire of her and cast her aside. Then she could request a posting away from the capital and return to guard the border in the north. A few years later, she would fake her death on the battlefield. Liang Jing'an would cease to exist, and she would be free.
But... things didn't go as planned.
After the wedding, the little princess came poking into her room every day, tugging at her armor and asking in a soft voice, "Consort, when are we going to consummate our marriage?"
"Consort, the stars are auspicious today. Shall we consummate our marriage?"
"Consort, shall we?"
"Consort..."
Liang Jing'an dodged her again and again, refusing her every time, until one day the little princess finally had enough and pinned her to the bed.
A soft, boneless hand slipped into her cold, hard armor. As Liang Jing'an's head spun, she heard the little princess ask:
"General, why won't you?"
"Do you really have some hidden ailment, or do you simply lack the... equipment to satisfy this princess?"
A disguised-as-a-man, motherly, sweetly clueless general vs. a clever, lively, willful, honey-tongued little princess
