Blurb:
Yan Chujiao was graceful, bright, and famed throughout the capital. Known as a delicate flower, she had a marriage arranged with a marquis's household, a match everyone envied.
But who could have guessed that her husband would die on their wedding day? The flower became a widow, and in an instant, she fell from grace and was trampled into the mud.
Before long, Yan Chu went from being the refined young lady everyone in the capital tried to emulate to an unwanted widow.
That suited her just fine. Yan Chu had no wish to marry again.
Everything was going her way, except for the fool she met at a flower-viewing banquet.
Beneath a rockery, she was talking with her younger sister when someone suddenly dropped down from above.
In fine clothes and purple robes, the breeze ruffling his sleeves and his jade pendant chiming, the jade-faced, red-lipped young man brazenly blocked her path and smiled. “Yan Chu, I adore you! I want to marry you!”
Yan Chu turned pale with fright and ran off, lifting her skirts.
After that, the obnoxious young rascal wouldn't stop pestering her, following her around and calling, “Chuchu, Chuchu!”
“Chuchu, you like sweets, so I brought in a chef from Jiangnan to make these pastries just for you. Have a taste.”
“Chuchu, I made a kite for you myself! It can even carry a person! You'll definitely win today's kite-flying contest!”
“Chuchu! Chuchu...”
Before long, everyone knew: the young general Qi Jing was smitten with Yan Chu.
The gentle, amiable crown prince, who was also interested in Yan Chu, realized he was in danger. Forgetting all propriety, he too brazenly cornered her against a wall. “How could my cousin possibly take a liking to that fellow?”
The handsome, talented third-place palace graduate, whom Yan Chu considered a kindred spirit, also made jealous remarks. “Didn't Chuchu say she could never like another man? Why are you making an exception now?”
The rascal's relentless pursuit had already given Yan Chu a headache. And all three men were powerful and influential. Yan Chu thought that as a mere widow, she had no wish to marry again for the rest of her life! Why was that so difficult?
A proper young lady from a noble family, who lets herself go after becoming a widow, later turns into a bewitching, flirtatious beauty × a carefree young loyal general, later an eager puppy who throws himself at her
Note: The male lead is the young general, who later becomes crown prince.
