[The full text has been revised. New chapters begin with Chapter 57.]
Feng Lanyue killed countless enemies in his life. He never fell on the battlefield, but was sentenced to death by the emperor with a cup of poisoned wine.
The official histories dared not record the absurd truth, writing instead: "His sins mounted until they were beyond redemption, and his crimes merited death."
But the widely circulated folk tale, The General's Biography, told a different story:
At seventeen, he fought the Xiongnu.
At eighteen, he pacified the northern frontier.
At nineteen, he guarded the Great Wall.
At twenty, he had devoted his life to the Great Liang, with nothing to be ashamed of. Heaven itself grieved, and snow blanketed the capital.
In her previous life, Xie Yunyi died at seventeen from a congenital illness. She never expected to be reborn and return to two years before her death.
That year, Feng Lanyue returned victorious from a great battle. The young general sat astride his horse, clad in gleaming silver armor, radiating confidence.
She secretly watched him from the crowd, her heart and eyes filled with joy.
There was no cure for her illness, but with a second chance, she had to save someone.
Then news that the Chancellor Xie had requested an imperial decree for their marriage shocked all of Great Liang. Everyone said it was an insult. How could the renowned general be made to marry a dying woman? And it wasn't even a proper marriage: his resignation from the army and return to the countryside clearly meant he was marrying into her family.
When Feng Lanyue died, no one dared to mourn for him, except for that young lady of the Xie family.
He watched the frail girl block the officials' road, snatch a straw mat, play a song of the battlefield, and send him to his final rest in a funeral carriage.
He also watched her die the following spring.
Someone asked if he wanted another chance at life. At first, he didn't. When a person dies, the lamp goes out. Once they're gone, they're gone.
But a life with no regrets should not leave one girl as its sole regret.
He was reborn on the day of his wedding.
At first, he only wanted to repay her kindness and extend her life.
He never expected the capital to be turned upside down overnight, leaving the once-mighty Xie family branded as traitors.
Xie Yunyi: "Feng Lanyue, go. Be the spirited general you were meant to be, fight for the realm. Don't worry about me. I'll die this spring anyway."
When Feng Lanyue died in his previous life, he felt no pain. But seeing Xie Yunyi cry, he realized he should do more than repay her kindness.
The young general kissed the girl's soft lips.
"I had nothing to fight for, so I never fought. Now I have something to fight for, so I'll fight for the world. Xie Yunyi, what are you afraid of? Feng Lanyue is your husband."
Before, I never let the frontier lose so much as an inch. I won't let you lose now, either.
A frail beauty, strong on the outside but always wanting to whimper and be spoiled within x a young general who desires little, but will always win the world if that's what his wife wants
* 1v1, both leads are virgins
* The one who falls first gives first, but is never made to feel inferior
Coming Soon: Marrying into a Powerful Family
Feng Yu, the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Zhenwei, is the envy of the entire capital. Not only is she a pretty, lively girl, but she also has three older brothers famed for their military achievements.
Feng Yu has never suffered the slightest indignity in her life. Even a princess has to give way to her.
Until one day, her eldest brother is imprisoned for deceiving the emperor, her second brother is exiled to the frontier for corruption, and her third brother is sentenced to execution in the autumn for dereliction of duty. Feng Yu panics.
She has no real talent, just a pretty face. Faced with the choice between being bullied to death or marrying up, she steels herself, blushing and trembling, and blocks the official carriage of the Prince of Dongling's heir.
*
Xie Chi'an, heir to the Prince of Dongling, is famous for his jade-like looks and wicked heart.
The women who fall into his hands all meet the same fate once he tires of them.
Feng Yu is terrified, constantly wondering if she's chosen the wrong path and whether she'll survive more than ten days or half a month. But, to her surprise, aside from keeping her locked in a room, he doesn't hurt her at all.
Could the heir actually love me? Feng Yu wonders. Then she hears that he's betrothed to the Duke of Ningguo's legitimate daughter.
The Duke of Ningguo's daughter is fiery-tempered and won't tolerate the slightest offense.
Terrified, Feng Yu packs her things in the middle of the night, deciding to find another powerful man to marry. But just as she steps out the front door, someone stops her.
Xie Chi'an sits atop a tall tower, fanning himself, as beautiful as moonlight reflected on water.
"Where are you going?"
"T-To the Crown Prince's residence."
"You've got a knack for it. Every time, you manage to pick out the person who really has power in this imperial city."
Feng Yu's eyes fill with tears. "The heir is the most powerful person in the entire city. But aren't you getting married?"
*
Feng Yu doesn't know why Xie Chi'an sends ten miles of red wedding gifts and an eight-bearer sedan chair to marry her into his home, or why he gives her what she wants most: clearing her family's name.
Anxious, she speaks to Xie Chi'an from beneath her wedding veil. "Xie Yan, I'm easy to fool. You have to be sincere with me before you lift my veil, or else..."
"Or else what?"
Xie Chi'an looks at the nervous, pretty young woman beneath the veil, but he knows better than anyone:
Long ago, on the Lantern Festival, snow fell on Shengjing.
The youngest daughter of the Marquis of Zhenwei, amid the jeers of the crowd, gave him a plum blossom and smiled sweetly.
"Or else you'll get angry, and when you do, Xie Yan will panic."
*A cowardly, pain-averse beauty x a ruthless heir to a prince's title
* Both leads are virgins, 1v1, no angst for the heroine!

Theme: With love, we face mountains and seas.
Coming, coming, coming!!!! The general is here!!! The general really only wants peace in the world and his own marriage. Chaos is not what the general wants to see. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I really want to see the general and the heroine in this life get married first and then fall in love!!! The general in the previous life came back and was grateful to the heroine. The relationship between the two people is somewhat different, and the general in this life still has a boyish air.
It makes me laugh so much. It looks like the little general has nothing. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
7.6 Stay, I have been correcting the final exam papers these two days, and will resume daily updates after that.
The third prince's character is so fragrant! Will he be a good emperor if he becomes emperor in the future? Oh oh oh oh oh oh~!!! First kiss!!!!
Very good, I really don't like vicious female supporting characters. I like girls to post stickers together ~ let the bad guys be the emperor hahahaha
The only villain in the whole story (a cheapskate): Emperor Zhaoyun
Alas, no matter what happens, the emperor will let him hand over the military power. Marriage and a daughter-in-law are just an opportunity in front of the emperor. The young general can't resist no matter what. He is helpless. (Actually, from this point of view, the little general is really a sinful child, little cabbage, the ground is yellow... I feel a little distressed
This little general is so rare!! I wonder how the heroine can not love qxq
Girls' feelings are always poetry (doge)
Author, please come back and fill in the gaps. I really need this meal.
