The General's Wooden Beauty

Blurb:

Li Shanyao is a screenwriter with a pretty face who is determined to succeed through her own talent.

After she transmigrates, she becomes the daughter of the richest family in the capital, a famously wooden beauty, and a foolish girl bullied by her stepmother. To protect herself, she becomes engaged to a general.

On their wedding day, the general sends an eight-carriage bridal procession and a lavish dowry, giving her a wedding ceremony rarely seen in the capital.

Married life is peaceful and pleasant. She is the sole mistress of the vast general's residence. One day she builds a little kitchen, the next she sets up a playground; she digs a fishpond, plants fruit trees, and spends her days eating, drinking, playing, and having fun. Going from timid and apprehensive to pouting and playfully making demands, she feels that the general, reputed to be cold and uninterested in women, truly loves her dearly.

Song Zimu has always lived a lonely life.

He is the eldest legitimate grandson of the Marquis of Zhenguo, but after losing both his parents in childhood, he becomes an awkward presence in the family.

His second uncle grows estranged from him over the title, and his grandmother treats him coldly and with resentment because he looks like his mother. He doesn't care about any of that. Once the country is secure and the people are at peace, he can return to Mobei and spend the rest of his life by his parents' graves.

But everything begins to change after he meets a young woman outside the city.

She is beautiful and delicate, like spring snow, soft and fragrant with flowers, melting at the slightest touch.

She melts into a flowing spring, coursing through every inch of him and spreading unchecked, taking root deep in his heart...

Li Shanyao: I'm very happy with married life. As long as the general doesn't change his mind, I'll stay with him for the rest of my life.

Song Zimu: I will love Shanyao alone for the rest of this life, and the next as well.
