A Betrothal in Mountains and Rivers

Proud, scheming princess of a fallen kingdom x steadfast, pure-hearted female general

A secret crush comes true x falling in love with herself

The imperial capital of Liang finally fell.

Princess Chaoyang, dressed in red, climbed alone to the city tower and struck the long-silent Drum of Grievances.

"Qi Miukang, you have the ambition of a wolf and the morals of a snake! You broke your promises, left countless people of Liang homeless, and destroyed the families of countless Liang soldiers. Even as a ghost, I won't let you get away with this!"

She had never let propriety hold her back, and now that she was facing death, she was even more unrestrained.

Her red robes billowing, Princess Chaoyang Chu Anle leaped from the city wall, but the pain she expected never came.

A hand with fine but slightly rough bones caught her tightly. "Princess, with a spirit like that, why seek death?"

The person wore black, with their head and face completely covered. After pulling her up, they shoved a small bundle into her arms and swept away.

After that, a little beggar appeared in the capital of Qi.

The little beggar asked neither for food nor money. She told everyone she met that she was General Tang Shiyun's former lover, recounting their story with such passion and flourish that she brought tears to countless women's eyes.

But though those women cried, why couldn't she understand the strange things they said? And why did they look at her so strangely?

Heaven was merciful. Her campaign of public opinion worked as she'd hoped, and Tang Shiyun soon appeared in person to clear up her confusion: she was a woman, and there was no way she could get her pregnant.
