The Mad General Abandoned by the Grand Princess Is Back for Revenge

When Princess Yongle, Chu Qiong, was seventeen, she went out for a stroll and took a fancy to a street ruffian. They said he was handsome, well-built, and possessed a wild streak unlike any of the young men in the capital.

Princess Yongle adored the young ruffian, but she also personally cast him aside.

Later, war broke out in the Chu Kingdom. To preserve peace, the emperor ordered Princess Yongle to marry into a foreign land. In an instant, the most honored princess became a casualty of war.

But on the day of the princess's marriage, an enemy prince was killed in the bridal chamber by a soldier, his death exceptionally brutal.

The Chu emperor immediately made that soldier General Suiyuan. From then on, General Suiyuan fought across the land, brought the realm to peace, and became a favorite of the emperor. Then a rumor appeared from nowhere: the General Suiyuan of today was the same young ruffian Princess Yongle had once cast aside.

Everyone suddenly understood!

No wonder General Suiyuan was always so cold toward the princess!

But no one could have imagined that General Suiyuan would kneel outside the palace gates and use the glorious military achievements he'd won with his life to ask for Princess Yongle's hand.

Shocking!

Absolutely shocking!!!!

At that very moment, deep within the palace, General Suiyuan, usually a man of stone-faced composure, had flushed cheeks as he affectionately nuzzled the young woman sitting on his lap.

"Didn't you used to love seeing me blush?"

The princess lowered her head shyly, but he caught her and pulled her back. His voice was tender, yet carried an irresistible authority. "That's not enough. I want more!"

So what if Princess Yongle had once cast him aside? Now that he had fallen in love with her, he would win her back, even if it meant overthrowing the entire dynasty.

He still remembered that rainy night. Chu Qiong looked down at him as if he were an insect. "Stop deluding yourself. I was only playing with you because I was bored. How could someone born into the imperial family have a heart?"

He watched her leave and swore that he would drag Chu Qiong down from her position as princess, then take revenge on her and trample her underfoot.

But after clawing his way up from the bottom, he fell in love with her all over again, willingly becoming her devoted servant!

Extra scene:

Everyone knew that General Suiyuan, Zhong Qi, was a ruthless man who had carved his way out of the battlefield! He rarely smiled and carried a fearsome aura, so few dared approach him.

That was why the people felt all the more sorry for Princess Yongle. How had a princess who had been cherished and pampered all her life ended up the wife of such a man?

How tragic, how pitiful, how heartbreaking!

Then one evening, a young deputy general from the Ministry of War happened to see Zhong Qi outside the Imperial College gates. After a moment's thought, he went up and asked:

"May I ask what you're doing here, General?"

Zhong Qi looked at him as if he were an idiot. "Obviously, I'm here to pick up my wife after class!"

Just then, the Imperial College bell rang. Princess Yongle came out, and Zhong Qi, who couldn't get enough of her even though she treated him indifferently, hurried over with a fawning smile.

"Are you tired today, my dear?"

"Not really."

"I've had your favorite pastries prepared at home..."

"I don't really feel like eating them."

"Then what would you like? I'll go buy it for you!"

The deputy general watched General Suiyuan walk away and thought that he was nothing like the rumors. Later, when he went to Zhong Qi's home with the other ministers to discuss military affairs, he heard Zhong Qi telling the servants, "Listen carefully. My wife only needs to be pampered by me. She doesn't need to worry about anything else."

The ministers: "..."

Who said Princess Yongle was unhappy?

She's living an even more comfortable life than she did as a princess!
