Lu Jia transmigrated into a book and became a great general whose achievements threatened to overshadow the emperor. With the advantage of knowing the story, Lu Jia came up with a plan to save her own life: in the midst of a major battle, she pretended that both her legs had been crippled.
She voluntarily returned her military command token and retired after accomplishing her mission.
She thought she would enjoy a leisurely retirement, supported by the state. Instead, the empress showered gifts on her and bestowed upon her the beloved, unruly Ninth Prince, He Yu, as her principal spouse.
The Ninth Prince He Yu was so doted on by the empress that he'd grown spoiled and almost impossible to control.
The officials seeking his hand in marriage had practically worn down the threshold of the empress's study, but He Yu was afraid of pain and didn't want to suffer through childbirth after getting married.
So he threw tantrums and made a scene until the empress turned down every proposal.
But no one could have imagined that the empress would ultimately marry He Yu to the "crippled" Lu Jia.
The marriage was an imperial decree. Lu Jia had no choice but to accept.
Knowing that He Yu feared pain and didn't want to have children, Lu Jia decided to assert her authority as his wife and make him stop acting out.
On their wedding night, Lu Jia rose to her feet, her tall frame looming over He Yu.
With a fierce expression, Lu Jia grabbed He Yu's slender wrists in her calloused hands and threatened him repeatedly:
"I hear the Ninth Prince is terrified of having children. This general's mansion isn't the imperial palace. You're married to me now. If you keep acting as you did before, I'll make you have two children in three years and three in five."
Unexpectedly, He Yu looked both frightened and starstruck. "The general can do whatever she likes. He Yu is willing to have your children!"
Lu Jia was stunned. She never expected the spoiled prince to act like a completely different person after they got married.
He Yu obediently sat on Lu Jia's lap in her wheelchair and picked up a grape to feed her.
Everyone gasped at the sight. "General Lu has a way with her husband. Please share your secrets!"
