[The author's other novel of the same type, Raising a Husband by Writing 3,000 Words a Day in Ancient Times, is currently updating. A web-novel superstar transmigrates to another world and makes a fortune by writing stories!] After retired soldier Gu Zeyu dies, he unexpectedly transmigrates to another world. What will happen to him? Gu Zeyu can tell you: it's great! Not only does he become a general, he also gets a clever and adorable wife. Now he's settled in this other world. Now that he's a general, do you think Gu Zeyu will head straight into officialdom and start climbing the ranks to get rich? No, no. A general on the battlefield will have to hang up his armor and retire sooner or later, so he might as well skip ahead and take the silver home now. He should enjoy the beautiful mountains and rivers of ancient times. Back in the modern world, he spent most of his time in the army, but he still had responsibilities and plenty to worry about every day. How could a rough guy like him handle all that? Besides, most importantly, he'd been single for thirty years, and now he had a wife. (Happy little twirl.) Having a wife is great. When he's cold or hungry, someone cares about him. And his wife even makes him clothes, all by hand, and they fit perfectly. (Extra happy.) His wife's cooking is delicious too. He can eat three big bowls in one sitting. (So happy.) A little scene: Gu Zeyu (puppy-dog eyes): Honey, honey, pay attention to me. I'm sad. Cheng Cheng (hugging his puppy-dog-eyed head): Why are you sad? Gu Zeyu (aggrieved): You didn't say good night to me today. Don't you love me anymore? Cheng Cheng (sighing): I've already said it three times. You're like this whenever you get drunk. Whatever, I love you enough to say good night a fourth time. Cheng Cheng (giving him a kiss): Good night. Go to sleep. Gu Zeyu (that's more like it): Honey, I'm going to sleep.
