Unearthed Centuries Later: The Lady's Still-Visible Underwear

Pei Xichen received a mission from the System: marry the Empire's general, become the general's wife, and thereby save the world and change its fate. He tried every possible tactic and exhausted every trick. Finally, one day, he really did marry into the general's household. The general was cold and unfeeling, but doted on his childhood friend, Ning Yuan. Pei Xichen decided to imitate Ning Yuan. How hard could it be to act weak and pitiful? Anyone could do that! In public: Pei Xichen was forced to accept a glass of beer. He took a tiny sip, and a blush crept up his fair neck. Then he coughed until his eyes turned red. Clutching the general's sleeve, he asked timidly, "Could I not drink it...?" The general furrowed his brows, whether with concern or anger. He put an arm around his little wife and scolded everyone, saying they were never to pressure his wife to drink again. In private: At a bar, when the server brought over a few glasses of beer, Pei Xichen slammed the table and snapped, "Bring me vodka!" In public: Looking at the expensive gift, Pei Xichen wore an expression of longing and restraint. He pursed his lips and asked nervously, "It's so expensive... Is it really okay for you to give this to me...?" The general kissed him and said, "What's wrong with that? You deserve it." Pei Xichen in private: "You only spent a few tens of thousands on me. What, am I supposed to lose sleep over it?" One day, Pei Xichen's true nature was finally exposed. But the usually cold and merciless general never asked for a divorce. Everyone was baffled. "General, didn't you realize your wife is a fake sweetheart who pretends to be weak?" "Oh. I love him even more now." Theme: Well, then
