Little Guard

★Beautiful young mistress x loyal guard★Sweet romance, one-on-one★

When Si Yueli was five, she brought home a baby boy. After a good wash, he was even fairer than her.

The baby had no name, only the character "Song" embroidered on his collar. She leaned over the lesson her tutor had given her that day and searched through it, character by character.

In the pear-blossom courtyard, the moonlight glows; by the willow-lined pond, the catkins drift in a gentle breeze.

Si Yueli stroked the baby's head. "My name is Si Yueli, so I'll call you Song Fengxu."

The baby nodded obediently.

From then on, she had a little shadow following her everywhere.

When she was ten, Song Fengxu suddenly shot up, growing much taller than her. Even standing on tiptoe, Si Yueli couldn't reach his head.

"Yan'er got a little guard today. He's so impressive. Fengxu, you're so tall. Why don't you learn martial arts too, and become my guard one day?"

Song Fengxu obediently agreed.

In less than three years, Song Fengxu had become a first-rate expert, and Si Yueli could walk around the academy as if she owned the place.

Later, when she came of age, her parents wanted to find her a husband. But Si Yueli thought none of those young masters was as handsome as her little guard.

"Song Fengxu, why don't you become my husband?"

But her little guard disappeared overnight.

Her guard, whom she'd raised from a boy, had run away. Si Yueli regretted it. She shouldn't have teased Song Fengxu just for fun.

But was becoming her husband really that scary?

A year later, Northern Lin and the Song Kingdom went to war. Word spread that the Song Kingdom had a young general who never lost, driving Northern Lin back at every turn.

Only when a friend serving on the front lines sent her a letter did Si Yueli learn that the young general was Song Fengxu.

She twisted her handkerchief, nearly grinding her teeth to dust.

"If only I'd known, I wouldn't have let him learn martial arts. I should've made him... take up embroidery!"

Later, the two kingdoms called a truce and planned a marriage alliance.

As Si Yueli sat on a swing with a pastry between her teeth, an imperial decree arrived at the Si residence.

On their wedding night, the brave young general lifted the red veil with trembling hands. Only when he saw the beautiful, radiant woman beneath it did his long-held anxiety finally ease.

"A Li, I've come to marry you."
