After Marrying My Childhood Friend, the General

[Accepted manuscript, an embarrassing old work]

Female merchant X great general

Proud young lady X cold-faced God of War

-

Zhao Cheng'an was born into a life of luxury. Her father and brothers doted on her, and she was proud but never unreasonable.

When she was little, she saw the lonely young master next door and felt sorry for him.

Without thinking it through, she brought him home:

"From now on, stick with me. With a frame that frail, you might get bullied."

From then on, a handsome young master with picturesque features was always by the eldest young lady of the Zhao family's side.

-

Xiao Tingyan, the youngest legitimate son of the Duke of Chi's household, was sent to Jiangnan as a child to recuperate from an illness.

Later, when enemy forces threatened the border, he donned his armor and made a name for himself in battle.

The powerful factions in the capital all wanted to win him over, with money, titles, or marriage.

But the young general ignored them all. Under pressure from every side,

he turned around and took the honors he had earned through mountains of corpses and seas of blood to the emperor, asking for an imperial marriage decree.

The daughter of a wealthy merchant in Yangzhou: Zhao Cheng'an.

Everyone was dumbfounded and felt sorry for him.

No one knew that on their wedding night, the young general could barely contain his excitement. His words, "Sisi, my wife," were almost a sigh.
