Exiled, I Married an Amnesiac General [Reborn]

[Complete. Please leave a good review, sending you love!] When Li Chanxiu was exiled to the frontier, he married Pei Shen, who had lost his memory. As the Crown Prince's only child, he was confined along with his father from the moment he was born. To survive, he dressed as a girl and hid his gender from a young age. Later, with his father's plans in motion, he used his exile as a chance to leave the capital. At first, marrying Pei Shen was just a temporary measure. The man was taciturn, had been injured and lost his memory, and seemed honest, dependable, and easy to placate. Li Chanxiu could use him to conceal his identity, then leave once his father's former subordinates found them and go pursue his grand ambitions. Who could have known that after they married, the man would be neither honest nor dependable, keeping him close all day as if guarding the meat in his bowl? Later, he became even harder to placate, and the look in his eyes grew darker by the day. * Pei Shen, heir to the Prince of Yan, fought the enemy in the north with all the confidence of youth. But one careless mistake left him gravely wounded, with his memory gone and himself stranded in a northwestern border town. When his memory returned, he discovered that he was not only married, but had shamefully become so enamored with his beautiful wife that he was wrapped around the little thing's finger. Pei Shen: ... * Not long afterward, foreign enemies invaded and fires of war spread everywhere. Li Chanxiu's father raised an army in the southwest. An urgent decree from the court ordered the heir to the Prince of Yan to go suppress the rebellion. Pei Shen hesitated, then lied to his little wife: "We're out of rice at home. While I'm on leave, I'll go away for a while to sell animal hides and help cover the household expenses." Li Chanxiu, who was also almost unable to keep up the act, replied: "...All right. I'll go visit my parents, too, and borrow some money and rice to get by." They both breathed a sigh of relief. A month later... Pei Shen led his army into a standoff with the rebels. The two sides fought several engagements without either gaining the upper hand. Then the commanders of both armies came to the front lines... Li Chanxiu fell silent. The man across from him, mounted on a fine steed and cold as frost, was apparently his poor husband, who had gone off to sell hides and help with the household expenses. Seeing the rebel commander in a crimson robe and silver armor, still graceful as jade and strikingly handsome on horseback, Pei Shen fell silent as well. If he wasn't mistaken, this seemed to be his gentle, beautiful, virtuous wife, who had gone to visit her parents to borrow money and rice. 1. The shou disguises himself as a man early on. 2.

[Pre-release: "I Really Didn't Mean to Be My Bro's Wife". Please add it to your collection!] Chi Songyu came from an ordinary background. His family was unremarkable, and he had nothing special about him other than an exceptionally handsome face. And yet he was friends with Xie Lin, whose family was worth hundreds of billions. Xie Lin came from Jiangcheng's most prominent family. Proud and aloof, he was refined and distant, treating everyone with a cool detachment and keeping them at arm's length. He was incredibly difficult to approach. Jiangcheng's upper-class circles all said Chi Songyu was just lucky. He had gone to the same high school as Xie Lin and shared a dorm room with him in college, and it was only by relying on his pretty face and the advantage of being close by that he had latched onto Xie Lin. They called themselves business partners, but surely Chi Songyu had used his good looks to charm Xie Lin. Chi Songyu gave a faint, amused smile when he heard this and said nothing. The rumors weren't entirely wrong. He had deliberately befriended Xie Lin in college, then joined him at just the right time when Xie Lin started his business, becoming his business partner. After all, becoming friends with someone like Xie Lin was like getting ten years ahead in life. Who wouldn't want a shortcut? But saying Xie Lin had been charmed by him was giving him far too much credit. Xie Lin was cold and indifferent, never warm or cold toward anyone. The only thing that could capture his attention was work. Chi Songyu had even wondered if Xie Lin had any worldly desires or needs at all. Until one night, at a party, a chaotic and absurd accident left Chi Songyu hoarse from crying, without even a chance to rest. The next day, he saw the familiar face beside him, usually so cool and self-possessed, now marked with a few suspicious red scratches. It was the face of his boss, his business partner, and his bro, Xie Lin... Chi Songyu froze. Chi Songyu's expression shattered. * Xie Lin was naturally aloof. Aside from work, nothing and no one could take up even a fraction of his attention. Until one unexpected, chaotic night with his friend, the always composed and self-controlled Xie Lin completely lost control, got a taste for it, and couldn't get enough. Afterward, Chi Songyu tried to avoid him, dodging him at every turn. Until Xie Lin pinned him against the broad, cold desk in the CEO's office, leaving him nowhere to run... Chi Songyu's head hurt, and now his lower back hurt, too. I really don't want to be my bro's wife! * The rich second-generation crowd in Jiangcheng had long bet that Xie Lin and Chi Songyu were "more than friends." After betting for years, they discovered that the two really were nothing more than business partners and bros. At a party, someone sighed to Chi Songyu, "I always thought you and Xie Lin were a couple. I didn't realize it was a misunderstanding." Then he turned around, saw Chi Songyu's handsome, fair profile in the hazy lights, a trace of drunkenness in his eyes, and felt his heart stir. "Songyu, I heard you haven't had a partner in a long time. How about considering..." Before he could finish, Xie Lin entered, radiating coldness. The private room fell silent at once. "Xie Lin?" someone asked in surprise. "Didn't you say you weren't coming?" Xie Lin looked at Chi Songyu, who was already drunk. His cool expression softened slightly as he bent down and picked him up, casting a glance over everyone in the room and the person who had just tried to confess. In a calm voice, he said, "I'm here to pick up your sister-in-law." Everyone: ...!!? . Theme: Even when life puts you in dire straits, stay optimistic and work hard.
