The Female General After Being Reborn

Huang Cen was reborn.

In her previous life, she rose to fame at a young age and made her name on the battlefield.

At fifteen, the emperor arranged for her to marry Chen Baizhi.

Chen Baizhi was willful and temperamental, with a terrible reputation. Huang Cen was unhappy about it, but she couldn't defy the emperor's decree. The two had only a brief encounter on their wedding day.

Just as the war was about to be won, her subordinates joined forces to betray her. She died on the road, unnoticed and unmourned.

She never expected that her wife, whom she'd only met once, would spare no effort to find her body, take her military seal, and make arrangements for the families of her fallen soldiers before dying in battle herself at just twenty-one.

When Huang Cen opened her eyes again, she had been reborn three years in the past, on the day of their wedding.

One day after they got together, Huang Cen overheard her princess talking with a friend.

"A Cen saved me when I was very young. Ever since then, my eyes have always followed her. But she's stationed at the border for most of the year and hardly ever comes home. I... worry about her so much. That's why I read military strategy every day, hoping to get a little closer to her, just a little closer..."

That way, when she turns around, she'll see me.

Reader's guide:

1. The female general is the real deal, not a woman disguised as a man. The princess's secret love will be warmly returned.

2. Huang Cen comes from a family of renowned generals and has studied warfare since childhood. The emperor arranged the marriage to humiliate her. He's a foolish ruler.

3. The princess is a gentle, beautiful older woman. The rumors aren't true.

4. A fictional historical setting, pure romance, younger top.
