Li Shuwan was extremely lazy. If she could get someone else to do something, she never lifted a finger herself.
Every day, she lounged around her manor, directing others to farm and brew wine, until she read a book.
In a world torn by war, the hero and heroine couldn't bear to see rivers of blood, so they retired from the martial world.
The second male lead gave his last drop of blood defending his country, only to be framed by a traitor and branded a turncoat.
Li Shuwan was so furious that she prepared to have someone rewrite the ending, but drifted off to sleep in a daze.
The next morning, she woke up in a bright red bridal gown, looking utterly disheveled.
The man opposite her stood tall and straight, as elegant as an orchid and jade tree.
"You have a noble status. If you don't want to marry me, I'll let you go home. Even if the Chongping Prince's residence is richer than the entire country, it has nothing to do with me, Yang Mingzhao."
Li Shuwan: "...Why does this plot seem so familiar?"
Yang Mingzhao was the second male lead in the book she'd read yesterday, the border general who was despised by the world, died bearing a traitor's name, and was cursed by everyone?
Had she become that foolish princess who was married off to the borderlands by her wicked stepmother, only to abandon Yang Mingzhao and climb the social ladder by marrying someone more powerful?
Li Shuwan was thrilled. "I'll marry you!"
Yang Mingzhao: "...Fine. It's just one more idle person to feed."
One day, after months of campaigning, Yang Mingzhao returned and couldn't recognize the road home!
Since when had these fields become so prosperous?
Since when had there been so many workshops?
And when had this outlying military camp grown so crowded?!
Yang Mingzhao's face darkened. "You're openly raising troops. Are you planning a rebellion?"
Li Shuwan blinked. "Yep~~"
On the army's march toward the capital,
They found an unconscious man. Great, the mighty general of the court.
They fed a starving old woman. Hm, the heroine's mother.
They rescued a debauched young man on the brink of death. Wait, isn't that the hero?
The soldiers: "The general's wife is truly extraordinary!"
Yang Mingzhao: "Turns out I'm the idle one."
Free-spirited, beautiful, and chivalrous princess × upright, stern young general
