After Marrying the Sweet and Simple Young General

On one side was the son of the Grand Commandant, a powerful court official. On the other was the daughter of a fallen noble family.

For some reason, the old emperor had a sudden whim and arranged a marriage between them.

· On their wedding night, the whole room was decorated in festive red.

He Ranran stared blankly. "I... I'm married now?"

Zhu Mingdan nodded as she took off her hair ornaments in front of the mirror.

He Ranran paced behind her, taking ages to finally stammer out, "I... I..."

Zhu Mingdan yawned, then patted the bed sleepily. "Get in bed. Time to sleep."

Watching Zhu Mingdan sprawl across the bed, He Ranran curled up miserably in a corner and finally finished what he'd been trying to say.

"It's my first marriage. I don't know how to be a good husband."

He looked at Zhu Mingdan's back and reached out hesitantly.

Zhu Mingdan rolled over, and he snatched his hand back in alarm.

Zhu Mingdan couldn't help laughing. She looked at the handsome young man with a smile in her eyes. "Don't worry. I'll be patient with you."

At first, He Ranran thought Zhu Mingdan loved him.

She was lively and beautiful, mischievous and spirited, full of life like a camellia blooming in the forest, beholden to no worldly conventions.

He couldn't help feeling lucky. Thankfully, Zhu Mingdan was a woman like that.

Later, He Ranran discovered that her bright, gentle manner was an act, and her tender affection was a deception.

Every sweet word he heard was mixed with countless ulterior motives.

At heart, she was unruly, even a madwoman, a clear-eyed lunatic.

Zhu Mingdan even admitted it herself: "Yes, I am not a virtuous person."

"What's more, I'm a schemer through and through."

He Ranran said, "You are my wife."

He still loved her beyond reason.
