"The not-so-serious version"
The newly sated general had just returned from an inspection tour when he headed straight for his beloved wife's room, eager to "share their innermost thoughts" properly.
The old madam watched anxiously and couldn't even stop him by calling out.
After twenty years of abstinence, the man had finally gotten a taste of pleasure, so naturally he couldn't wait. The moment he saw her, he whisked her toward the bed.
His petite wife whimpered under his kisses. "General... I, I'm pregnant. The doctor said we have to abstain..."
The tall man froze, his eyes dark and deep. "Already?"
Seeing that he hadn't lost his appetite, she blushed scarlet, clutched the blanket in her little hands, and nodded.
She couldn't help feeling relieved. The general was tall and vigorous, and she really had a hard time keeping up with him...
Surely this would keep him satisfied for a while.
But then the man suddenly grabbed her delicate fingers. At the sight of her shocked eyes, his breathing grew heavier and heavier.
Early the next morning, the old madam heard from the servants that her son hadn't done anything reckless. She was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when she noticed her daughter-in-law's hand trembling as she held her chopsticks. Her fair fingers were unusually swollen...
"The serious version"
Wenren Zhi is a brave and formidable general of the Daliao Empire, with an unmatched record of military exploits. Beneath his iron resolve and courage lies a cold, dignified face.
He has spent years fighting on the battlefield and has no one in his household. He is the ideal husband in the eyes of the young ladies of the capital.
The graceful young women of the capital all waited eagerly, hoping and hoping, only for a shocking marriage contract to arrive.
The general is twenty-four, while his fiancée is only thirteen. She will have to wait another two years before she can marry.
The two of them when they first heard the news:
Twenty-four-year-old Wenren Zhi: "?!"
Thirteen-year-old Gu Muzhi: "??"
After much thought, Wenren Zhi considered breaking off the engagement. But the Gu family had just fallen on hard times, and if he ended the engagement now, they would surely be in grave danger. Looking at the innocent girl before him, Wenren Zhi swallowed his words and accepted the Gu family's request to take her in, bringing her to live at his residence.
He had planned to discuss the matter again once things had settled down. Who could have guessed that the delay would last until she came of age?
He watched her grow up, watched her blossom into a beauty, and watched her reach adulthood. Yet he only grew more conflicted.
He couldn't let her go, couldn't bear to part with her, couldn't live without her.
