Blurb:

Rumor had it that General Xiao Jingchuan was injured in an accident. When he awoke, he was blind, and his mood became so erratic that everyone kept their distance.

Jiang Guanning was forced to marry him in place of her twin elder sister.

Everyone lamented that the Jiang family’s daughter was unfortunate. Her mother had sent her off to marry in her sister’s place, and she would spend her life suffering.

…

Jiang Guanning had a secret.

When she was young, the general had rescued her from beneath a horse’s hooves. She had once seen him astride his horse in splendid clothes, full of confidence and vigor.

She had married him of her own free will.

Xiao Jingchuan protected the border and kept the people safe.

She would protect Xiao Jingchuan.

…

Xiao Jingchuan had lost his parents when he was young and had no one to rely on, so he joined the army to make a living.

He had spent his life fighting in wars and had never known the tenderness of a woman.

Then he was ambushed. It was the darkest moment of Xiao Jingchuan’s life, and the only things that kept him company were the bitter medicinal scent on his little wife and her soft, gentle voice.

Xiao Jingchuan thought: She is a ray of light in my dim, joyless life. I must treat her well.

Until one day, Xiao Jingchuan regained his sight and finally saw his wife clearly.

The woman before him was dignified and courteous, and gently called him “husband.”

But Xiao Jingchuan alone knew that this wasn’t the wife who had always stayed by his side.

Furious, he bundled up the impostor and sent her back to the Jiang family, then brought home the woman he had been longing for.

…

Late at night, Xiao Jingchuan held her tightly in his arms and called her name again and again. “A Ning.”

Jiang Guanning cupped his face. “My sister and I look exactly alike. How do you know she wasn’t me?”

Xiao Jingchuan buried his face in the crook of her neck and murmured, “Whether I’m blind or not, I’ll never mistake you for anyone else.

“You are my light, the vivid color in my gray life.”

A sweet, straightforward young wife × a doting general

Upcoming novel: “The Young Widow of the Hunter’s Family.” Please add it to your collection!

Yunniang became a widow before she was even out of her teens.

The villagers said her horoscope was inauspicious and that she brought misfortune to her family and husband. Her parents didn’t want to be dragged down by her, so they hurriedly married her off.

Yunniang married into her husband’s family carrying his memorial tablet. For ten years, she managed the household frugally, cared for her mother-in-law, and raised her young sister-in-law.

She became a well-known virtuous woman in the area.

After her sister-in-law married, her mother-in-law took Yunniang’s hand and sighed. “A good reputation won’t put food on the table. You’re still young. I’ll find you a suitable match, so you’ll have someone to rely on when you’re old.”

Yunniang agreed aloud, but didn’t take it to heart.

A person only lives once. All she wanted was a peaceful, stable life, and she already had that.

…

To help with household expenses, Yunniang went up the mountain alone to gather mushrooms.

She encountered a wild boar gone mad. Just as she thought she was about to die there,

Lin Ping, the hunter from the end of the village, appeared out of nowhere and saved her from the boar’s tusks, then carried her home when she sprained her ankle.

Her mother-in-law had been worried about finding a suitable husband for Yunniang. When she saw the strong, strapping hunter carrying her home, satisfaction practically shone in her eyes.

That night, her mother-in-law took Yunniang aside and earnestly advised her. “I think that Hunter Lin is a fine choice. He’s strong and healthy, much better than my son, who died young. Yunniang, if you marry him, he’ll never mistreat you.”

To bring them together, her mother-in-law used the excuse of repaying Lin’s kindness to arrange for the two of them to meet more often.

Only then did Yunniang realize that Lin Ping wasn’t the terrifying brute the villagers claimed. He was warm-hearted and kind.

Until one day, her brother and sister-in-law, whom she hadn’t seen in years, suddenly appeared with a group of people, intent on taking her home to marry her off to Master Wang, a wealthy man from town.

Master Wang was notorious for his cruelty and abuse of women. Many young women had been injured or killed at his hands.

Yunniang naturally refused. Just then, Lin Ping appeared, drove off everyone her brother and sister-in-law had brought, and declared, “Yunniang is the woman I’m going to marry. If you want to fight me for her, you’d better hope my knife agrees.”

After the bad people left, Yunniang thanked him sincerely. “Thank you for helping me, Big Brother Lin.”

The hunter, who looked so fearsome, blushed for once and stammered, “I… I meant every word I just said.”
